For little Nurgozel Gundogdyyeva, life had always been silent. Born in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, she was diagnosed with bilateral congenital hearing loss at just two years old. Despite using hearing aids in her early years, her condition gradually worsened, leading to profound hearing loss in both ears. The absence of sound made it challenging for her to develop speech and fully engage with the world around her.

Determined to give their daughter a chance at a better life, Nurgozel’s father sought expert medical care beyond their home country. Their search led them to Yatharth Hospital, Noida Extension, where they placed their trust in our Cochlear Implant Surgeon Dr. Shikha Sharma.

Dr. Shikha Sharma performed the groundbreaking cochlear implant surgery at Yatharth Hospital Noida Extension. This advanced procedure involved the precise implantation of a state-of-the-art hearing device, designed to bypass the damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. The surgery was a success, marking a new beginning for the young girl.

Three weeks after the procedure, as the device was switched on, her world changed forever—she heard sound for the first time in her life. While the journey to speech and language development will take time, Nurgozel now has a future filled with possibilities. With continued speech therapy and rehabilitation, she will learn to communicate and connect with the world in ways she never could before.

At Yatharth Hospital, we are proud to offer world-class medical care and cutting-edge technology, transforming lives one patient at a time. Nurgozel’s case is a testament to our commitment to hearing restoration and personalized patient care, ensuring that every child gets a chance to experience the joy of sound.
