I'd love this for my grandmother here in the US. She is 89 and just went blind 2 and a half years ago. At the same time, her hearing aids went out and her hearing has deteriorated too. We got one new hearing aid, but it doesn't work well. It's nice to see she is not too old to get a cochlear implant since she has no major health issues. Are there any American counterparts I could contact? I'm in Waco, Texas.
