Empowering Irha Through Cochlear Implant Surgery
Irha Abdul Wahab's Story
Irha, a one-year-old girl from Lahore, has been experiencing hearing loss since birth. Her parents discovered her condition when she turned one year old and immediately sought medical assistance. They took her to the nearest hospital, where after conducting diagnostic tests, the doctor recommended a cochlear implant surgery to restore her hearing.
Irha’s family resides in a two-marla house with three bedrooms in Lahore. Her father works a private job and earns a monthly income of 51,000 PKR. With this limited amount, he has to cover the daily expenses, grocery bills, utility bills, and education expenses for the family. Unfortunately, the financial burden leaves him unable to afford the surgical expenses required for Irha’s cochlear implant surgery.

With your support, she can experience the joys of sound and have a better quality of life. Your contributions, no matter how small, can make a world of difference to her and our family.”

Irha Abdul Wahab's Story
Irha, a one-year-old girl from Lahore, has been grappling with hearing loss since birth. Despite the early discovery of her condition at the age of one, her parents were faced with the daunting challenge of finding a solution. Determined to help their precious daughter, they sought medical assistance at the nearest hospital, where diagnostic tests revealed the need for life-changing cochlear implant surgery. However, the financial burden of the procedure seemed insurmountable for Irha's father, whose unstable financial situation left him unable to afford the costly surgery.
In this time of need, Transparent Hands stepped in after learning about Irha's situation. With our support, Irha was admitted to Evercare Hospital in Lahore, where Dr. Imran Saeed, a skilled surgeon, successfully installed the internal component of the cochlear implant on February 28, 2024. Just two days later, she was discharged from the hospital, her heart brimming with newfound hope.
Guided by the expertise of dedicated healthcare professionals and the generosity of compassionate donors, Irha embarked on a remarkable journey of rediscovery. Within six weeks, the external implant was installed, accompanied by scheduled speech therapy sessions that promised to unlock the wonders of sound once more.
Irha's journey extended beyond the mere act of hearing; it encompassed the discovery of her voice. Each therapy session became a transformative stepping stone, leading her towards mastering language and communication. With unwavering determination and the support of her dedicated therapists, Irha began to open doors to a world where her thoughts and feelings could be shared and understood. Through this incredible process, she fostered deeper connections and enriched her journey of self-discovery. Irha and her family extend their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate donors whose generosity has forever changed their lives.
