Why I Created FLO — A New Way to Hear, Connect, and Live Fully
For many years, I’ve watched countless seniors and people with disabilities struggle with hearing loss — not just the physical challenge of hearing, but the emotional pain of disconnection. Traditional hearing aids are often too expensive, uncomfortable, or stigmatizing. That’s what inspired me to create FLO — a new, inclusive, and affordable way to hear and connect with the world.
As someone living with partial blindness (Retinitis Pigmentosa), I know firsthand how vital accessibility and inclusion are. My own challenges with sight gave me a deeper connection to seniors and individuals living with disabilities. It helped me realize that hearing and vision aren’t just senses — they’re lifelines to communication, safety, and independence.
The Flo Group began with one mission: to make high-quality hearing solutions accessible to everyone — not just those who can afford expensive devices. Through innovation, compassion, and countless hours of testing with seniors across Canada, FLO-TruBalance 2.0 was born.
FLO-TruBalance 2.0 is not just another hearing product. It’s an open-ear bone-conduction sound amplifier that sits comfortably on your cheekbones, leaving your ear canal open to prevent wax buildup or pressure. It enhances sound clarity, minimizes background noise, and helps users stay connected without isolation or discomfort.
It’s senior-friendly, durable, versatile, and budget-conscious — offering a fraction of the cost of traditional hearing aids, while delivering a superior and healthier way of hearing.
I’ll never forget the first time a senior told me, “I can finally hear my granddaughter’s voice clearly again.” Moments like that remind me why I started this journey.
FLO isn’t just a product — it’s a movement. A movement toward inclusion, health, and empowerment. My vision is to ensure that everyone, regardless of income or condition, has access to technologies that improve their quality of life and restore the joy of connection.
Because everyone deserves to hear the world — clearly and confidently.
