The Gift of Hearing: Al-Rafay Foundation Distributes AI-Powered Starkey Hearing Aids as “Eidi” at The Children’s Hospital Lahore

LAHORE – March 19th, 2026 – In a profound gesture of compassion during the holy month of Ramadan, the Audiology Department of The Children’s Hospital Lahore, in collaboration with the Al-Rafay Foundation, organized a ceremony to distribute state-of-the-art Starkey AI Technology Hearing Aids to five children battling profound hearing loss.

These advanced devices were presented to the children as a special “Eidi” gift, aiming to provide a life-changing impact by transitioning these young souls from a world of silence to one of sound and opportunity before the festive occasion of Eid.

The ceremony was graced by Prof. Dr. Masood, Vice Chancellor of University of Child Health (UCH), and Prof. Dr. Javed Akram, Director of Al-Rafay Foundation. Joining them were Dr. Tipu, Managing Director of Children’s Hospital, and Dr. Shehla Javed Akram, CEO of APKA Clinic.

A Commitment to Early Intervention
The leadership renewed their pledge to prioritize pediatric healthcare, specifically focusing on the early detection of hearing loss.

“Giving these AI-powered devices as Eidi is more than just a seasonal gift; it is an investment in a child’s entire future,” stated Prof. Dr. Javed Akram. “By integrating the world’s latest technology into our charitable efforts, we are ensuring these children can ‘Hear Better and Live Better’ starting today.”

Prof. Dr. Masood added, “Early intervention is the bridge between isolation and integration. This ceremony, organized by our Audiology Department, sets a benchmark for how technology and empathy can transform public healthcare and bring joy to families during Ramadan.”
