Ayman (not his real name) is a young Syrian refugee who resides in Azraq Camp, Jordan with his mother and baby sister. One challenge they face is that Ayman, along with his sister, both suffer from hearing disabilities. This has added to the great financial and emotional struggles of Ayman’s mother, who tries her best to provide for her children in very difficult circumstances.
“I used to feel constantly stressed because my son couldn’t keep wearing his hearing aids due to frequent breakdowns,” Ayman’s mother said. “Every time they stopped working, it took a long time to find someone who could fix them.”
But when she heard about IOCC’s ear clinic at Azraq Camp from her neighbors, she rushed Ayman there. At the clinic, IOCC’s specialists were able to evaluate his condition and provide him with new hearing aids, new batteries, tubes, and humidity suction. His sister is also on the waiting list to receive care.
Ayman’s mother is extraordinarily grateful: “After regular maintenance to his hearing aids, Ayman’s speech has improved a lot, and he can now say many words and sentences. I’m so happy and so proud of him.”
