With hearing loss affecting over 400 million people in Southeast Asia and an increasingly ageing population, WS Audiology (WSA) is addressing this critical issue with the launch of ORCA Asia in Singapore.

This state-of-the-art audiological research laboratory, supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), is set to drive innovation in hearing aid technology tailored to the Asian market.

ORCA Asia will not only tackle regional challenges but also create high-skilled job opportunities, solidifying Singapore’s position as a key player in global MedTech advancements.
