I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Mysuru 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 $950.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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 $950 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $840
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Tejas
Quick update: $501 raised so far (53%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Small update. $236 so far, the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled.
