Independence for Pierre: pair of hearing aids

A pair of hearing aids would give Pierre independence - we're $4,350 away.

Pierre lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Victoria Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,350. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Pierre could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change everyday life for the whole family. 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 $4,350 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $3,550 • Fitting and training sessions: $310 • Delivery and set-up: $165 • First-year servicing plan: $325 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
