Good day everyone.

My name is Betesda Mostert, and my daughter is Diantè Amanda Mostert. She is 12 years old and has been struggling with her ears. At 4 years old, she had bacterial meningitis, and at age 7, she underwent a tympanoplasty operation. She has faced difficulties in school since grade 2.

In 2019, I informed the doctors at Tygerberg Hospital about her hearing struggles, and she was referred to Groote Schuur Hospital for audiology, but the appointment was canceled. In 2022, she underwent audiology tests at Groote Schuur Hospital, revealing issues like binaural interaction, temporal patterning, frequency and tone patterning, dichotic listening, and monaural low redundancy, all below the expected levels.

Diantè needs a device to aid her learning and hearing, as she also suffers from hearing loss in both ears, ADHD, anxiety, and chronic spontaneous urticaria. She just wants to live a normal life like everyone else and not be bullied by teachers or other children. Jan Kriel School denied her application due to her low IQ and word abilities.

Having this device is crucial for her independence and safety, as she struggles to locate sound sources. I ask everyone to open their hearts and help her receive the FM stereo she needs. Your support would greatly impact her life and education. Thank you for listening and for your support.

Let's help Diantè hear in difficult situations and improve her reading and writing skills. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
