I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Syracuse 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 $9,800.
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 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $9,800 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $9,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $240
• Delivery and set-up: $115
• First-year servicing plan: $445
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going, Iván. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care
Hang in there, Iván. Looking forward to the next update.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Siliguri
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 12 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Syracuse
thanks for sharing this, Iván. Get well soon. Please keep us posted. Love from Tema.
