I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Chattogram 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 $300.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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 $300 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $260
Thank you for reading my story.
