He would be too lazy to do the training necessary to make the CI successful, too. Bear in mind, this is Hollywood we're talking about here. If they ever had a story line where House went deaf and was implanted with CI, they'd probably write the storyline to reflect the idea that you put the damn thing on, turn it on, and presto! You can hear, understand, and speak from the moment of switch on! No mappings necessary. No speech therapy necessary.

What a crock of stupidity, but that would be Hollywood for you. Ever ready to perpetrate stereotypes and misinformation.
