The couple Vo Quoc Hen and Bui Thi Mai, both 32, in Can Loc District’s Thuan Thien Commune suffer from congenital deafness. They gave birth to their son Vo Minh Khang in 2020.
Hen and his son
The son was diagnosed with a hearing impairment at four months old. He could also face delayed speech.
Doctors said that the cochlear implant could help the boy to be able to hear and speak, but his family can’t afford the VND600,000 million (USD26,087) cost for the implant.
"There are ways to help our grandson to be normal like others of his age, but we’re too poor to afford the treatment," said the boy's grandfather.
Hen and his wife do not have a stable job, instead of being seasonal workers with a modest income.
According to doctors, the best time for the cochlear implant is between eight months and one year, but financial difficulties have prevented the couple from taking their 14-month-old son to hospital.
Le Sy Thai, chairman of Thuan Thien Commune, said that Hen’s family receives a subsidy of VND1.5 million (USD65) per month as a poor household in the locality. He hoped that donors could support them.
