Ipoh audiologist starts campaign to get hearing aids for children of poor families - superadmin - 05-20-2021 Shocked by 11-year-old’s hearing loss, Ipoh audiologist starts campaign to get hearing aids for children of poor families IPOH, May 20 — Audiologist Sylvia Lee has been having campaigns to get people to check on their hearing for signs of deafness since 2017. The last time such a campaign was undertaken was in 2019. Lee said she was supposed to have the biennial campaign this year but had to postpone it due to the Covid-19 pandemic.  But after seeing an 11-year-old boy last month, Lee decided to kickstart her campaign again. “The boy had told his grandmother that he could not hear very well in his left ear.” “After undergoing checks, I was shocked to learn that he only had 10 per cent of his hearing in that ear.” - More -
