Musfira Bibi's Story

Musfira has been unable to hear properly for the last five years. She suffers from severe right ear pain and irregular discharge, which causes her a lot of discomfort. She awaits tympanoplasty, so donate as much as you can to ease her pain.

Musfira, a 13-year-old resident of Karachi, has been suffering from ear discharge and decreased hearing ability for the last five years. She went to some local doctors, and they gave her painkillers, but this treatment did not cure her disease. She went to an ENT specialist for consultation and underwent some diagnostic tests. After the evaluation, she was diagnosed with Bilateral Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM). Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is caused by perforation of the eardrum with persistent drainage from the middle ear. To treat this condition, the doctor advised her to undergo tympanoplasty. Tympanoplasty is a surgery to repair the eardrum. The eardrum is a thin layer of tissue that vibrates in response to sound. This procedure is crucial for Musfira, as her hearing ability is deteriorating drastically. Unfortunately, they are unable to afford this operation.

Her father is a labourer and earns just PKR 26,000 monthly, which is hardly enough to meet the basic needs of the family. With a family of seven members to support, it is impossible for him to bear the expense of this procedure. Musfira shared with us:

“I have been suffering from this pain for the last five years. Whenever I go to any gathering, I am embarrassed due to this ear discharge. It is causing me not only pain but also depression. Please help me through this dark period of my life.”

Now that her case has been registered with Transparent Hands, we have promised to help her get cured. This will only be possible with your assistance. Hence, we urge you to donate generously as Musfira awaits tympanoplasty.
