Hope for the Hearing ImpairedThe hearing arm of Tzu Chi’s Free Clinic continues to grow with a donation of 300 hearing aids from Australian-based couple Rotary PDG Danny Low and Dr. Angeline Low, and the turnover of a screening audiometer and tympanometer and other accessories from otorhinolaryngologist and audiologist Dr. Joyce Rodvie Sagun, who received them from a grant in the US.
