Check out this recent new story featured on ZNBC – Zambia’s largest television service provider showcasing the Starkey Hearing Institute and it’s great work happening in Zambia.
When Edwin Advincula visited our Aftercare Service in Baguio to have his hearing aids checked and batteries replaced, we had the opportunity to hear more about his remarkable journey.
Edwin, 46, from Pangasinan, was born with hearing loss. His parents and teachers first noticed his difficulty hearing when he was in kindergarten. He received his first hearing aids in Grade 4, but they didn’t last, leaving him without the support he needed.
In 2015, a friend connected Edwin with Starkey Hearing Foundation, and the following year, he received a new pair of hearing aids. With the gift of sound came new opportunities.
That same year, Edwin tried out for competitive table tennis. Years of dedication and training eventually earned him a place representing the Philippines in Indonesia in 2025, where he proudly brought home a bronze medal.
Today, Edwin is preparing to compete again in Malaysia in 2026 while also coaching young athletes and sharing his experience with the next generation.
Edwin’s journey is a powerful reminder of what can happen when determination meets opportunity. Sometimes, helping someone hear isn’t simply about restoring sound. It’s about giving them the chance to pursue everything they’re capable of.
