Some people do and some don’t. This is an individual decision that needs to be made by the cochlear implant user. Many patients find that having some sound input from a hearing aid on the opposite side is very beneficial. Others feel that the hearing aid does not provide any additional information, so they choose not to wear the hearing aid.
