Donate for Sahil’s Cochlear Implant Surgery
Muhammad Sahil's Story
A cochlear implant could completely transform Sahil’s life. He will not be able to hear the world, which will hinder his education and social development. His silence has shattered his family. He eagerly needs funds to afford the cochlear implant surgery; we urge you to donate and give him the opportunity to function well in life.
Two-year-old Muhammad Sahil, a resident of Nowshera, has been suffering from congenital sensorineural hearing loss. His parents first noticed something was wrong when he was one year old and wasn’t responding to their voices. They took him to the local hospital, where his tests were done. Upon consultation, he was diagnosed with sensorineural deafness. The doctor advised him to undergo cochlear implant surgery. To restore hearing, a cochlear implant uses electrical stimulation of the cochlear nerve. There are external and internal components to the implant. The external part is attached behind the ear. It processes the sounds with a microphone before sending them to the implant inside the ear.
Sahil lives with his parents in a small house. His father is the sole provider for the family and earns a monthly salary of PKR 40,000. Unfortunately, he cannot afford the surgery and is in dire need of financial assistance. His father expressed distress in the following words:
“We kindly appeal for your support in providing the necessary funds for our child’s cochlear implant surgery. Due to financial constraints, we are unable to afford the medical treatment that would enable our child to experience the joy of hearing. Your generous donation would not only help improve their quality of life but also grant them the opportunity to fully participate in the world around them.”
Someone informed Sahil’s parents about Transparent Hands and the causes we support, and they contacted us for financial assistance. Now, all that is required of you is a small donation that will allow him to continue his studies and explore the endless opportunities of life.
Please Note: In certain situations, we proceed with the patient's surgery/medical procedure despite incomplete funding displayed on the website. Following the surgery/medical procedure, we persist in collecting funds and maintain the campaign on the website until funding is secured in full. Hospitals have granted us a grace period for bill payment.

In the scenic town of Nowshera, a resilient young toddler named Muhammad Sahil embarked on a remarkable journey of triumph and resilience. At the tender age of 2, he faced the challenge of sensorineural hearing loss, a condition that presented obstacles in his path to experiencing the world of sound. Determined to help him overcome this obstacle, Sahil's family sought the expert care of Ali Medical Centre.
On the 22nd of November 2023, Sahil was admitted to the hospital, marking the beginning of a life-altering chapter. Under the skilled hands of the esteemed surgeon, Dr. Jawwad Ahmed, Sahil underwent a groundbreaking right-sided cochlear implant surgery. The procedure utilized a cutting-edge cochlear implant, meticulously designed to restore hearing function in individuals with sensorineural hearing loss.
The surgery proved to be a resounding success, opening a world of auditory wonders for Sahil. With attentive care and a brief period of recovery, Sahil's condition improved significantly. On the 23rd of November 2023, filled with gratitude and joy, Sahil and his family celebrated his discharge from the hospital, embracing a future filled with limitless possibilities and newfound auditory delights.
While the surgery had granted Sahil the gift of hearing, his journey towards complete restoration was still in progress.
