I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Anaheim General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,150. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $7,150 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $6,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $320 • Delivery and set-up: $125 • First-year servicing plan: $205 Thank you for reading my story.

        Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Sacramento so I could bring a meal. God bless.

        • Noah G. Mitchell

          Take care, Eugene. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
