Cochlear Implant Funding Assistance Program

CHHA-Calgary offers funding assistance with the daily operational costs of Cochlear Implants for users on a low or fixed income who reside in Alberta. Batteries and accessories needed for Cochlear Implant use can be quite costly. Three batteries are required at a time and the batteries last an average of 2.5 days. Accessories can range in price from $19.00 for an ear hook to $126.00 for a coil with cable (based on US prices from Cochlear Corp for the cochlear implant used by Calgary Health Region patients, the ESPrit-3G).

CHHA-Calgary has set aside funding to help qualifiers (successful applicants) pay for batteries and accessories, the initial set-up costs of buying a battery charger and rechargeable batteries for their Cochlear Implants. To find out if you are eligible to receive up to $1,000 per year in funding assistance, please download the application form in Microsoft Office Word format or a PDF document.

Please note: The need for financial assistance is defined by the low-income cut-off levels established by the Canadian Council on Social Development - www.ccsd.ca.
