This Fund was established to assist the approximately
800,000 children in Mainland China who suffer
from deafness. There have been recent advances
in deafness rehabilitation.
The Cochlear Implant, an electronic device that
is surgically implanted into the inner ear, is
able to restore most of the hearing loss to children
who are born deaf.
The Children's Hearing Fund will evaluate children,
provide the cochlear implant surgery, and the
speech therapy that is necessary after the operation.
Every year, the Fund helps to restore the gift
of sound to around 20 children.
