EN: hearing aid
Basically, it's the tech support for your ears. When the world sounds like it's on mute or you keep saying 'Ha?' in every conversation about the latest 'chismis' (gossip), you might need a pang-ulinig. It's the device that turns the volume of life back up.
From `pang-` (instrument for) + `ulinig` (to hear faintly, to perceive a sound).
ROOT MEANING: faint hearing; eavesdropping
This is a more formal or technical term. The English term 'hearing aid' is more commonly used in everyday conversation.
