Sopheak underwent ear surgery.
Sopheak had a successful operation, was discharged from the hospital, and is now recovering from her mastoidectomy procedure at home. She will need to avoid loud noises and prevent any water from entering her ear until her ear heals completely. She will use ear drops every day for two weeks to prevent infection, and she is set to return in six weeks for a follow-up appointment. Surgery has relieved Sopheak of her ear infection and discomfort, and is important so that she does not risk further hearing loss and ear damage.
Her husband is so thankful for all the help she has received and Sopheak shared, “I am so happy that I am feeling better after the operation.”

Sopheak is a 45-year-old grocery seller from Cambodia. She has three children, two sons and one daughter. She likes to listen to the radio, watch television, and look after her children.
When she was young, Sopheak had an ear infection. This infection caused a cholesteatoma, or an abnormal skin growth, to develop in the middle ear behind the ear drum. For this reason, Sopheak experiences ear discharge, tinnitus, and ear pain. She finds difficulty in hearing clearly, and she has trouble communicating with her family members and her customers.
Sopheak traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On March 11th, she will undergo a mastoidectomy procedure in her right ear. During this procedure, ENT surgeons will remove the cholesteatoma. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $925 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care.
