I know a number of deaf people who said they were annoyed by sounds they weren't used to hearing. Especially when he first got them, my dad would often take his hearing aids out when he came home from work. He got so tired of background noises that hearing people take for granted or just tune out. I think it is almost overstimulating, especially since it's basically going from silence to tons of different noises with no adjustment period.
