I was diagnosed with acoustic neuroma in my right ear in 2017 and my hearing was affected after the surgery

8 Oct 2018

"I was diagnosed with acoustic neuroma in my right ear in 2017 and my hearing was affected after the surgery to remove the tumour.  I experienced how it felt to have hearing difficulties and how hearing devices can benefit. That sparked my interest to help others with hearing difficulties.

I once encountered a patient with the exact same condition as me and I am happy that I can share my experiences and recovery journey with him.  It is challenging to live with hearing loss but with the help of hearing professionals and advanced hearing technology such as hearing aids and ear implants, we can continue to enjoy the vibrant sounds of the world."
