I have a cochlear implant for almost six years - did not regret that I got it at my late age - I had not worn a hearing aid for 42 years because I did not like the sounds. With CI, I enjoy listening and am happy that I can sleep without CI! If I ever have a baby with hearing loss, I will wait till one is a few years old.
