Many deaf adult people decide to get CI because they don't want to get blind in the future.

The reason why I say that is because neither of the sisters have ever worn hearing aids so sounds are likely to have little meaning to them. They are likely to be in the early and mid 40s by now. I think I should have made that clear in an earlier post.
Sighted deaf have given up CIs if they never heard a sound prior to getting CIs. There are success to be sure but they're not as common as those who benefitted from HAs in the past.
I wouldn't say that for all deafblind. I can think of two deafblind right here on this forum who benefitted greatly from implants.
