Curious- I have being to conferences in Rochester, Utah and Minneapolis - I have talked to folks getting /having CI . Never heard this until I was on Twitter this past week. Is it true if the CI does not work; you cannot go back to hearing aids

Yes, for the most part this is true. CI surgery generally damages normal residual hearing. You don't go back. There are hybrid CIs today that can preserve residual hearing. This is why, in most cases, a person is not a candidate for a CI unless the residual hearing they have is not very usable.
