"This was a real shock to us," she said. The parents moved between cities and governorates to see as many physicians as possible. They left their home in Dakahlia governorate and headed to Cairo before relocating once again in Alexandria. 4 years later, the kid underwent a successsful Cochlear implant, after which he had to go through a lengthy process of gaining converstaional skills.

The mother recalled her kid's love to enter the kitchen and that he could learn there few words. "He is keen to cook meals by himself and also very amazing desserts," she added.
She said: "He surprised me at once, when he asked me to take photos for him while he was making pizza, as he was imitating the chefs on Tv… He liked it to much that I have made a fan page for him on facebook with the name 'Chef Yassin Mahmous', now is followed by thousands.
Yassin's parents' belief in him and their insistence on fighting for him and overcoming all difficulties for a better future for him paid off, as their little kid was honored on more than one occasion for his participation and interaction.
