Xiaosun was worried that his grandma would not be able to communicate with the doctors and make an appointment for a hearing aid. He came to his house to spend Mother's Day with his grandma.
Mr. Li’s grandma is 93 years old. She was admitted to a nursing center due to a fall and fracture a few months ago. Because she can’t hear sounds and the environment is noisy, it is quite inconvenient for medical staff to ask her what’s wrong with her. The family wants to It’s also difficult to talk to grandma. So the filial Mr. Li searched online and made an appointment for hearing aid home delivery service. He helped his grandma choose a pair of hearing aids. Mr. Li, who was exposed to hearing aids for the first time, was surprised and touched by the effect of the hearing aids, because now he can use it smoothly every day. I exchanged greetings with my grandma.
Even though many research reports show that uncorrected hearing loss may lead to risks such as dementia, falls, and depression, the vast majority of hearing-impaired elders still reject the intervention of hearing aids. According to statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), the incidence rate of hearing loss is 10%. When combined with the annual import volume of hearing aids, only 4.5% of Taiwan’s hearing-impaired population actually takes action to use hearing aids every year.
Senior audiologist Cai Yanxin said that in addition to economic considerations, misunderstandings about hearing aids, or psychological factors such as focusing on appearance, there are currently three groups of people with hearing loss who do not receive assistive devices, including elders who have limited mobility or are bedridden, or children who have difficulty working on weekdays. Business people who take time off to accompany their elders for examinations and fittings, as well as business people who value privacy or are busy with work, may increase the risk of cognitive impairment.
In order to reduce the risk of dementia in Taiwanese people and the social cost of future dementia care through hearing loss correction, Colin Hearing Aids, which currently has nearly 100 directly-operated stores, has launched a “hearing aid home service solution” to provide professional assistive aids. The matching and consultation services have received a high level of inquiries since they opened for reservations.

And if you combine it with the Mother’s Day project before the end of May, you can enjoy 15% off on designated models, and you have the chance to win another 10,000 yuan discount.
