a man who is profoundly deaf has Australian federal government National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funding
funding is not one bucket - you can only use the funding for the specified items

they told him he couldn't get a new hearing aid, as you can only get a new hearing aid funded every 10 years
but there is $30,000 of "social inclusion/social participation" funding allocated for a carer to take him to social events where ***he won't be able to hear anyone***
he asked if he could use some of the $30,000 for the hearing aid he needs, and they said no
