Cochlear Implant Petition
We all tend to take our hearing for granted, that is until it deteriorates. For many Kiwis (and others around our world) a Cochlear Implant is the only option for hearing... your help is needed to ensure more Kiwi's have the opportunity to hear.
Take 1 minute to sign this online petition for funding... link below.
Thank you
In Summary: A lot of New Zealanders would benefit from having a cochlear – they need to be referred as soon as their hearing starts deteriorating. There is a lack of funding however the government would end up making more money back in tax as the recipient is more likely to be employed after a CI. Therefore they have potentially years of paying tax instead of claiming a benefit.
It is more successful in those that get the CI as soon as they lose their hearing.
Would be great if you could sign the petition for more funding
You can also support CI recipient, Lewis Williams petition calling on increased funding of cochlear implants for adults, by signing and sharing the following link:
