The 45 yo girl is  Lisa and we have known her since she was 10 to , her mum and dad have never had much money as they are strong Christians who have given most of their earnings away and they always have thought to Lord would heal Lisa , they have been waiting for a miracle all these years , we want to see if a cocular would work for Lisa and maybe we will pay for it , we are in Australia

HI @Colin Hatcher, Thanks for reaching out and for your question.

There are a number of factors that can determine whether a cochlear implant will be a good match for someone, including their current age, severity of their hearing loss, and their age when their hearing loss began. Since we cannot give out specific advice on social media, I would suggest you get in touch with our team in Australia. They will be able to take a closer look at your friend's particular hearing loss and advise whether there is a hearing solution for her. You can contact them on:
