This is so deceptive. CI's don't restore hearing. They give you artificial hearing but they don't work for every person and it comes with huge risks. I am not someone against CI's but I think that a lot of information is misleading. The training that it takes to be able to understand what you are hearing through the CI's is extensive and takes months and even then you may not be able to do simple things like talk on the phone. Please do research before you make a decision.
