Channa is a 7th grader from Cambodia. He has two brothers and enjoys playing soccer and watching television after school.
Two years ago, Channa had an ear infection. This infection caused the tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, in his right ear to perforate. For this reason, Channa experiences discharge, tinnitus, and hearing loss. He cannot listen clearly to others and has a difficult time communicating.
Channa traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On February 11th, he will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in his right ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $464 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care.

Channa underwent myringoplasty ear surgery.
Channa had a successful operation and he is now recovering at home. He will need to avoid loud noises and prevent any water from entering his ear until it heals. Nurses have provided Channa with ear drops, which he is required to use daily for two weeks to prevent infection. Surgery has relieved Channa of his ear infection and discomfort, and is important so that he does not risk further hearing loss and ear damage.
He said, “I am so happy now that my surgery is complete. I no longer feel any vertigo, and I can return to my classes again.”
