Independence for Praveen: pair of hearing aids
Praveen needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $650.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Nizamabad 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 $650.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $650 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $520
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $70
With deep gratitude,
Praveen

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Praveen.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. pair of hearing aids is the biggest at $520. I'll keep the page updated.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update!
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Nizamabad.
best of luck, Praveen. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
