Minal Khan's Story

Two-year-old Minal, a resident of Mansehra, has been suffering from hearing impairment since birth. Her parents noticed that she was not responding to their voices when she was just one year old, and their worst fears were confirmed by medical tests and consultations with the doctors. She was diagnosed with sensorineural deafness. Her doctor advised cochlear implant surgery. Her family could not afford the procedure. In a desperate attempt to get help, they contacted Transparent Hands, where the power of collective kindness gave her a chance to restore her hearing.

She was admitted to Ali Medical Complex, Islamabad, where Dr. Jawwad skillfully performed the cochlear implant surgery on 20-06-2023. The doctor successfully implanted the internal component with accuracy and expertise, constituting an important step in her quest for hearing restoration. After just one day in the hospital, she was discharged with renewed hope.

Minal’s journey to regain her hearing took time and patience. After a couple of weeks, the doctor inserted the external part of the cochlear implant. Through a series of speech therapy sessions, she would soon start recognizing and understanding sounds. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a fresh and captivating world for her, brimming with the magic of language.

With the guidance of a skilled speech therapist, she embarked on speech therapy sessions that enriched her language and communication abilities. The cochlear implant played a pivotal role, opening doors to learning, companionship, and contentment in her life.

The kindness of donors who generously backed this cause played a central part in helping Minal’s remarkable journey, especially given her family’s financial limits. Regaining her ability to hear has brought her immense joy and strength, giving her the confidence to move ahead in a life full of energy. Embracing the sounds around her, Minal stands ready to chase her aspirations with resilience and motivation.
