Rizwan Underwent Cochlear Implant Surgery Successfully

Muhammad Bin Rizwan's Story

Muhammad Bin Rizwan, a 3-year-old boy from Lahore, had lived in a world of silence since birth. His inability to hear limited his ability to communicate with his family and engage in activities that most children enjoy. Rizwan had never heard the sounds of his mother’s voice or the playful noises of his toys. This became a significant source of concern for his parents, who noticed his unresponsiveness to sounds. They took Rizwan to a local hospital, where he underwent a series of medical tests. The doctor diagnosed him with congenital sensorineural hearing loss and recommended cochlear implant surgery as the most effective solution to help Rizwan hear and develop speech. However, the cost of the cochlear implant surgery was beyond his family’s financial capacity.

Rizwan lived in a modest house with his parents and four younger siblings. His father, a police employee, earned just enough to cover the household expenses, including utility bills, the children’s educational fees, and basic necessities. The high cost of the cochlear implant surgery was out of his family’s reach, leaving them heartbroken and desperate for help. During this challenging time, Rizwan’s parents learned about Transparent Hands. They reached out to us and asked us to register his case. Through the support of generous donors, Rizwan’s surgery was scheduled, giving him the chance to experience sounds for the first time.

On November 30, 2024, Rizwan was admitted to Evercare Hospital in Lahore. Dr. Imran Saeed inserted the internal component of the cochlear implant. The surgery was a success, opening the doors of the world of sounds for Rizwan. After receiving post-operative care, Rizwan was discharged in stable condition on December 02, 2024.

Recently, the external component of Rizwan’s cochlear implant was installed, marking another significant step in his journey toward hearing and communication. Rizwan will now undergo speech therapy sessions to help him develop the ability to communicate effectively and fully engage with the world around him.

Rizwan’s parents expressed their happiness as follows:

“We used to dream of a world where our son could hear, and you’ve turned this into reality. We are forever grateful to everyone who made this possible.”

Rizwan’s family is deeply grateful to you for supporting his cochlear implant surgery. Your generosity changed Rizwan’s life.
