Musfirah Can Hear Now Because of You
Musfirah Bibi's Story
Musfirah, a 2-year-old resident of Khairpur, had been suffering from congenital deafness since birth. She never responded to her parents’ voices and the sounds around her. Concerned about her condition, her parents consulted a doctor who conducted some diagnostic tests. After a thorough examination and evaluation, the doctor diagnosed Musfirah with congenital Sensorineural Hearing loss (SNHL) and recommended cochlear implant surgery for it. However, the significant cost of the surgery was overwhelming for Musfirah’s family.
Musfirah’s father, a daily wage laborer with an insufficient monthly income, struggled to provide for his family. They live in a small two-room rented house. Musfirah’s father is the sole provider for the family and barely manages to cover the utility bills, house rent, and other living expenses. He couldn’t afford to pay for his daughter’s surgery.
During this challenging time, they learned about Transparent Hands and contacted us. We listened to their concerns and promptly registered Musfirah’s case.
On June 5, 2024, little Musfirah was admitted to the GIMS hospital in Gambat. The surgery took place on June 6, 2024. Dr. Maqbool Ahmed and his team performed the procedure and inserted the internal component of the cochlear implant with the utmost care and precision.
Six weeks after the surgery, the external component was carefully fitted and installed. Musfirah regularly attends speech therapy sessions to improve her communication and hearing.
Musfirah’s parents were overwhelmed with gratitude and described their happiness as follows:
“We are happy and can’t forget the moment when she turned her head at the sound of our voices for the first time. You made our daughter’s surgery possible. We can never forget your generosity.
Today, Musfirah is thriving and learning to navigate the world of sounds. Her parents cannot believe the transformation they see in their daughter. They are deeply grateful to you for making this surgery possible.
As Musfirah continues her journey, her parents know that she has a bright future filled with opportunities. You made a significant difference in Musfirah’s life.
