Please Help 4 Year Old Miron. He has hearing loss on both sides. He needs two surgeries to restore his hearing.

On Both Sides Miron is the middle child in our family. His older sister and younger brother are healthy, but Miron was born with underdeveloped outer ears and has no ear canals. The maternity hospital discharged us with a recommendation to be seen by an audiologist. Otherwise our son was absolutely healthy. A month later, in one Moscow hospital, Miron was diagnosed with "bilateral conductive hearing loss." Because of this developmental defect, our son does not distinguish sounds, like healthy people do, through the auditory canal. Sound passes through the bones of his skull – and it is quite weak. Hearing aids using bone conduction, where the vibrations transmit sound directly to his auditory nerve, help Miron to hear. But the doctors warn that with age, the bones become denser and the sound does not pass through them, which means that Miron will not be able to hear at all! Evgenia Kravchenko, Moscow Region.
