Independence for Nisha: cochlear implant processor upgrade
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Nisha independence - we're $3,650 away.
🇺🇸 Rochester, Minnesota, United States1,179 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Rochester 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 $3,650.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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 $3,650 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,850
• Fitting and training sessions: $250
• Delivery and set-up: $190
• First-year servicing plan: $360
With deep gratitude,
Nisha
