That's great that you're happy with your hearing aids! I was the same way myself, been wearing hearing aids since I was a baby, couldn't go a day without my hearing aids, and thought I'd always be a hearing aids user 'til tinnitus and vertigo changed my whole world, so here I am, a bilateral CI user as of June 4th.
May 28th, my audi will activate my newly implanted side but won't let me wear my current CI for one week, hence why I won't 'offically' be a bilateral CI'er til June 4th although I am now a bilateral implantee. 
While I love my CI, I do sometime get sad and miss the simple days of hearing aids but then again, I am reminded of all the ear infections I've endured, all those times when people glare at me telling me "your damn hearing aid is "eeeeeeeeeeeee"ing!" then I get extremely thankful for my CI, not having to deal with any of that right now.
