My name is Eric Chong. I was born in UK and I grown up in Malaysia. I was born in very healthy condition and I can hear everything. Now, I will suffered without a pair of hearing aids everyday. All my friends always have the same questions to me, "Why you have to wear the hearing aids? What happened to your hearing? What cause your hearing loss?"
When I was in high school, I cannot live without music. After few years of listening to the radio and music with my headset everyday, my hearing gone weaker and response getting slower and slower when people around talked to me. The sound around me getting softer and softer. My life became quiet and quieter when I was in my college time without any hearing aids. When I graduated in 2005, I decided to visit a hearing specialist to have myself a hearing test. I realised I can only hear 30% of the sound around me. And then I got my first pair of in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids, from Starkey. Since then, my first pair of hearing changed my life! I can hear again! Also, I am now a happier person now who can really enjoy my life with all sound around.
I would love to do this blog website is because I want everybody learn how to take good care of your ear. Just a little bit of mistake, it can cause us hearing loss just like me. With a hearing loss life, you will need to spend a lot of money and emotional moments. So, I hope my blog could help everyone to have a healthy hearing life. For those who already have hearing loss, don't feel embarrassed, you are not alone, I hope my blog could change your life and make you feel more confidence in doing whatever you love.
With lots of love,
ERIC
