There been so many post on CI all over the board,, wow more discussion on CI and HA is enough or me to read, But I have been implanted with Mel-el C.I. and I have no problem with mine. Everybody is different. Everybody feelings are different on C.I. issues. I can hear pretty well with C.I. such as speech, words, musics, hearing the phone ringing, hearing my child cries, dog barking, all above. But speaking of phone C.I. required to have a speical phone that accpet C.I. to have C.I. phone that allow to talk on a phone. Everybody react differently when it come to C.I., HA, and hearing aid. The important thing is if you are happy what you want then don't let anyone push for something you don't want and try to play mind games. It up to you to have C.I. or not. I respect anybody choices what they choose. Some can be against C.I. or HA or heading aid that okay. Just don't change your friendship over C.I. issues.
