It turned out that Saveliy did not hear the world around him right away, but only at one and a half years old. At that time, the doctor concluded that the child had an extreme degree of hearing loss, bordering on deafness. At first, the boy wore hearing aids, but they did not help at all, so a year after Saveliy's family learned of his diagnosis, he received his first implant—and for the first time in his life, the boy began to hear.
A few years later, he received an implant in his other ear. Now Saveliy needs ongoing work with highly qualified specialists, since the surgeries are only 10% of the success. In order for the boy to catch up with his peers in speech and be able to live like an ordinary hearing child, he needs rehabilitation. Saveliy's family is asking you for help in paying for one of these sessions—please support the boy.
