Transform Ahmed’s World with Cochlear Implant Surgery

Ahmed Asad's Story

Ahmed Asad, a two-year-old resident of Dadu, Sindh, is living in a world of silence. Born with congenital sensorineural hearing loss, he is unable to respond to his parents’ loving voices, leaving him isolated from the vibrant world around him. Ahmed’s parents first noticed his hearing loss when he turned one, prompting them to seek help and hope for their precious son.

After extensive consultations and examinations, the doctors recommended a life-changing solution: cochlear implant surgery. This procedure involves the implantation of an electronic device that stimulates the hearing nerve, allowing patients to regain the gift of sound.

Ahmed lives in a small house with his parents in Dadu, Sindh. He is the only child of his parents. However, their family is caught in a relentless cycle of financial hardships. Ahmed’s father, the sole breadwinner, struggles to make ends meet on a meager monthly income of just PKR 20,000. After paying utility bills, buying groceries, and covering daily expenses, there is no money left for savings. They have no other source of financial support.

Ahmed’s father feels helpless and burdened by the lack of financial stability, as he is unable to afford the expenses for surgical intervention that could give his son the ability to hear and experience the joys of childhood.

With despair filling their hearts, Ahmed’s parents turned to Transparent Hands, seeking a glimmer of hope for their beloved son.

Ahmed’s father said in despair:

“We yearn for Ahmed to embrace the world of sounds, to listen to our voices, and to have the opportunity to communicate freely. But the financial burden is overwhelming for us.”

Moved by their plea, Transparent Hands has registered Ahmed’s case, providing us with an extraordinary opportunity to make a lasting impact on his life. With open hearts, let us rally behind Ahmed’s cause and generously donate towards his cochlear implant surgery. By standing together in support, we can pave the way for Ahmed to enter a world filled with melodies of joy, where he can communicate, learn, and thrive. By individually stepping forward, we can collectively create a transformative symphony of hope for Ahmed, granting him the gift of hearing.

Please Note: In certain situations, we proceed with the patient's surgery/medical procedure despite incomplete funding displayed on the website. Following the surgery/medical procedure, we persist in collecting funds and maintain the campaign on the website until funding is secured in full.

Ahmed Asad's Story

Ahmed Asad, a two-year-old from Dadu, Sindh, lives in a world of silence due to congenital sensorineural hearing loss. Unable to hear his parents' voices or engage with the vibrant world around him, Ahmed's parents sought help and hope for their beloved son. After consultations and examinations, the doctors recommended a life-changing solution: cochlear implant surgery. However, financial instability burdened Ahmed's father, making it impossible to afford the expenses for the surgical intervention that could give his son the gift of hearing.

Faced with despair, Ahmed's parents turned to Transparent Hands, seeking a glimmer of hope for their precious son. Thanks to the donors, Ahmed's journey towards rediscovering the joy of hearing began. We facilitated his admission to GIMS Hospital in Gambat, where the skilled surgeon, Dr. Maqbool, performed the intricate procedure to implant the internal component of the cochlear device on March 23, 2024.

The successful implantation of the internal component marked a significant milestone in Ahmed's hearing restoration journey. After just two days, he was discharged from the hospital, filled with renewed hope and possibilities. Over the next six weeks, the external component of the cochlear implant was carefully installed, paving the way for ongoing speech therapy sessions. These sessions played a crucial role in helping Ahmed perceive and process sounds, supporting his language and communication development.

With the cochlear implant in place, Ahmed now experiences the joy of actively engaging in conversations and participating in social gatherings. His newfound ability to hear has profoundly impacted his life, enabling him to fully immerse himself in the world around him.The success of Ahmed's cochlear implant surgery and his remarkable progress are a testament to the immeasurable contributions and unwavering support of the generous donors who made this life-transforming surgery financially feasible for Ahmed and his family. Their compassion has opened doors to a world of sound and possibilities, giving Ahmed the chance to embrace the joys of childhood and connect with his loved ones in profound ways.
