Impactful Story:
A daughter accompanied her mother to consult about hearing aid fitting. The elderly mother held misunderstandings about hearing aid fitting: she had previously bought a hearing aid casually from a street vendor, which did not work well, and thus had been resistant to hearing aids ever since.
After patient explanation and guidance from Dr. Wang Shuo, the mother and daughter finally understood the process and importance of scientific, professional fitting of standard hearing aids.
