I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Sacramento General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,050. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $4,050 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $3,450 • Fitting and training sessions: $105 • Delivery and set-up: $115 • First-year servicing plan: $380 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Avery
