I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Bonny Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $400 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $20 • pair of hearing aids: $320 • Fitting and training sessions: $60 If you're reading this, thank you.
