Every now and again all of us probably come across something dreadful and realise that we can, and should, be doing what we can to help – even if it takes us a long way from our relatively safe and secure lives.
So it was that Leightons HearingCare came to support All Ears Cambodia, a charity providing a unique medical service in a country torn by years of war. During the genocidal regime of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, over 90% of doctors were executed, died or left the country. Now, two million Khmers suffer from deafness, largely due to exploding land mines, and half of them are children. Most live in rural areas and in some villages chronic ear disease is so widespread it is regarded as normal; over half of these cases could have been prevented.
The All Ears Clinic in Phnom Penh is open every weekday and provides healthcare and audiology services, which includes the fitting of hearing aids for anyone in need of help. All Ears also works in hospitals and special clinics and through its Outreach programme. Through its Education Programme it provides training for student clinicians and a range of educational materials for the general public.Charitable donations of hearing aids are greatly received and can really help to change a life.
Hearing is so fundamental, that we often take it for granted - forgetting, for example, that it is the means by which we develop speech and language needed to communicate our thoughts and ideas. So by helping to support All Ears Cambodia with hearing aids, digital hearing aids and hearing aid batteries, Leightons hopes to make a small difference to some of the hardest hit. If you would like to know more, please go to www.allearscambodia.org.
If you wish to help All Ears Cambodia by donating old hearing aids or digital hearing aids that are no longer being used, or if you wish to know more please contact Leightons on 01252 823400.
