KDSF KLANG - Hearing Test @ 14th October 2024

News from Kiwanis Klang

Description

First of all, many thanks to our dear Dato’ Stewart La Brooy for his visit during the hearing test, meeting the person in charge Ms. Nur Aisyah Nadjwa.
Ms. Nur Aisyah Nadjwa, a post graduate student (Master’s) doing her research study titled “Investigating Middle ear Function and its Effects on Real-Ear-To-Coupler Difference (RECD) Measurement Among Children with Down Syndrome (DS).
2.  Most Children with Down Syndrome (DS) have ear anatomy that differs from typically developing children. These differences increase their risk of ear infections. If left untreated, these infections can lead to hearing problems, either temporary or permanent. Hearing aids (HA) are one intervention for patients experiencing hearing issues.
3.  Considering this need, RECD is a test to measure the level of sound pressure within the ear canal, which assists in ensuring that HA is in optimal condition. Due to the different anatomy of children with DS, the existing RECD norms are not suitable for use. Therefore, this study aims to examine the difference in middle ear function among children with DS and their impact on RECD measurements.
4.  To achieve the objectives of this study, several non-invasive procedures that are common practice in Audiology clinics were conducted at the centre. 14 of the children are taking part. Here is some of the photos.

Flood Relief Drive21 Jan 254Taman Tun Dr. Ismail

Flood Relief Drive

Our representative Dato' Fatimah Saad was part of the Flood Relief efforts and personally went to deliver the essential supplies. Here's a write up below from Dato'.  I was incredibly fortunate to lead the recent Flood Relief Drive organized by the National Council of Women's Organizations (NCWO). Today, we successfully delivered 68 boxes of essential supplies to flood victims in Kota Tinggi, Johor, through the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA). We're also planning to deliver more boxes to those affected in Pahang later this week. These boxes contain vital items like diapers, sanitary napkins, detergents, headscarves (tudung), underwear for women, and hygiene kits. All of this was made possible thanks to the incredible generosity of individuals, companies, and other non-profit organizations who donated to our cause. A special thank you to KCTTDI for their generous cash donation."

Kiwanis Club Of Klang&amp;#039;s Christmas Party At Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah22 Dec 2410Klang

Kiwanis Club Of Klang's Christmas Party At Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah

The warm spirit of the holiday season once again brought us to our annual Christmas visit to the Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah in Klang. This tradition has become an essential part of our holiday celebrations, where we aim to spread joy and hope to the pediatric patients and staff during this festive time. This year will be a special year as we have 11 Taiwan district Kiwanians joining us the visit. It is an honour to have the Governor of Taiwan district and our Governor of Malaysia district to assist us in this event. As we entered the hospital, we were greeted by the Head Nurse Sister Matron Anne, she has done a fantastic arrangement by getting the hospital security to usher the bus of our Taiwan delegates into the hospital and getting her nurses to arrange and allocate the presents to the wards. While we were entering the ward, there stands a beautiful Christmas tree filled with beautiful twinkling lights and festive decorations that adorned the hallways. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement. As we walk in to the pediatric wards, we see children faces lit up with smiles as we handed out the gifts. The joy and laughter that filled the room were truly heart-warming. Some of us had a casual chat with the parents who were spending the holidays in the hospital taking care of the child. We shared stories and offered words of encouragement. It was touching to see how our presence brought a sense of comfort and companionship to those who needed it the most. The staff members, who work tirelessly to provide care and support, were also not forgotten. We made sure to express our gratitude for their dedication and hard work throughout the year by giving them some nice chocolates. As we concluded our visit, we couldn't help but reflect on the importance of giving back to the community. This annual tradition reminds us of the power of compassion and the difference we can make in the lives of others. It's not just about the gifts or the festivities, but about the connections we forge and the hope we bring. We look forward to continuing this cherished tradition in the years to come, knowing that our small acts of kindness can create lasting impacts. Merry Christmas to all, and may the spirit of the season continue to inspire us to spread love and joy wherever we go.
