5-year-old Pavlyk wants to hear sounds

Hearing impairment is always a serious problem for the child and his parents. It is hard to accept the fact that the little boy unable to accept such a rich and countless diverse world of sounds! It is painful to realize that the disease brings between baby and other people invisible barrier, isolating the boy from the world that he wants to learn. However, it is possible to fix with the help of a hearing aid.

Pavlyk is completely a normal child. He also loves running, playing, dancing, having fun, and also experimenting with various objects, builds, and draws Lipe. The boy is only five years old, but he looks like a young technician who is interested in cars, planes, locomotives, airbag. In kindergarten when dealing with teacher and other kids he tilts his head to better hear others.

My husband and I live in a studio apartment. Our family has many children; we are raising seven children – two girls and five boys, one of whom is a child with Down syndrome who require additional care and money to visit a special school. Pavlik has impaired hearing from birth and not once passed a medical examination by specialists of the Kyiv Institute of hearing. But due to the fact that he does not hear in one ear only cannot get disability.

To make a child developing normally, we're advised to buy a hearing aid in the centre of Hearing in Kyiv. For our family it turned unbearable for this device, the price is 7 075 UAH. We therefore appeal to concerned people to help in purchasing this hearing aid.
