With your help, Vika has received new hearing aids. Sounds have become clear, and now she no longer needs to strain to hear or ask people to repeat themselves. With these 'ears,' studying and living have become much easier. Thank you!

When the old hearing aids started malfunctioning, Vika began to lose her hearing. She had problems at school and felt insecure in social situations. Everyday life also became more dangerous—on the street, she might not react to the sound of an approaching car. Her mother was afraid that Vika would regress in her pronunciation, which had taken so much effort to develop.

"I thank everyone who helped us," says Aleksandra. "With the new hearing aids, my daughter has a completely different quality of life. She is absolutely delighted! Now she can adjust the sound herself depending on the situation. For example, if she is riding in noisy public transport, she can focus on her companion's voice against the background noise. Now she can even hear a whisper, which was impossible before."

Vika has started fifth grade. The transition to middle school is always exciting—there are many new teachers, and the curriculum becomes more challenging. With her new 'digital ears,' Vika is not afraid of difficulties. She has everything she needs to fully absorb the material, communicate with teachers, and feel confident among her peers. Thank you for giving her more sound and courage!

About the campaign

To learn and communicate, Vika needs new hearing aids

The old devices that the girl has been wearing for more than four years no longer "pull" - their power is not enough for Vika to fully perceive the spoken speech and surrounding sounds. This can lead to developmental delays, socialization disorders, and is simply dangerous, because at some point Vika may simply not hear the signal of an approaching car.

A good student with excellent math skills, a participant in Olympiads, Vika finishes every academic year with diplomas and diplomas. But now the teachers began to pay attention – the teenager may not immediately react to their words. "Moved out" in Russian and literature. Mom sees that Vika has begun to misunderstand. And if nothing is done, a rollback may occur: the girl has been wearing the devices since she was 4 years old, speaks well, and has a lot of friends, but if you don't change them, her sound perception will be disrupted, and her pronunciation may "float" behind it. Vika's mother, who is raising two children alone, is afraid that all the successes for which Vika has been working with specialists and undergoing rehabilitation courses all these years may melt away. To prevent this from happening, we are needed.
