Thunly is a 42-year-old construction worker. His wife sells groceries near their home, and they have two children in primary school. In his free time, Thunly enjoys watching TV and listening to music.
Two years ago, Thunly developed an ear infection that caused the tympanic membrane, or the eardrum, in his left ear to perforate. As a result, he experiences tinnitus, ear discharge, and hearing loss, and he cannot communicate clearly with others.
Fortunately, our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), can help Thunly receive treatment. On April 22nd, he will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in his left ear, during which surgeons will close the perforation. CSC is requesting $487 to help fund this procedure. Thunly’s family has also been able to contribute $100 towards his care.
Thunly shared, “I hope my hearing will improve and the discharge will stop.”

Thunly underwent myringoplasty surgery to restore his hearing.
Thunly traveled for six hours to reach the Children’s Surgical Centre for diagnosis and treatment of his hearing loss and pain. He had successful surgery and spent a week at the hospital until stitches were removed. He had a week of antibiotics to ensure his ear would not get reinfected and kept water away from his surgical site. He returned home with improved hearing and no pain, which is a big relief. This will improve his chances of getting consistent work in construction, as he will not have frequent illnesses and his communication will improve.
Thunly’s wife said: “We are thrilled that my husband will no longer suffer from ear infections and will be able to communicate better with us. He was not able to hear the television or hear his favorite music due to poor hearing, but now he is happier because he can hear. Thank you to the staff and to the people who helped Thunly have this operation.”
