Budi Outreach Mission to Cambodia (BUMICA) 2017


BUMICA or known as Budi Outreach Mission to Cambodia is one of the humanitarian mission organised by IIUM Kuantan Campus from the 20th March until 26th March 2017. This is our 1st social mission outside of Malaysia

This community engagement project is a collaboration between several popular healthcare institutions in Malaysia and Eartistic is one of the privileged once. There were 77 students and staff volunteers involved in this mission. 

Eartistic Hearing and Balance Centre were involved by loaning our audio logical equipment and donated a collective of RM 64 000 worth of Hearing Aids to this mission. On behalf of the company, Fatihah Othman our Nurse from Eartistic TTDI represented us to complete the mission by providing ear toilet and hearing screening to the children.

On the first day, we arrived at Kampung Ou Ta Nes to set up the place for hearing screening. But the mission properly began, the second day. The drill were history taking, otoscopic examination, middle ear test, pure tone audiometry assessment and ear toilet procedures were carried out throughout the programme. Hearing aid fitting was done to those with hearing loss and we were delighted to see many happy tears from our give aways, MashaALLAH.

On the third day, we continued our mission to Kampung Chnnang.

Alhamdulillah, we finished our mission with satisfaction and amazing results with almost 100 people in two villages participated in the hearing screening. At least 5 people ( 9 units of hearing aids) received  from our donation of hearing aids. 

With that, we would like to thank IIUM for this opportunity and we hope that we can participate in more humanitarian events in future. May this be just the beginning of many beautiful missions to help the people who are in need of hearing and communication attention across the world.

Keeping Hearing Devices on your Little Ones

As a parent to a child using hearing aids or cochlear implant, it is very important to make sure your child uses his/her hearing devices as maximum possible during their waking hours. Allowing them not to wear hearing devices at certain times for example after school or on weekends, gives them the idea that hearing and listening are only needed for school. This is absolutely incorrect because we know that different environments provide different sound and speech inputs to your child. The more sounds and speech inputs they get, the more they can develop their speech and language abilities.


Tasnim Hazizan, Audiologist

Although some children would adjust quite easily to their hearing devices, it could be difficult for some other children. Often parents complained of the struggles they faced to maintain the hearing devices on their child. This could lead to frustration and eventually causes parents to give way to their child not using their hearing devices.
