I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Bologna 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 $4,550.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $3,950
• Fitting and training sessions: $170
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• First-year servicing plan: $285
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
