I know it takes a hard work to get used to it and all kinds of sounds like bird chirping, waves, windy, pouring rains, telephone rings, dog barking & all kinds of things of the sounds of the Cochlear Implants so it might be a way better than the hearing aids.
The hearing aids cause for ringing too much and turn off by itself while hearing other things or talking. But I would rather going for CI because it might be a better one for myself and so on. I know the longer periods of the months goes by and I will love it that's for sure!
