Celebrities SharingArtist Mr. Bowie Wu Fung

Bowie Wu Fung, a Hong Kong actor who began his acting career in 1950s, noticed a gradual deterioration of hearing sensitivity especially in recent years. Wu reported that he found it difficult to hear daily conversations. His friends referred him to us for hearing aid consultation. Hearing aid options and his communication needs were discussed. Binaural amplification was recommended for Wu to facilitate his speech reception ability.
After wearing the hearing aids, Wu found that it was much easier for him to communicate with others. He did not need to ask people to repeat themselves. Wu said, “A lot of people misunderstands what a hearing aid truly is. They think it’s a noisy ugly thing. In fact, today’s hearing aids have evolved and have lots of different styles for users to choose. They are much smaller in size and easy to operate, some hearing aid models are not easily seen by others. When I hang out with friends, I can’t find any problem at all!” Please seek consultation as soon as possible if you feel your hearing levels drop!
