Donate for Eshal’s Cochlear Implant Surgery
Eshal D/O Bilal's Story
Eshal was born deaf and has never been able to hear. The tragedy is that she cannot respond to her name or recognise her parents’ voices, despite her beautiful name. However, her parents are unable to pay for the cochlear implant surgery she needs to regain her hearing. We request that you donate for Eshal’s cochlear implant surgery and help us introduce her to the world of sounds. It is only possible with your financial gift.
Three-year-old Eshal, a resident of Swabi, has been suffering from hearing impairment since birth. When she was a year old, her parents noticed that she did not respond to their voices. Her parents took her to the local hospital, where her tests were done. Upon consultation, she was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss. The doctor advised her to undergo cochlear implant surgery. A cochlear implant is a small electronic device that sends electrical signals to stimulate the cochlear nerve (the nerve for hearing). The implant has internal and external components. The external part picks up sounds with a microphone. Then, it processes the sound and transmits it to the internal part of the implant.
She lives with her parents and one sibling. Her father is a daily wager and earns PKR 20,000 per month. He is struggling to make ends meet. It is not possible for him to pay for the surgery with his limited income. He said it in a depressed tone:
“When the doctor told us our daughter had hearing loss, everything changed. I worry about how her life will be without surgery. Please donate today to help us.”
Upon learning about Transparent Hands from a family friend, Eshal’s parents wasted no time in reaching out and registering her case. The desire to witness the day when Eshal can hear her parents’ voices resonates deeply within their hearts. Yet, to turn this cherished dream into reality, we rely on the compassionate contributions of individuals like you. We humbly urge you to donate towards Eshal’s cochlear implant surgery, a gesture that has the power to enhance the very essence of her existence and elevate the quality of her life. Discover the deserving patients of cochlear implant surgeries.

Your Support Enabled Eshal's Journey to Hearing
17 Jan 2024
Three-year-old Eshal, a resident of Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has known a world of silence since birth due to congenital hearing loss. Her family noticed her lack of response to sounds, prompting medical evaluations that confirmed this lifelong challenge. For Eshal, the possibility of hearing rested upon cochlear implant surgery. Yet, financial constraints created a barrier, preventing her family from accessing this crucial treatment.
Amid this challenge, Eshal’s case found its way to Transparent Hands. Through the incredible generosity of donors, a ray of hope emerged for her. This support made it possible for Eshal to undergo life-altering cochlear implant surgery at Ali Medical Complex, Islamabad, on 10 October 2023. Dr. Jawwad Ahmed expertly performed the surgery, installing the internal implant. Her discharge the following day marked the beginning of her journey towards hearing restoration.
Eshal embarked on a gradual path towards sound. With the scheduled installation of the external implant in six weeks, alongside planned speech therapy sessions, she anticipates reintroduction to the world of sound and language.
Guided by Dr. Jawwad Ahmed’s expertise and the promise of an external implant along with subsequent speech therapy, Eshal stands on the verge of rediscovering the joy of sound. The financial accessibility of this life-altering surgery, made possible by the compassion of donors, signifies a transformative moment in Eshal’s life—a step towards embracing a world filled with the beauty of sound, offering renewed avenues for connection, communication, and learning.

Following the surgery/medical procedure, we persist in collecting funds and maintain the campaign on the website until funding is secured in full. Hospitals have granted us a grace period for bill payment.
