Hi Bill,
Maybe this will give you some clues:

I am eligible for cochlear implants but have decided against them for a
different reason. I am susceptible to sepsis due to a compound leg fracture
from over 20 years ago. I am not ready to take a chance on infection near
the implant area. If I was younger, I might consider it, but being over 60,
my body is already gradually falling apart from normal deterioration.
Instead, I have Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids that allow me to port sound
directly to my ears from my cell phone and other Bluetooth devices. The
direct, in-the-ear amplification exceeds my expectations for sound quality.
