Recently I had the privilege of being the first surgeon in Southeast Asia to implant the new Cochlear™ Nucleus® NEXA.

It’s an exciting step forward for patients who rely on cochlear implants to reconnect with the world around them! The Nexa cochlear implant is the world’s first “smart” implant that stores your unique hearing settings on the chip and can receive firmware updates—just like your smartphone—so you can get better hearing over time without needing a new implant.

Cochlear implantation is truly a team effort, and what a team I have! .govil .sea

Did you know that globally over 1 billion young adults are at risk of permanent, avoidable due to exposure to loud recreational noises such as rock concerts and music festivals, as well as long periods of listening to music played loudly through earphones ( )?

I’m off to improve my Mandarin 😂

It’s !

The most important advocacy day of the year for me.

Did you know that affects a staggering 1.5 billion people globally?

Did you know that many of them don’t even know that they have hearing loss?

Did you know that many of those affected, including here in , do not have any treatment for many reasons including lack of awareness, stigma and lack of access?

Did you know that untreated hearing loss has serious consequences for quality of life, relationships, and physical and mental health…?

A big thank you to and for this opportunity!

Muffled hearing shouldn't be ignored. Here's what to know about hearing loss and how Cochlear implants can help when a hearing aid can't.
