Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Sohel in Nottingham

Sohel needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,900.

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Nottingham 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 $3,900. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $3,900 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $3,350 • Fitting and training sessions: $330 • Delivery and set-up: $75 • First-year servicing plan: $145 Thanks for being kind about this. - Sohel
