Rania’s Cochlear Implant Surgery was Successful

Rania Abdul Rehman's Story

Rania, a 1-year-old girl from Lahore, had been living in a world of silence since birth. Her inability to respond to sounds, laughter, or even her name deeply worried her parents. They noticed her unresponsiveness and consulted a doctor. After a series of tests, the doctor diagnosed Rania with congenital sensorineural hearing loss. To give her the gift of hearing, the doctor recommended cochlear implant surgery. This life-changing procedure was necessary to enable her to hear sounds and develop speech. Unfortunately, the high cost of the surgery was beyond her family’s financial reach.

Rania lived in a small house with her parents and three siblings. Her father, a police officer, earned a modest income of PKR 60,000 per month. This income just covered their basic living expenses. The thought of affording such an expensive surgery seemed impossible, leaving her parents heartbroken. Desperate to help their daughter, they learned about Transparent Hands and decided to seek assistance. After listening to their concerns, we registered Rania’s case and ensured that she would receive the much-needed care.

On 1st December 2024, Rania was admitted to Evercare Hospital in Lahore. The internal component of her cochlear implant was successfully inserted by Dr. Imran Saeed. Rania was discharged in stable condition the next day.

The external component of the implant will be installed after six weeks. After that, Rania will begin her speech therapy sessions to develop communication skills.

Rania’s parents shared their heartfelt gratitude with the following words:

“You have enabled our daughter to explore sounds. Thank you for giving her this incredible gift and for changing her future.”

Today, Rania is on her way to a brighter and more fulfilling future. Her family is forever grateful to you for making this cochlear implant surgery possible and giving their little girl new hope in life.
