Hearing aids for my father.
If you know my father, the news of him being severely deaf is not too much of a surprise and him asking for help isn’t going to happen.
However, I am not him so I’m asking for help. It’s been officially diagnosed that my dad has severe hearing loss in both ears and is in need of hearing aids. This has been a long time coming, growing up it was always put off as selective hearing and nothing was ever done.
Since I lost my hearing I understand the isolation that comes with being unable to understand what’s going on around me. Socially or professionally the world is a hearing place and people don’t like repeating themselves. I was privileged to be profoundly deaf for my cochlear implants are covered by insurance. However because my father is “only severely” he’s not a qualifier for help from insurance.
Any money raised will go to hearing aids for my father. It’s not longer something that is avoidable as his job requires him to hear. Any donation is appreciated and updates will be given.
