Mr. Chan’s New Ear for the New Year

Greetings, my name is Ed, aka Mr Chan. I am near deaf, and will be having surgery for Cochlear Implants on December 29, 2022 at Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside, Oregon . Performed by Dr John C. Goddard MD. As a friend told me, “New Year, New Ear”

I lost my hearing on January 11th. It was frightening to say the least. As I went through numerous tests, and consultations, I realized I was grieving. I became depressed and scared.

Many know Ed, as loving to sing, play guitar and engage in presence with people by conversation, laughter… kinship. With the profound hearing loss, I can no longer hear music and be in a room with more than two people, as what you may hear as normal, to me is noise.

Despite the challenges, I’m embracing my deafness and learning to see and listen differently. I’ve learned to bless my disability.

I have been fortunate to meet others with cochlear implants whom shared their experience and they are excited for me. I’m praying and humbly asking for your financial assistance for my “New Ear” Please consider a donation of any amount.

I hold all of you in prayer and affection.

Peace and love during this holy and beautiful season of the year.

Thank you,

Ed Chan
