So I bought a better designed white cane, a sunu band for orientation and obstacle detection, new bone conducting headset to get the vOICe signal and a rivo keyboard for the phone.

Spent over a thousand. Most of this stuff isn't even reimbursed in WMO (Dutch system) or it takes months for the Gemeente to come to a decision to reimburse. And even then, the tech is never yours. So I'm fully aware of my huge privilege in earning comfortably so I can afford this (just). But I'm dismayed at the cost, although I can see where it's coming from. These are not mainstream devices. Especially the www.whitecane.com IO cane.. It's so ergonomic and well designed, and the tips are so excellent. However, over 500 euro. That was the biggest expense.
