Marwan Awaits Cochlear Implant Surgery

Muhammad Marwan Marwan's Story

A cochlear implant could completely transform Marwan’s life. He will not be able to hear the world, which will hinder his education and social development. His silence has shattered his family. Marwan awaits cochlear implant surgery; therefore, we urge you to donate and give him the opportunity to function well in life.

Five-year-old Marwan, a resident of Malakand, has been suffering from congenital sensorineural hearing loss. His parents first noticed something was wrong when he was one year old and wasn’t responding to their voices. They took him to the local hospital, where his tests were done. Upon consultation, he was diagnosed with sensorineural deafness. The doctor advised him to undergo cochlear implant surgery. To restore hearing, a cochlear implant uses electrical stimulation of the cochlear nerve. There are external and internal components to the implant. The external part is attached behind the ear. It processes the sounds with a microphone before sending them to the implant inside the ear.

Marwan lives in a big family of seven members. His father is the sole provider for the family and earns a monthly salary of PKR 15,000. Unfortunately, he cannot afford the surgery and is in dire need of financial assistance. His father expressed distress in the following words:

“I worry that my child will miss out on so many great opportunities in life because I can’t afford the cochlear implant surgery. Your donations can make a life-changing difference in my child’s future. Please donate today to help us get the medical treatment he needs.”

Marwan’s parents learned about Transparent Hands and the causes it supports, and they reached out to us for help. Now, we kindly ask for your support with a small donation as Marwan eagerly awaits cochlear implant surgery. Your contribution will enable him to embrace life to the fullest.
