Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Hatice in Nijmegen
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Hatice independence - we're $3,950 away.
🇳🇱 Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands2,702 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Nijmegen Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,950.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $3,950 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $3,400
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $180
• First-year servicing plan: $150
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
