Grisha got a hearing aid kit!

Providenie

Foundation Moscow region

Thanks to your help, we managed to buy a set of spare parts and accessories for hearing aids for Grisha Kortunov from Saratov region. Grisha has not been able to hear since birth. At the age of three he was diagnosed with a grade 4 sensorineural bilateral hearing loss. Six months later he was able to have one ear implanted. But his brain was yet to be "taught" how to hear. Grisha worked much with speech therapists, speech therapists, surdologists in his home town Balakovo in Saratov region, and in Engels boarding school for the hearing impaired. Grisha recently had an implanted second ear, and this year, at the age of 8, Grisha is in the 1st year of primary school! Grisha loves his studies. He is trying hard, he loves drawing and physical education. But the speech processors with which Grisha hears have to be constantly maintained and their spare parts replaced - the wires are very fragile and their life span is not long. Not to mention that a special cover is needed for bathing in the bathtub or swimming in the pool. The family did not have money for all that at the moment, because the head of the family was ill. Therefore Grisha really needed your and our help to buy hearing aids. Now Grisha has a year's supply of all the necessary parts for his speech processors, so he can continue his studies at school and communicate with his peers. And he is even able to swim! Thank you to everyone who helped this family in their current situation!

Campaign information

Grisha needs help in acquiring hearing aids!

Grisha was diagnosed with grade 4 sensorineural bilateral hearing loss too late, at age 3. A lot of time was lost for development Parents repeatedly applied to specialists with complaints that their son does not respond to the name and does not respond to requests, but each time the doctors wrote it off as peculiarities of development. Grisha had his first implantation seven months after the diagnosis. Unfortunately, it did not bring any results, Grisha still could not hear. There was only hope for cochlear implantation. The surgery was already done in Moscow. But his brain, not having learned to hear for more than 3.5 years, did not recognize the sounds. He only had to be taught that. Grisha did a lot of work with speech pathologists, speech therapists, surdologists, and in his town of Balakovo, Saratov region, and in Engels in a boarding school for the hearing impaired. Three years later his family received a quota for second ear implantation and after the surgery Grisha went to the first grade of a regular school at the age of 8. He likes studying - Grisha is trying hard, he loves drawing and physical education. But the speech processors which Grisha uses to hear have to be constantly maintained: their wires break, and they need a special cover for bathing in the bathtub or swimming in the pool. The family does not have money for that at the moment. Grisha has a family with many children, in addition his father was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer of the 4th degree. All family money was spent on support of the head of the family - surgery, rehabilitation and chemotherapy. That is why Grisha needs your help to buy the hearing aids. The boy is eager to continue his education, to socialize with his peers and to go to a regular school. Let's help this family in their current difficult situation!
