Oun is a 57-year-old soft drink seller. He is married and has one daughter and two sons. Oun enjoys playing chess and growing vegetables.
Five years ago, Oun had an ear infection. This infection caused the tympanic membrane, or ear drum, in his right ear to perforate. For this reason, Oun experiences pain, ear discharge, and hearing loss. He cannot communicate clearly with others and has spent a lot of money on medicines that did not help.
Oun traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On September 8th, he will undergo a surgical procedure to repair the perforation in his right ear which will help him hear well again. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $487 to fund this life-changing procedure. This cost covers his medications, supplies, and inpatient care.
Oun says, “I really hope I can improve my hearing.”

Oun underwent surgery to repair his perforated ear drum.
Oun was depressed he was not able to hear customers or his family and suffered from frequent infections. As a result, he decided to take a neighbor’s advice and traveled three hours hoping for treatment. After a successful operation, he rested overnight at the hospital, then was able to return home with antibiotics and ear drops. A week later, he returned to have his stitches removed, and was amazed at how much his hearing has improved. The improved hearing will change his life because he will be able to communicate better with others, and not suffer from the hearing loss he has had for so many years.
Oun said: “I am relieved I will have no more ear problems; we spent so much money on medicines that never worked. I want to thank the staff at the hospital and the people I don’t know who support care for Cambodians that need help like me. I can listen well to my customers and enjoy my family.”
