Hy is a 32-year-old farmer who has two older sisters. He enjoys playing soccer.
When he was ten years old, Hy had an ear infection in his left ear. He developed a cholesteatoma, a growth in his middle ear. Since then, he experienced ear discharge, hearing loss, pain, and a buzzing in his ear. His symptoms often prevented him from working on his farm.
When Hy learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for half an hour to seek treatment. On December 15, ENT surgeons at CSC performed a mastoidectomy in Hy’s left ear. After recovery, his hearing will improve. CSC is requesting $842 to fund this procedure.
“I hope that…I can go to work on my farm as normal,” says Hy.

Hy underwent successful ear surgery.
Hy’s treatment went well, though he does still experience tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ear). Following the procedure, he was given antibiotics.

Hy says, “Now that I am better after the operation, I can go back to work as usual.”
