You Changed Roman’s Life with Cochlear Implant Surgery

Muhammad Roman's Story

Muhammad Roman, a 3-year-old boy from Chiniot, had never experienced the sounds of the world around him. Since birth, he was unable to hear his parents’ voices, the laughter of his siblings, or the simple sounds of daily life. His inability to hear made communication difficult and delayed his speech development. Determined to find a solution, his parents took him to a local hospital for a consultation. After a thorough evaluation, the doctor diagnosed him with congenital Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL) and recommended a cochlear implant surgery to restore his hearing. However, the high cost of the procedure was far beyond what his family could afford.

Roman lived in a modest home with his joint family of five members. His father, a police employee, worked hard to provide for them. His modest monthly income was only enough to cover essential household expenses. With most of his earnings spent on food, utilities, and other necessities, there was no way he could arrange money for his son’s surgery. Feeling helpless, Roman’s parents feared that their child would remain trapped in a world of silence forever. During this time of need, they turned to Transparent Hands. Understanding the nature of Roman’s situation, we quickly registered his case.

On January 23, 2025, Roman was admitted to Evercare Hospital Lahore. Dr. Imran Saeed carefully inserted the internal component of the cochlear implant. The surgery was successful, and after post-operative care, Roman was discharged in stable condition on January 24, 2025.

Six weeks after the surgery, the external component of the cochlear implant will be installed. Moreover, Roman will start receiving speech therapy sessions to communicate properly.

Roman’s parents said with happiness:
“For years, we feared our son would never hear our voices, but your generosity has given him a chance to lead a normal life. Words cannot express how grateful we are. You have gifted our child the ability to hear and we are incredibly grateful for your generous support.”

Roman’s life has been changed after the surgery. He is now exploring the world of sounds. His family is thankful to you for supporting them during their time of need.
