Help for new Bone anchored hearing aid!!
Hi everyone.
My name is Jo and Im so embarassed to ask this. As some people know (or not Know), i have a hearing problem. Therefor I wear a hearing aid. But this is a specific hearing aid: a bone anchored hearing aid, or BAHA. I can only use this specific BAHA hearing aid, for i was born without An outer eat Canal, so i can only hear through bone conduction. The BAHA is clicked on a little screw that's been played in my skull (see pictures).
Now,the thing is, the BAHA I have now is already almost 20 years old. I have this specific device since 2002. The device is actually outdated and because it's 20 years old,it doesnt work 100% properly anymore. And I notice the Quality of my hearing degrades.
So yes, I actually should need a new device. The problem is, those devices Cost more Then 10.000 euro. And the reimbursement of the health insurance is only around 2500 euro.
So therefor im asking help. If I could collect a part of the payment for a new BAHA device , i could afford with the payment for a new BAHA device that I really need.
Im so ashamed to ask this, I feel so small. But Ive heard from other People they tried to get help through crowdfunding,so maybe,maybe I can also get some help this way ? I don't Know how to ask this in another way. Please please Know that Every euro,Every help is so much appreciated!
Thank you so much!
Love,Jo
