Pai Lin is a 14-year-old girl from Cambodia. She is the youngest in her family. She likes to read books, sleep, and do housework.
When she was younger, Pai Lin developed an ear infection in her right ear that perforated her ear drum. She experiences ear discharge, ringing in the ear, and hearing loss that makes it difficult for her to hear at school.
Pai Lin traveled with her aunt to reach our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for treatment. On January 4, CSC surgeons will perform a myringoplasty on her right ear to repair the perforated eardrum and stop the discharge. Over time, her hearing should improve.
Pai Lin says, “I hope that I will have good hearing so that I can go to study.”
