Ингээд Ахмед сонсдог боллоо

by Dawn Doig, Донн хүүдээ

Ahmed is a little boy who spends his days with his family doing things he enjoys like going to the park and swimming in the ocean. Although he seems to be a typical two year old, mama has concerns that he may not be hearing. So off they go to the doctor and eventually to the audiologist who diagnoses a hearing loss. Fit with hearing aids, Ahmed is now able to enjoy the sounds of life. And So Ahmed Hears was written to increase public awareness about childhood hearing loss and to help alleviate some of the stigma associated with it.

About the author

After successfully completing a Master of Science degree in Audiology, I spent 23 years working as a clinical audiologist in different parts of Canada, Kuwait, England and Saudi Arabia. In 2015, I completed a Master of Education degree and am now the English Language Learners coordinator at the American School of Yaounde in Yaounde, Cameroon. I love working with children, whether it be through helping them to hear or through helping them to become proficient at reading, writing, and speaking English. I have been blessed to have had two very rewarding careers. In my spare time, I love to bake, travel, and write children's books. I get my inspiration for my stories from my own life experiences, people I meet, children I work with, and the very special furry friends I hold dear in my heart.

[D. Peach · Rating 5 out of 5]

A young boy doesn’t sing or talk or hear the roar of the sea, shouts of warning, or his mother’s call. Concerned, his mother takes him to the doctor and audiologist. Fitted with hearing aids, he gets to hear the sounds that he’d missed before.

A beautifully illustrated children’s book for young children with hearing aids or interacting with hearing-impaired people, especially peers. A simple story about diversity and acceptance.

"I like that Ahmed was happy before and then he was even more happy when he had the hearing device"

The intention behind this book is good but in my experience, kids don't wear hearing aids at the beach, and hearing aids can't amplify the faint sound inside a seashell.
