Marion Marincat was 26 when he first noticed something wasn’t quite right with his hearing. “It was like the feeling when you come out of a plane, your ears are blocked and you need to pop them,” the entrepreneur recalls.
“I thought I had flu, I kept trying to pop my ears. But within a few months, I just couldn’t hear any more.”
Marion, who used to work on renewable energy projects, found himself suffering 80% hearing loss and tinnitus. He was unable to take part in meetings or have conversations with colleagues.
