Muhammad Hassan Awaits Cochlear Implant Surgery

Muhammad Hassan's Story

Muhammad Hassan, a 2-year-old boy from Lahore, is unable to hear the sounds around him. He has never heard his parents and loved ones’ soothing voices. Other children respond to noisy toys, but Hassan is unable to do so. Concerned about his condition, his parents took him to a nearby hospital and received a consultation from a doctor. After performing a comprehensive examination, the doctor diagnosed him with congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and advised cochlear implant surgery. However, the surgical cost was beyond his family’s financial means.

The sooner Hassan receives the cochlear implant, the better his chances of speech and language development which are important at his age. If he doesn’t undergo the surgery on time, he might not be able to develop the ability to hear and speak.

Hassan lives in a modest rented house with his ten family members. His father is a police employee with a modest monthly income. Hassan’s parents long to give him a bright future and a world filled with sounds. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery is overwhelming and they can’t afford to pay for it. During this time of need, Hassan’s family reached out to Transparent Hands and asked us for assistance.

Hassan’s parents said in grief:

“Our son is unable to hear us and it breaks our heart when we see him in this situation. We wish for the day when he would communicate with us like his other siblings. We feel helpless as we can’t pay for his surgery. Please support Hassan in undergoing the surgery.”

Hassan’s life will change if he gets the surgery soon. By receiving this cochlear implant, he will be able to hear and identify different kinds of sounds and distinguish voices which he is unable to do right now.

Hassan needs your support in undergoing this surgery. We ask you to please contribute for his life-changing surgery. Your generosity can have a meaningful impact on his life.

Please Note: In certain situations, we proceed with the patient's surgery/medical procedure despite incomplete funding displayed on the website. 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.

Muhammad Hassan's Story

Muhammad Hassan Fawwad Sadiq, a 2-year-old boy from Lahore, had been unable to hear since birth. His parents noticed his inability to hear and took him to a doctor, who diagnosed him with sensorineural hearing loss after running some diagnostic tests. The doctor told his parents that Hassan needed cochlear implant surgery to hear.

Unfortunately, his parents couldn’t afford the expenses of the surgery. His father is a police officer, and the family lives in a modest home with 10 family members. With a monthly rent of PKR 25,000 and many other household expenses, they were unable to afford the expense treatment. Hassan’s family contacted Transparent Hands to seek assistance. We immediately processed Hassan’s case.

On November 21, 2024, Hassan was admitted to Evercare Hospital, Lahore, where he successfully underwent cochlear implant surgery surgery. Dr. Imran Saeed expertly inserted the internal component of the cochlear implant. After receiving essential post-operative care, Hassan was discharged on November 22, 2024.

In 6 to 8 weeks, the external component of the cochlear implant will be installed, marking the next step in Hassan’s journey toward hearing and communication. Following the installation, he will begin attending speech therapy sessions to develop language and communication skills.

Hassan’s parents are extremely happy with his progress. They are optimistic about his future and know that he will have the opportunity to learn like other children.

His family said, “We’re relieved and excited because Hassan’s future has been secured. Our hearts are filled with gratitude. Your support has changed Hassan’s life.”

Hassan’s family is thankful and looks forward to seeing him active and full of life. Your kindness has given the family hope, happiness, and optimism.
