Right. It also depends on the person's previous ability to see.
If a person used to hear before and then became deaf, that person would still be able to determine some sounds when he got a new hearing aid.
A person who was completely blind since birth would have a harder time with this technology since the body doesn't immediately know how to adapt and would take more time to get used to it.
