I know I will not like it and I cannot imagine how much shit they have to endure

1. constant noise while sleeping - snoring, people walking around, traffic noise, crick, toilet flushing, roomie's lousy music, etc.
2. forced to listen (even when ignoring) to :blah::blah::blah:
3. shrilling noise like baby crying at public place
4. and many more to list

Those are the reasons why doctors and audiologists recommended me not to get CIs. If I am already antsy with the sounds that I hear with my hearing aids which I have worn since I was five, they are worried about how my brain would react to the inputs from the CIs.
 
Soft foam plugs only give you about 30 dB hearing loss from normal, depending on the brand it might be a little more or a little less. So she was not having THAT difficult a time hearing. The article said moderate hearing loss and that's exactly what it was...not DEAF for a day!
