Makkah, (IINA) - A mute teenage girl in Saudi Arabia has recently got her voice back at King Abdullah Medical City after five years of being mute, Arab News reported.
The girl, who did not want to reveal her name, said that the story of her voice loss dated back to 2011 when she had influenza. She indicated that several doctors told her that she would not regain her voice, adding that she could not believe influenza could lead to losing her voice.
“I went to a number of hospitals and clinics in Makkah, Jeddah and Madinah; however, this proved futile. Then I was moved to King Abdullah Medical City as I had pain in my ears”.
Dr. Ali Abul Oyoon, a consultant of speech medicine, said that the girl was referred to the speech and voice clinic, where it was detected that she had lost her voice without any reason. Therefore, immediate efforts to make her voice return began through speech therapy sessions. A number of sessions were held for four hours, and an innovative method was used during these seasons.
Dr. Osama Mirghalani, a consultant and head of the ear, nose and throat department at King Abdullah Medical City, said the facility has highly skilled medical cadres that give the best medical services and diagnoses of the highest quality.
Abdullah Ghabbashi, executive director general of the medical city, said that restoring the girl’s voice after five years “has proved that our medical services were improving and developing with the help of the medical cadres available here, the support of the Ministry of Health and the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman”.
