She also represented Chinese Taipei at the 1994 Asian Games and won a bronze medal in the team event. Ho, who won eight successive national championships, began to have hearing loss in the 1990s, which was a hereditary condition in her family. When her hearing got bad enough that she could no longer hear the racket hit the ball she had to give up professional tennis. In 2009 she represented Chinese Taipei at the Summer Deaflympics being hosted in her home country. She partnered with one of her elder sisters, Ho Chiu-hsiang, in the doubles event and they claimed a silver medal. (en)
