Muhammad Essa Stepped Into the World of Hearing

Muhammad Essa's Story

In the vibrant city of Sukkur, a two-year-old boy named Muhammad Essa faced the challenges of congenital sensorineural hearing loss. His parents first became aware of his condition when he failed to respond to their voices at the tender age of one. Seeking answers, they brought him to a local hospital where tests confirmed his diagnosis of sensorineural deafness. The doctor recommended cochlear implant surgery as the potential solution to restore Muhammad Essa’s ability to hear.

However, Muhammad Essa’s family, consisting of twelve members, struggled financially. With a monthly income of PKR 30,000 and the weight of their responsibilities, affording the life-changing surgery seemed impossible. In their desperate search for assistance, they discovered Transparent Hands and the incredible causes it supports, prompting them to reach out for help.

Thanks to the boundless generosity of compassionate donors, Muhammad Essa’s journey towards rediscovering the symphony of sound began. Transparent Hands facilitated his admission to GIMS Hospital in Gambat, where the skilled surgeon Dr. Maqbool performed the intricate procedure to implant the internal component of the cochlear device on March 23, 2024. After just two days, Muhammad Essa left the hospital with renewed hope and a world of possibilities awaiting him.

For the following six weeks, we continued to provide unwavering support. The external implant was successfully installed, accompanied by a series of meticulously scheduled speech therapy sessions. Each session held the promise of unlocking the wonders of sound, allowing Muhammad Essa to fully embrace the melodies of life once more.

Muhammad Essa’s life has been forever transformed, and the symphony of hope resounds within him. Through the collective compassion of donors and the tireless efforts of our organization, he has transcended the limitations imposed by his hearing loss. Laughter, music, and cherished conversations now fill his world, painting it with vibrant hues of joy and connection.
