A Life Rekindled: Marion’s Triumph Over Hearing Loss

At just 25 years old, Marion Wambui has experienced a world of sound and silence that many of us may never know. Born with hearing challenges, Marion could only hear a little until her life took a sudden turn in February last year, when she completely lost her hearing. For months, the world around her was silenced, until in April this year , she regained partial hearing, only for it to disappear once again just two weeks ago. Devastated and overwhelmed, Marion was referred to our Hospital. Hearing tests revealed her hearing levels were very low, but this time there was hope. She got hearing aids. Yesterday, as she was fitted with her hearing aids, Marion felt an overwhelming rush of emotions - as she could finally hear after two weeks of silence. Marion’s joy wasn’t just about hearing again. For her, it was a renewal of hope—a chance to live her life fully. She will no longer rely on lip-reading or asking people to repeat themselves. She is grateful for the compassionate care she has received from us, calling it “the best service.” The support she found gave her confidence to move forward, but more than that, it gave her a new outlook on life with a hearing concern. Before this moment, Marion felt the weight of her condition in every job opportunity she missed having certification in finance. “I lost so many job opportunities because of my condition. It really hurt,” she shared. But now, with her hearing restored, she’s ready to go after her goals. "I can’t wait to walk into interviews, hear the questions clearly, and answer with confidence." Her journey has also led her to an important realization—acceptance. “As a start, you have to accept your condition, have faith, and embrace the tools that can help, like learning sign language. It’s made a big difference in my life,” she advises. Marion’s passion now extends beyond her own story. She wants to become a beacon of hope for others facing similar challenges, motivating them to keep going and showing them that there’s always a way forward. “I want to help others like me know that it’s okay, and that there’s always hope. If I can do it, they can too,” she said, her face glowing with determination. Marion is not just hearing again; she’s ready to live her life fully and confidently - shining brightly in the finance world! #ImpactingLives #CompassionateHealthcare
