Support Sameen’s Cochlear Implant Surgery

Sameen Ayyaz's Story

Sameen is a lovely name, but it has not helped her respond to her parents’ voices or even identify their voices. Tragically, the cochlear implant surgery cost that could restore her hearing exceeds her family’s financial means. We humbly request that you support Sameen’s cochlear implant surgery to allow her to unlock the world of sounds that have been inaccessible to her thus far. Your generous financial contribution can make a profound difference in her life.

Sameen Ayyaz, a 14-year-old resident of Sahiwal, has faced the profound challenge of being deaf since birth. When Sameen was just one year old, her parents noticed she did not react to their voices. Concerned, they took her to a local hospital, where she underwent tests. The diagnostic tests revealed that Sameen suffered from sensorineural hearing loss. The doctor recommended cochlear implant surgery as a solution. A cochlear implant is a small electronic device that stimulates the cochlear nerve, which is responsible for hearing. It consists of internal and external components, with the outer part capturing sounds through a microphone, processing them, and transmitting them to the inner part of the implant.

Sameen resides with her parents and two siblings. Her father, a hardworking laborer, earns a monthly income of PKR 30,000. However, due to their financial constraints, he cannot afford the costly surgery.

He shared his distress, stating, “Our lives turned upside down when we received the news of Sameen’s hearing loss. Without the surgery, I worry about her future. Please support us by donating now.”

Fortunately, a caring family member informed them about Transparent Hands, and they promptly registered Sameen’s case with us. We are dedicated to making it possible for Sameen to hear her parents’ voices, but we rely on your generous donations to make this dream come true. Please support Sameen’s cochlear implant surgery, which will greatly improve her quality of life.

Sameen Ayyaz's Story

Sameen Ayyaz, a 14-year-old resident of Sahiwal, had faced the profound challenge of being deaf since birth. Her parents noticed when she was just one year old that she did not react to their voices, prompting them to seek medical help. Diagnostic tests revealed that Sameen suffered from sensorineural hearing loss, and cochlear implant surgery was recommended as a solution.

Unfortunately, Sameen's family faced financial constraints that made the costly surgery unaffordable for many years. However, they received a glimmer of hope when a caring family member informed them about Transparent Hands. Without further delay, we registered Sameen's case and started her campaign to collect funds on our website.

With the support of generous donors, Sameen was admitted to the National Hospital and Medical Center. On March 9, 2024, Dr. Naveed Aslam successfully performed her surgery for the internal component of the cochlear implant. Just one day later, Sameen was discharged from the hospital, filled with optimism and the anticipation of gaining the ability to hear.

Her journey continued as, six weeks later, the external component of the cochlear implant was also fixed. At the same time, Sameen began her dedicated journey through speech therapy sessions, playing a crucial role in her adaptation to the auditory realm.

The success of Sameen's journey owes its success to the remarkable support of generous donors. Their contributions not only provided the necessary financial assistance but also served as a beacon of hope, infusing Sameen's family with strength and optimism throughout this transformative journey.

This story shows how medical advancements, determination, and the kindness of donors came together to make a big difference. Sameen, with her strong spirit and the help of Dr. Naveed and generous donors, now has a bright future ahead. She can explore a world full of communication, learning, and endless possibilities. Her life was forever changed, as she now had the opportunity to fully experience the richness of sound and connect with the world in a meaningful way.
