Hami’s Cochlear Implant Surgery was Successful

Muhammad Hami's Story

Muhammad Hami, a 3-year-old boy from Kasur, was unable to hear since birth. He couldn’t even communicate about his basic needs. At his age, when most children begin to explore the world of sounds, Hami was confined in his world of silence. His parents learned about his condition when he was one year old. They took him to a local hospital and consulted a doctor. After running some medical tests, the doctor diagnosed Hami with congenital sensorineural hearing loss and recommended cochlear implant surgery. Unfortunately, the surgical cost was out of his family’s financial capacity.

Hami lived in a modest rented house with his parents. His father’s income was just PKR 40,000 per month, which was inadequate to cover their expenses. His parents longed to see him communicate with his family and friends like other children. However, their financial constraints made it impossible for them to afford the much-needed surgery. During this time of despair, a day came when a well-wisher told them about Transparent Hands. Muhammad Hami’s parents swiftly contacted Transparent Hands and asked for assistance. After listening to his concerns, we registered his case.

On January 6, 2025, Hami was admitted to the National Hospital in Lahore. Dr. Asim Iqbal performed the surgery and carefully inserted the internal component of the cochlear implant. Hami received post-operative care and was discharged in satisfactory condition on January 7, 2025.

After six weeks, the external component of the cochlear implant will be installed and Hami will start receiving speech therapy sessions. These steps are essential for completing the treatment and fully enabling him to speak and hear clearly.

Hami’s parents said with happiness:

“We can’t believe our son has successfully undergone surgery. We were anxious about his future, but the results after his surgery have exceeded our expectations. We are immensely grateful for the support and care we received. Thanks for your help.”
