  • Love this podcast

    As an HCP (BC-HIS), I love the knowledge that is brought and so many times, a new perspective on what we do. Sometimes we get stuck in our ways of how we do things and this sheds a new light on why do we do what we do. Also being a hearing aid user, this podcast is a great use for advocacy in the profession for hearing loss across the board. Thank you for all you do!

  • Love

    I’m in love with how informational and educated this podcast is. The insight that we get from here is a whole lot different from the scam sights and online critiques that follow a false narrative. It’s good to hear real experts, real interns, real students & professors etc. speak about issues and solutions regarding hearing and hearing aids.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beyond the Audiogram: Subclinical Hearing Loss with Dr. Christina M. Roup
Q: What should be included in a perfect audiogram design?
Normal hearing should be defined as 0 to 15 dBHL, and slight hearing loss should be applicable for all ages.
Matt Hay's Journey with an Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI)
Q: Did you ever get a cochlear implant?
I had evolved from in-the-canal aid to a behind-the-ear aid, but we determined a cochlear implant would only help in the short-term due to nerve deterioration, leading to discussions about an auditory brainstem implant instead.
Bridging Healthcare Gaps with Cultural Sensitivity feat. Dr. Kristina English
Q: Can you speak on cultural humility and how to integrate it into professional practice?
Cultural humility emphasizes understanding implicit biases and fostering genuine relationships with patients.
Chronic Medical Conditions and Hearing Loss with Dr. Gerda Maissel
Q: What are your thoughts on the relationship between MCI, dementia, and hearing loss?
There's a strong correlation between untreated hearing loss and an increased risk of dementia, making it essential for individuals to address their hearing health early.
Chronic Medical Conditions and Hearing Loss with Dr. Gerda Maissel
Q: What do you think about the relationship between diabetes and hearing loss?
Diabetes damages blood vessels over time, which can lead to hearing loss and other complications. It's crucial for patients to manage blood sugar levels to avoid long-term risks to hearing health.
