      That's not what CIs look like, or at least none of the ones I've ever seen. The microphone + battery part of the CI tends to sit on the ear differently

          Usually, but people do get 2 sometimes. There are complex factors involved related to the amount of residual hearing in each ear (getting a CI completely destroys residual hearing in that ear), risk/willingness to undergo additional surgery, and cost, among other things.
