I have a friend who lost her hearing completely after being given Streptomycin when she was 15 years old.
She lives in a rural part of China where medical support is non existant
We want to know are there any new products or methods to correct this without going to the unaffordable route of a Cochlear implant , i have heard the CI is about $70,000 ??
She is a very intelligent educated woman but has worked shovelling coal for 10 years due to discrimination over her hearing impairment , and has no social life due to a lack of acceptance and understanding of disabilities in China so it would be nice to find a way to help.
are there any medical experts on this site ?
thankyou. Em
