The
HearUs
foundation
has
been
established
with
the
object
of
raising
funds
in
order
to
assist
individuals
who
are
unable
to
cover
the
cost
of
a
cochlear
implant.
There are many
children and adults
in South Africa
who have a severe
to profound hearing
loss, which can
have a devastating
effect on the
individuals concerned
as well as their
families. For
children born
deaf the ability
to reach their
full potential
will be compromised.
For young people
and adults everyday
communications
at work or in
the classroom
will be diminished.
Telephone use
is also compromised.
Cochlear implants
provide the opportunity
to restore hearing
or provide hearing
for the first
time to these
individuals and
give them the
confidence to
live a full life.
However, the cost
of this procedure
in South Africa
is very expensive
and medical aids
do not cover the
the full cost
of the implant.
There are also
additional expenses
incurred after
the implantation.
We
therefore
appeal
to
any
person
or
company
that
would
like
to
contribute
towards
this
fund
to
please
do
so.
HearUs
has
no
commission
structure
and
minimal
overhead
costs.
This
means
that
almost
100%
of
your
donation
will
be
directed
towards
the
beneficiaries
of
Cochlear
implants.
