Open the World of Sounds for Muhammad Nadeem

Muhammad Nadeem's Story

Muhammad Nadeem, a 3-year-old boy from Pakpattan, has been unable to hear and experience his surroundings like other children since birth. When Nadeem’s parents noticed that he wasn’t responding to sounds, they took him to an audiologist. He was diagnosed with congenital sensorineural hearing loss after a thorough evaluation and some tests. Nadeem usually remains quiet and often doesn’t interact with other people. He misses out on the comforting sounds of his parents’ voices, and the laughter of other children. The doctor advised cochlear implant surgery that would open the doors to the world of sounds for him.

Nadeem’s life has been significantly affected by his congenital deafness. His condition has delayed his speech development and he struggles to communicate with others. Nadeem lives in a 3-marla rented house with his eight family members. His father, the sole breadwinner in the family, works as a police officer and earns a modest income of PKR 45,000 per month. This income is barely enough to cover the house rent of PKR 12000, utility bills, and basic living expenses of the family. The cost of cochlear implant surgery, a crucial procedure that would restore Nadeem’s ability to hear, is beyond their financial means.

A neighbor told them about Transparent Hands and they promptly contacted us and asked for help.

Nadeem’s family said with overwhelming sadness:

“We just want Nadeem to hear us when we’re talking to him. We dream of the day he can communicate with other kids without struggling and experience the world as he should. Our limited resources have no room to pay for his surgery. We desperately need your help.”

Muhammad Nadeem's Story

Muhammad Nadeem, a 3-year-old boy from Pakpattan, had been living in a silent world since birth. Nadeem had never heard his parents’ soothing voices and the laughter of other children. He was unable to enjoy the precious moments of his childhood. Upon noticing his unresponsiveness to sounds, Nadeem’s parents took him to a local hospital and received consultation from a doctor. After running some medical tests, the doctor diagnosed Nadeem with congenital Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL) and recommended cochlear implant surgery. Unfortunately, his parents were unable to pay for his surgery.

This surgery was necessary for Nadeem to develop the ability to hear and speak but financial limitations came in the way. Nadeem lived in a modest rented house with his eight family members. His father, the sole breadwinner in the family, worked as a police employee and earned just PKR 45,000 per month. With this modest monthly income, they hardly managed to cover household expenses. Nadeem’s much-needed surgery was expensive and his family couldn’t afford to pay for it, leaving them in a desperate situation. A day came when a neighbor told them about Transparent Hands. Nadeem’s parents swiftly reached out to us and asked for assistance. After listening to their concerns we registered Nadeem’s case.

On 29th October 2024, Nadeem was admitted to the Evercare Hospital, Lahore. The surgery took place on the same day. Dr. Imran Saeed inserted the internal component of the cochlear implant. After receiving essential post-operative care, Nadeem was discharged in stable condition on 30th October 2024.

The external component of the cochlear implant was installed after six weeks of the surgery. Nadeem now attends speech therapy sessions to completely learn language and communication skills. Nadeem’s parents expressed their happiness as follows:

“We were worried about the future, but now we see endless possibilities for Nadeem. The cochlear implant has opened doors we never thought possible. Our son can now grow like other kids. We thank everyone who contributed for our son’s surgery.”

The gift of hearing has changed Nadeem’s world. It has opened up new opportunities for learning and connection, allowing Nadeem to thrive in ways he had only dreamed of before. His family is eternally grateful for the support and care they received during their time of need.
