Wayne needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
Help Wayne get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so He can get to the shops and visit friends.
Anywhere in the world908 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Newcastle General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,600.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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 $7,600 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $240
• Delivery and set-up: $130
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $7,230
With deep gratitude,
Wayne

Best of luck. Wishing Wayne a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Newcastle
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 28 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Mumbai.
