A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Ignacio: help me move freely

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the San Jose Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,000. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $8,000 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $7,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $350 • Delivery and set-up: $110 • First-year servicing plan: $290 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Ignacio
