The Power of Self-Advocacy: Emily Haber Davila’s Hearing Loss Journey
Q: But at what moment did you decide that hearing was more than something that you dealt with personally, but wanted to be an advocate for? And what are you doing now?
She describes recognizing advocacy as a lifelong process that starts with personal experience and extends to helping others through education, access, and the promotion of technologies like Starkey devices. She details current efforts in sharing her story, collaborating with Starkey, and encouraging others—especially musicians and everyday wearers—to pursue better hearing and greater inclusion.
The Power of Self-Advocacy: Emily Haber Davila’s Hearing Loss Journey
Q: Well, so much to unpack there. First of all, can I ask a couple of questions about your first learning or your parents' learning that you had a hearing loss at the age of four?
Davila explains that hearing loss is often invisible and that initial reactions varied, including misinterpretations by family who thought she had an attitude. She emphasizes how early identification and subsequent access to hearing aids transformed family dynamics and her life, recounting a four-year timeline from discovery to fitting and the long-term impact on her development and family.
Men’s Hearing Health: Athlete Tyson Gillies on Hearing Loss, Confidence & Omega AI
Q: What do you see in terms of advances in hearing technology and how they affect your performance on the field or ice?
Technology has made hearing aids more water-resistant, compact, and capable, with features like 360 hearing sense and edge mode that improve focus in loud environments, which translates to greater confidence and better on-field communication.
