What are Cochlear Implants?

Success Stories
Barbar from Karachi, Pakistan, speaks about his two-year-old daughter, who was diagnosed as profoundly deaf following a BERA hearing test.
He was advised to contact the IMRA Team, as cochlear implant treatment is very expensive and IMRA provides charitable cochlear implant procedures for children in need.
Ayza Khan, who currently lives in Dubai, was diagnosed with profound deafness. Her mother discovered IMRA, who performed cochlear implant surgery on Ayza when she was just 18 months old.
Today, Ayza can hear and speak normally and speaks several languages, including Urdu, Arabic, English and French. She completed reading the Quran at the age of seven and has also memorised many chapters.
