No experience with CI, however: SI has SSHL left side from infection. Dealt with it for 20 years, then an impact basal fracture degraded the right side. Start

No experience with CI, however: SI has SSHL left side from infection. Dealt with it for 20 years, then an impact basal fracture degraded the right side. Started with Apple Airpods Pro as aids. Now using Oticon CROS and Own. CROS works OK, Own works OK, but both are compromises, and have the overhead of using aids. Both have a different sound experience. CI seems like another compromise. I am guessing stem cell is the golden ring - growing back the nerves.
