Alexey Beresnev lives on the Black Sea coast, in Novorossiysk, but never once in his life has he jumped with the boys from the breakwater. Doctors forbade Lesha to jump because of an ear disease.
The boy has a fluid accumulation in the middle ear on the right and left. It fills the whole cavity, contacts the eardrum, and the sound running through the auditory ossicles is "muffled. Lesha hears people as if from under water. His own voice seems louder to him than it really is, or vice versa, it feels as if he crawled out of the sea, but his ear is still blocked. And in the moments of aggravation, the boy can hear something that is not there - the crunch of snow, the crackling of a fire, the gurgling of water. Fluid in Lesha's ears eventually becomes viscous (his illness is also called "sticky" ear), it affects the bones of hearing and can provoke complete deafness.
His parents treated Lesha's ears all these years, but the result was only temporary. Because of the disease, the child did not go to the beach or even to kindergarten, because any kindergarten is a known breeding ground for snot. A runny nose leads to serious complications of the disease.
Only recently, the Beresnevs learned about a new method for the treatment of complicated otitis media, balloonplasty. The National Center for Reproductive Disorders in Moscow confirmed that this procedure will not only remove fluid but will also expand the ear canal and prevent it from filling the middle ear cavity.
The surgery, which will help Lesha, will have to be paid for. This is his only chance to go back to kindergarten and then to go to school (not to attend classes occasionally, with breaks for illness, but to attend classes all the time).
