20-year-old Chin is a factory worker from Cambodia. She is the youngest of four siblings, and her favorite pastimes are reading books and cleaning.
Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) shares, “When Chin was ten years old, she began having recurrent ear discharge and hearing loss from her right ear.” Despite receiving treatment in the past, she still experiences pain, discharge, and hearing loss. “When I have ear discharge it feels painful and there is a bad smell,” shares Chin. “This disrupts my life and makes it difficult to communicate with my friends.”
After hearing about CSC from a fellow villager who received treatment, Chin traveled three hours to seek help from our medical partner. For $399 Chin will receive a myringoplasty to stop the discharge and regain her hearing.
“I hope after treatment, the ear discharge stops and I can have good hearing,” Chin shares. “I want to study English.”

Chin received successful treatment for her chronic ear infections.
“Chin’s myringoplasty went well,” her doctor at Children’s Surgical Centre reports. “Chin has mild pain around the wound, but her discharge has stopped and she shows no signs of experiencing vertigo. She will apply ear drops daily for two weeks, and have her sutures removed in one week. After six weeks she will have an audiogram.”
