274/366: Insurance

I have a cochlear implant.
It's not a hearing aid.
It doesn't help me hear "better".
It is how I hear.
There is a huge difference.
Without it, I am completely deaf in that ear.

My poor processor.
Is now 5 years old.
Cracked.
Worn.
Literally held together.
With tape.

Evidently.
I don't qualify for a new one.

I won't ever pretend.
To understand.
The people that make these decisions.

I would like them.
To spend one day.
Unable to hear.
To understand.

Then decide again.
If I qualify.
For one that works properly.

I think their answer.
Would be different.
