Support Miraj’s Cochlear Implant Surgery

Muhammad Miraj 's Story

Miraj has been silent for the last four years due to hearing impairment. He is unfamiliar with all of the sounds we take for granted. His parents are unable to pay for a cochlear implant surgery that would restore his hearing due to financial constraints. You can fund his surgery with as little as $10. Support Miraj’s cochlear implant surgery to brighten his future.

Four-year-old Miraj, a resident of Islamabad, was born without the ability to hear. His parents noticed this and took him to the hospital for a consultation when he was a year old. After a thorough evaluation and some diagnostic tests, the doctor diagnosed him with sensorineural hearing loss. The doctor has advised him to undergo cochlear implant surgery, to enable him to hear. With this device, he will be able to hear and discover sounds for the first time. The cochlear implant has two components. One is surgically implanted close to the ear, and the external component is installed a few weeks after the surgery.

He lives in a small house with his parents and six siblings. His father is a butcher and earns just PKR 50,000 per month. He has no other source of income. A cochlear implant is an expensive surgery. Due to financial constraints, he is unable to afford the surgical expenses. His father said in a depressed tone:

“My son’s inability to express himself due to his hearing loss is heartbreaking. Your financial gift can bring him the joy of hearing and socializing.”
