Quote from article:
"Madam Audrey Heng had been suffering from deteriorating hearing loss in both ears since her late 20s.She underwent a stapedotomy - removing the stapes bone in the ear and replacing it with an artificial device to enhance hearing in 1988 for her right ear and in 1992 for her left. However, she lost complete hearing in her right ear in 1998and had to rely on hearing aids for her left ear from the year 2000. But after experiencing a serious episode of vertigo while on vacation with her sister in the US in 2017, she lost hearing in her left ear as well. So when Madam Heng, who is now 63, regained her hearing in 2018 after receiving a cochlear implant in her right ear, the experience felt "surreal". The retiree told The New Paper: "When they turned on my cochlear implant, my first reaction was 'it is too loud', as I was used to not hearing anything in that ear for 20 years."
