Serving On Amidst A Pandemic
Our Community Service (CS) team has been hands on – literally! – during the current Covid-19 crisis, manning our frontline counter and hearing care center on every weekday. We have also had an action-packed schedule, organising activities and events for clients while following safety measures.
Enjoy the highlights!

On 9 March 2020, senior audiological manager Lai Siu Fai was on a radio talk show to share about age-related hearing loss together with Ng Teng Fong Hospital’s audiology head.
Hear Together!
Our Hearing Care Centre collaborated with NUS student group “Hear Together” to do a hearing screening for the elderly at Hearbeat@Bedok on 7 & 10 March. We managed to screen 109 elderly folks!.
