Mustafa Khan 's Story

Five-year-old Mustafa Khan, a resident of Rawalpindi, 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. They have advised him to undergo cochlear implant surgery, which will enable him to hear. Unfortunately, his family was not in a stable financial situation to pay for the surgery. They contacted Transparent Hands for financial assistance.

Mustafa was admitted to Ali Medical Complex, Islamabad, where Dr. Jawad skillfully performed the cochlear implant surgery on 26-06-2023. The doctor was able to fix the cochlear implant’s internal component, and the procedure was successful. He was discharged from the hospital the next day. However, before his hearing was fully recovered, he still had a long way to go. After a few weeks, he visited the hospital again, where the cochlear implant’s external component was fixed, enabling him to experience the world of sound.

Mustafa seeks consultation from professional speech therapists to help him improve his language and communication abilities. Through speech therapy, he is able to appreciate language in all its richness. His cochlear implant serves as a gateway to the auditory world, allowing him to hear for the first time and paving the way to better education, more meaningful relationships, and a more fulfilling life. The implant allows him to take an active role in conversations, making him feel more at home in social gatherings. He can form meaningful relationships and share laughter and shared moments with his family, friends, and peers.

Mustafa and his family were able to afford this life-altering operation, and they were thankful for the kindness of donors and the invaluable help of Transparent Hands. The impact of your assistance in giving him the ability to hear will last for the rest of his life.
