According to the post, the seven-year-old girl is named Nestayha and she belongs to Wajir in Kenya. The girl lost her ability to hear as a result of a sickness which caused her eardrums to rupture. In the short clip shared on the social media platform, Nestayha is seen sitting on a chair as a man wearing a doctor's torch on his head adjusts the hearing aid to properly for her ears. As soon as he sets up the device, the doctor claps to check whether the seven-year-old can hear the sounds around or not. Nestayha turns around, looks at the surroundings and then understands the source of the sound. Within seconds, she realises she is able to hear.

The little girl gets emotional and is not able to believe that she has gained her hearing back. Nestayha breaks into tears and covers her face with her hands.
