The Visionary Audiologist Behind 20dB Hearing in Malaysia

Since its inception in 2002, 20dB Hearing has transformed hearing care in Malaysia under the visionary leadership of its founder, Mr. Mok Yong Yaw. As an experienced audiologist, Mr. Mok recognized the urgent need for professional, accessible, and reliable hearing care services nationwide.

 

Driven by his mission to improve the lives of hearing-impaired individuals, Mr. Mok was one of the pioneers of audiologist-led hearing care in Malaysia, establishing a hearing care centre in Kuala Lumpur and helping shape the country's professional hearing care landscape. Building on this success, a second outlet was opened in Seremban in 2003.

 

Over the years, 20dB Hearing has expanded its footprint across Malaysia, thanks to a dedicated team of pioneering audiologists. Some team members even returned from Singapore to contribute to this noble mission. This expansion has made 20dB Hearing a trusted name, offering top-tier hearing solutions and personalized services across the country.

Our Founder In 2002, Mr. Mok Yong Yaw, the founder of 20dB Hearing, recognized the need for hearing-impaired individuals in Malaysia to access professional care and guidance. Realizing the lack of professionally managed hearing care centers, he established 20dB Hearing, formerly known as Gnosis Professional Hearing Services, with its first outlet in Taman Maluri, Cheras.   Driven by a passion for helping the hearing-impaired community, Mr. Mok expanded the network by recruiting pioneer audiologists, including those from Singapore, and opening additional outlets nationwide. Today, 20dB Hearing operates with a philosophy of being a blessing to the hearing-impaired community by providing access to the best products and services delivered by dedicated audiologists.   “Our audiologists are highly experienced and dedicated and based in their hometowns. We prefer local audiologists, as they better understand the local consumers, communicate better with the same dialect and serve our clients in the long term." – Mok Yong Yaw, Group Chief Executive Officer   Mr. Mok holds a Bachelor of Audiology (Hons) degree from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and specializes in speech audiometry, hearing aid fitting, and counseling. Before founding 20dB Hearing, he worked as an audiologist at Siemens Medical Instruments Pte Ltd from 2000 to 2003 and served as a part-time clinical supervisor at UKM Audiology Clinic from 2001 to 2005. In 2008, he earned a Master’s Degree in Business Administration (MBA) from The University of Melbourne. He is now based at 20dB Hearing’s HQ office in Kuching.
