Help my Hearing ( aids ) funding to listen better
Donation protected
My story goes back in time a little. I was 12 yrs old and fell into a underground bee hive nest of African honey bees . I was stung by hundreds of them and nearly died at that time. I thank God for my grandma Amalia “ Mamanina “ at the time she saved my life thru the use of natural Medecina. This happened in Dominican Republic in 1974 and since then my hearing loss and nerve damage started as a kid I’d always fail on the anual visits to doctors for hearing test coming from a large family my parents did not make it a priority or even the doctors were not pushing for me to get hearing aids since my mom and dad were trying to keep a roof over our heads and raising nine children ..
Moving forward in time I also developed tinnitus ( Ring of the ear drum ) my hearing was mostly affected in my high frequency hearing loss and working in the clubs at night and load warehouse work environment did not help ..I did have hearing aids years ago before digital one were available , they were analog and they eventually made my hearing much worse doctors had eventually prescribed more expensive hearing aids but insurance at work did not cover them .. Today for those that are close too me or know me May have witnessed this medical condition of mine with hearing loss m..
I did become good at reading lips when ( facing another person ) otherwise I try to guess what your saying . I have to ask other to constantly repeat themselves , or be told by other forget it it’s ok!! .., which makes me respond to NO please tell me again if it was important enough to be said then I should hear it ...I’m always telling other people listen to learn & LEARN to LISTEN !! When it comes to learning something new.. I also have to remember those teachings and try to the best of my ability to be a good listener and not just hear you. I want to learn to be more attentive to what others are saying and today as a elder , grandpa, husband , Spiritual Leader etc . All hats I wear it’s important I accept and do something about it ...I want to listen to birds signing, I want to listen to songs clearer that are sung and listen more in our natural environment..
I have and in recent months consulted with my Doctors a hearing specialist and they have came up with the best solution and HEARING AIDS for me .. I’ve been tested had them sized up and fitted and now the Hearing Aids they sit Waiting for me to pick them up soon . I have one final fitting next week and now the problem is that my Health insurance will not cover them and I do not qualify for Medicaid Im hoping to get approved for possible credit with no interest but don’t have the best credit rating at this time ...
this was the last thing I wanted to do was create a fundraiser for my own cause when there are much other more important things needed in the WORLD...
I have remember honestly this is what I need in my WORLD right now... besides learning sign language this is the most important thing I can use to have a better quality of life ...this amount I am asking for help with will get me a mid range tier hearing aids with opportunities to upgrade to better pair if possible ..
Thank you in advance
