Project Details
With My Cochlear Implant and Its Renewal, I Live
Hundreds of children using cochlear implants face a serious challenge due to damage or expiration of essential spare parts such as cables, batteries, and external processors.
With the sharp rise in prices of imported spare parts, many families can no longer afford replacements, threatening children’s return to isolation and loss of hearing once again.
Through the project “With My Cochlear Implant and Its Renewal, I Live”, Ataa Fund protects the right of persons with hearing disabilities to continuous communication and social inclusion by ensuring the sustainability of cochlear implant efficiency nationwide.
This is achieved by providing essential spare parts, maintaining device functionality, and preserving the auditory and language gains achieved after implantation.
