Dan is happy to wear a new hearing aid and hears all the sounds perfectly. Right now, the boy is undergoing hearing and speech rehabilitation. All rehabilitation teachers note that speech classes are effective with the new "ear". All this has become possible thanks to you, friends!

An 8-year-old boy has a fourth degree of hearing loss, a condition bordering on deafness. Dan had a cochlear implant installed in his right ear, and he started wearing a hearing aid in his other ear. Hearing was restored and speech started up: the child studied, communicated without restrictions, and graduated well from the first grade. But the technology has a limited resource: after several years of service, the hearing aid failed, and Dan immediately lost his ability to hear by 50%. In order not to remain in sound isolation, to continue to live fully, a new "ear" was needed, and you, friends, came to the boy's aid in time.

"The new device makes it possible for my son to hear 100%! It is clear that Dan is very happy with the new "ear": he shows everyone his new thing. Now my son is undergoing rehabilitation for hearing and speech, and with the new device, classes are easier for him. He actively participates in the dialogues — without pauses and repetitions. Thank you all for your interest in our son's story. I sincerely thank everyone for their kindness," says Svetlana, the boy's mother.

Dan and his mother take care of their new equipment every day: they wipe the "ear" from dust, dry it to remove moisture and charge it. He hopes that the device will last a long time to live without fear of being in silence. Dear friends, the Banari family thanks you for your help!

About the campaign

Danu has a severe hearing loss and needs a super-powerful hearing aid.

Danu is 8 years old. He can hear thanks to a cochlear implant and a powerful hearing aid. But the hearing aid recently broke down completely. His hearing dropped instantly. He urgently needs a new hearing aid so that he can study well at school and hear the world around him.

His hearing problems began when he was three. His parents noticed that their son didn’t respond when spoken to. Later, his kindergarten teachers complained: “He’s always daydreaming and doesn’t react when we call his name.” After a hearing test, it turned out that he had profound hearing loss – grade 4, a condition close to deafness.

With a cochlear implant in his right ear and a powerful hearing aid in his left, Danu learned to speak clearly, to read, started school, and successfully completed the first grade. He even went to camp for the first time in his life. But then the hearing aid stopped working. Completely. The cochlear implant still helps, but it doesn’t provide clear hearing. On top of that, its battery runs out quickly. At any moment, the boy could find himself in complete silence.

A super-powerful hearing aid is not provided for free, and without it Danu cannot study properly, communicate with family and friends, play sports, or simply live a normal life. Let’s help Danu hear!
