Murad Awaits Cochlear Implant Surgery

Murad Ali 's Story

A cochlear implant could completely transform Murad’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. Murad awaits cochlear implant surgery; therefore, we urge you to donate and give him the opportunity to function well in life. 

Five-year-old Murad, a resident of Swat, has been suffering from congenital sensorineural hearing loss. His parents noticed something was wrong when he was one year old and was not responding to their voices. His parents 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. The cochlear implant uses electrical stimulation of the cochlear nerve to restore hearing. 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.

He lives in a big family with twelve members. His father is the sole provider for the family and earns a monthly salary of PKR 30,000. Unfortunately, he cannot afford the surgery and is in dire need of financial assistance. His father expressed distress in the following words: 

Because of my inability to save up enough money for my child’s cochlear implant surgery, I am very concerned that he will miss out on many wonderful opportunities in life. “Please donate today so my child can get the medical treatment he needs .”

Someone informed his parents about Transparent Hands and the causes we support, and they contacted us for a financial gift. Now, all that is required of you is a small donation as Murad awaits cochlear implant surgery to allow him to live his life to the fullest.
