Not too many Filipinos are knowledgeable when it comes to
detecting possible hearing problems. And even if they are, devices that provide
immediate solutions like hearing aids may be out of their reach because of the
prohibitive prices.
But it will soon be a thing of the past as Canadian social
enterprise earAccess, Inc. makes its high quality yet affordable hearing aids
available in the Philippines. The company partnered with FINE Nutrition Trading
International, a company known for its various health and well-being products,
who will serve as the exclusive local distributor of earAccess hearing aids in
the country.
earAccess hearing aids will be formally launched this
month, and they will be available initially at select Watsons stores.
Thanks to ACCESS® 1 and ACCESS® 2 hearing aid models being
launched, more Filipinos will now have access to high quality, durable and more
importantly affordable, hearing aids. Currently, hearing aids are out of reach
to many hearing-impaired Filipinos because they are expensive. The high price
tag for hearing aids thus acted as a barrier for those with hearing impairment
to get the access and relief that hearing aids provide. earAccess will change
all of that.
