0:02 [Music] 0:05 a world without sound. For children like 0:08 Manashwit, that was once reality. Today, 0:11 His story sounds very different. Thanks 0:14 to Ashray Akriti supported by Optum. For 0:18 nearly three decades, they've been. 0:19 breaking the silence with free therapy, 0:22 special education, and rehabilitation. 0:25 But the path isn't the same for every. 0:28 child. For some, a hearing aid is. 0:30 enough. For others, the journey is much. 0:33 longer. That's where Maneshwit's story. 0:36 begins. 0:38 Cocklear implant isn't just a cure. It's 0:40 the start. Ahead of it, it's a long 0:43 journey of therapy and guided practice 0:46 where the child learns what sound means. 0:50 That's when voice becomes words and words 0:53 become learning. 0:55 That journey continues into school where 0:58 children learn not just to hear but to 1:01 understand, speak and to belong. 1:04 In class, no two children have same 1:06 hearing problem. So we use total 1:09 communication to communicate with them 1:11 like a sign language and oral method and 1:14 make the lessons connected. So with the 1:16 optimum support we are making the 1:19 classrooms more strong letting the 1:21 teachers to focus on what we are going 1:23 to explain to them. 1:25 Optum has stood beside Ashray as a force 1:29 for good in India for India opening 1:32 doors through residential care 1:35 screenings hearing aids and 1:37 life-changing cocklear implant 1:39 surgeries. 1:41 And now this mission is hitting the road. 1:44 because care doesn't wait, it arrives. 1:52 Every child needs to hear, learn and 1:56 thrive. Which is why the Ashray Akriti 2:00 mobile hearing van provides service. 2:03 directly to the communities enabling. 2:06 families to have access which they 2:08 otherwise, would never have had. 2:12 Because when a child hears, it's not. 2:14 just sound. It's laughter, learning, and 2:18 a life of possibilities. Together, we 2:21 can turn silence into possibility. One 2:24 child, one community, one mile at a 2:27 time.
