Hello Nairalanders, I am sharing a post from my friends facebook post. We attended our Masters Programme together. Her son Benjamin Oluwafolajimi TOLA whos is just two years old is in dare need of surgery for a hearing impairment condition known as Severe to Profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL).

The hearing test results indicate that he can only hear less than 20 percent of what is optimal for him and this is the reason he has not been able to achieve meaningful speech at two years old.

The only treatment requires that he undergoes an operation at the Department of ENT, National Hospital Abuja, Nigeria, to have the Bilateral Cochlear Implant inserted to enable him Hear and subsequently achieve Speech. The ENT Consultant doctor has advised that this procedure must be carried out compulsorily latest by January, 2018.

The cost of the operation is 11.3 Million Naira (about 32,000 US Dollars). This sum is too huge for her very young conjugal family and immediate extended family to raise. We would appreciate every bit you can give as your little drops will make an ocean for her baby.

A gofundme account has been set up for that purpose. Here is her mother's post on facebook

(Please help share.Thank you.)

Any medical document required as a proof will be provided by Benjamin's mum (Tola Oluwatomilayo) and dad (Tola Monday).

I and other friends of her mum have started little contribution to support a campaign for Benjamin. We plan to post his banner on some well known platforms that can help propagate this cause. Your suggestions on this forum are welcomed.

I saw it on LinkedIn on a friend's page. I was moved. I pray Nigerians help, and I pray God steps in for this boy. He must not go deaf.

I pray so too. Thanks a lot for your support.

I have also attached the available medical report obtained from National Hospital Abuja to that effect. Well meaning Nairalanders and moderators, see to it that this topic gets to the front page.

I hope a kind moderator will notice this and help. Thanks

This little soul, God will take control

Same issue am facing with my hearing loss. I pray that a helper shall locate him.

Being deaf isn't new or the end of his life. I suggest he should be introduce to the deaf community and he should start learning sign language.

Thanks very much. That is a nice suggestion and I will relay the message to the boy's parent.

Dear nairalanders, please help Benjamin Tola regain his hearing back likewise speech as he can only learn to speak once he can hear properly....he is just 2 years old and he is the son of a dear friend. Please help raise fund for the cochlear implant and God will bless you as you do so.

True. But they will crucify you for this. I'm deaf on a ear too.

cochlear implant is very risky.. Statistically 70% of them ends up of being mental retard because the device will be inserted inner skull, very closer to the brain.. Go to YouTube and watch the video..
