Lost Hearing and Caring for Elderly Parents: Sibu Chinese Woman Seeks Assistance for Cochlear Implant
A single woman Chung Hsiao Yen from Sibu has completely lost her hearing and needs to take care of her elderly parents. She is in desperate need of a cochlear implant surgery. The CCEP Foundation appeals to kind-hearted individuals from all sectors to extend a helping hand and assist Chung in overcoming this challenging situation.
Due to Chung’s hearing condition, hearing aids are no longer effective in assisting her hearing. The only solution is to undergo a cochlear implant surgery. However, her impoverished financial situation makes it impossible for her to afford the expensive cost of a cochlear implant.
After receiving the request for assistance last week, the CCEP Foundation immediately conducted an investigation into the situation of the Chung family. Today, Ms Yvonne, the CEO of the foundation, arrived in Sibu and visited the Chung residence to conduct a fundraising activity for the family.
Ms. Chung Hsiao Yen, aged 51, is unemployed. She experienced a decline in her hearing at a young age and has been wearing hearing aids since then.
However, in December of last year, she discovered that even with the assistance of hearing aids, she could no longer hear external sounds. After a medical examination, it was determined that she had completely lost her hearing. The only way to assist her in hearing sounds, as assessed by doctors, is through a cochlear implant surgery.
In addition to the surgical costs, the price of a cochlear implant alone is extremely high, amounting to at least 72,000 Malaysian Ringgit. This exorbitant price far exceeds the financial capacity of the Chung family. However, Ms. Chung needs to take care of her disabled mother and elderly father, and the inability to hear sounds would greatly impact her ability to do so.
Not long ago, her elderly father had a fall in the living room during the night. Due to her complete hearing loss, Ms. Chung couldn’t hear her father’s fall or his cries for help until the next morning when she discovered him injured and lying on the living room floor.
Afterward, her father was rushed to the hospital and received several stitches on his head. Fortunately, the accident was not too severe.
A cochlear implant is a medical device used to assist individuals with severe hearing loss or deafness in restoring their auditory function. It is an electronic device that directly stimulates the auditory nerve to transmit sound signals to the patient’s brain, providing auditory perception.
For the Ms Chung, who needs to take care of their elderly parents, restoring auditory function is highly urgent. However, due to their inability to afford the expensive medical device, they sought assistance from the CCEP Foundation, hoping for good news.
The mission of the CCEP Foundation is to provide food supplies to impoverished families and assist underprivileged patients in applying for medical aid. They distribute monthly food rations to impoverished families, especially single-parent households.
The foundation seeks medical advice and assists in the application for surgical and medical expenses for patients in need. They also provide necessary aids to critically ill patients and assist the elderly in applying for welfare assistance. They provide consultation services for individuals in need or for deceased individuals applying for social insurance.
Ms Yvonne Yee, the CEO of foundation, stated that the foundation would raise funds for Ms. Chung to acquire the cochlear implant medical device. Therefore, he appealed to kind-hearted individuals from all walks of life to generously contribute and lend a helping hand to Ms. Chung.

失去听力还要照顾年迈双亲 诗巫华裔女需各界援助植耳蜗
（诗巫12日讯）单身女钟小燕，完全失去听力，需要照顾年迈父母亲的她极需要进行人工耳蜗植入手术，CCEP扶贫基金会希望各界善心人士伸出援手，协助钟氏渡过难关。
因为钟氏的听力情况，助听器已经无法协助她的听力，唯一的途径只有接受人工耳蜗植入手术。基于她的家境情况清寒，无法负担得起昂贵的人工耳蜗的费用。
CCEP扶贫基金会于上周接获此项寻求援助申请后，马上对钟氏家庭情况进行考察，该基金会总执行长余宝枟今日也飞抵诗巫，前往钟氏住处进行拜访，并为钟氏进行是项筹款活动。
钟小燕，现年51岁，无业。她在年轻时发现听力下降，后来就需要佩戴助听器。
但在去年12月的时候发现就连着助听器也无法协助她听见外面的声音，经医生检查后发现她已完全失去听力。经过医生评估后，唯一可以协助她听到声音的方式，就只能进行人工耳蜗植入手术。
除了手术费之外，单单人工耳蜗这个医疗器械的价格就非常的昂贵，一边价格就需要至少7万2000令吉。这个昂贵的价格已大大超出了钟氏家人能负担的范围，但她需要照顾失去行动能力的母亲和年迈父亲，如果完全听不见声音，影响甚大。
前不久，年迈的父亲因为夜晚在客厅处跌倒，钟氏因为听力完全受损，根本听不见父亲跌倒和求救声，直到隔天早上才发现，头部受伤的父亲倒在客厅的地板上。
事后，老父亲被送往医院，在头部缝了好几针，所幸没有发生太严重的事故。
对于需要照顾家里两老的钟氏，恢复听觉功能是非常迫切的，但由于完全无法负担得起该昂贵的医疗器械，最终在医生的介绍下，其家人向扶贫基金会求助，希望能为她捎来好消息。
CCEP扶贫基金会的宗旨是提供贫困家庭粮食，协助贫病患申请医药援助。每个月固定发放食物干粮予贫困家庭，尤其是单亲家庭。
该基金会为患病者寻求医疗咨询及协助申请手术费医疗费等。同时也为特别贫病患者提供需要的辅助品；协助长者申请福利援助金，咨询有关需要人士或已故者申请社险等。
总执行长余宝_表示，该基金会会为钟氏进行筹款，以筹获购买人工耳蜗的医疗器械。因此，她呼吁各界善心人士能慷慨解囊，对钟氏伸出援手。
