I told the audie that the sounds are awful and beeping or squeaking. I really dont know how to describe the sound.

Basically what you are hearing is very high pitched sound compared to what you are used to and that's why it comes out like a beep at this point in time. Hearing aids are not as good generally with picking up high frequencies so it can be quite a change for people used to hearing aids.
And yes, you ar right, the brain is dealing with the new way of hearing. Remember, CI sound is completely artificial but which tries to put together the range of sound frequencies, whereas HA sound is an amplification of your natural hearing, which at profound levels is badly damaged at particular frequencies.
