A sudden darting of his eyes around the room and the movement of his hand towards his right ear was the only give away sign from Ibrahim that he had heard sound for the first time in his two years of life.
And this exactly was the priceless reaction that his parents and audiologist had patiently been waiting for a long time.
On Tuesday, the cochlear implant device that was fit in Ibrahim's ear three weeks ago was activated for the first time at hearLIFE Clinic at Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC).
The sights and sounds of this precious moment were witnessed and captured by Khaleej Times.
Father calls for compulsory hearing test No parent can bear hearing impairments of their tiny-tots. And what if two children were born with same problem? Is there any solution? Rashid Ali Khan KaimKhani, father of two-year-old Ibrahim, has something to suggest. Rashid's elder daughter, 14, too was born with hearing issues but has been using a hearing aid. She also has been implanted with a cochlear device recently. According to Rashid Ali Khan, if there is a hearing test compulsory for newborns, treatment can be started earlier. He urged the health authorities in the UAE to consider compulsory hearing test for newborns. |
