Send us a textIn this episode of the Brandon T. Adams Audio Experience, I sat down with Kristy Whilden, author of Alice's Colorful New World, founder of Hands Up Silent Theater, and a powerful advocate for the Deaf community. What began as a devastating diagnosis that stripped away her identity as a music teacher became the catalyst for a mission that's impacting families, children, and schools around the world.Kristy opens up about the moment she learned she was losing her hearing, the depression that followed, and how she rebuilt her life with a new sense of purpose. Today, she's on a mission to create equal, inclusive theater experiences for both Deaf and hearing audiences while sharing the true origin story of American Sign Language through her new children's book, Alice's Colorful New World!In this episode we talk about:How Kristy went from music teacher to losing her hearingThe emotional journey of identity, loss, and rediscoveryThe creation of Hands Up Silent Theater and its missionWhy typical interpreted theater isn't truly “equal access”The real, incredible history behind the birth of American Sign LanguageKristy's goal to sell one million books to support the American School for the Deaf
Hearing loss stigma continues to be one of the biggest barriers to seeking help — even as awareness and technology improve. In this discussion, host Shari Eberts speaks with Dr. Katie Ekberg (Flinders University) and Dr. Louise Hickson (University of Queensland) about their research on hearing loss stigma — exploring how social perceptions, disclosure dilemmas, and outdated stereotypes affect help-seeking and hearing aid adoption.The conversation examines the difference between how patients, families, and clinicians view stigma, the impact of humor and self-advocacy in communication, and why changing the conversation around hearing loss—not just hearing aids—is vital to improving outcomes for millions of adults.**Research reference: Ekberg, K., & Hickson, L.

My guest is Dr. Jennifer Groh, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University. She explains how our brain encodes sights and sounds and integrates them so we can navigate and understand the world around us. She explains what thoughts really are and how what you focus on determines your thoughts, not just in that moment but your future thoughts too. We discuss this in the context of how to improve your level of focus and happiness and how to complete tasks and task-switch more effectively. We also discuss how you can rewire the neural circuits that underlie your default patterns of thinking and attention.

Andrew Bellavia joined Phonak ambassadors — Olympian Aaron Small and pro skier Robin Gillon — on stage to share honest conversations about hearing loss, stigma, and the role technology plays in staying connected — on and off the field. Both athletes spoke candidly about the challenges they've faced, how hearing aids have supported their performance and confidence, and the importance of visibility and advocacy in breaking down outdated perceptions of hearing loss.Their conversation underscored how access to hearing technology can empower individuals in every aspect of life — from communication and safety to identity and self-belief. The discussion took place during Phonak's EUHA 2025 announcement of its new Audéo Infinio Ultra hearing aid, highlighting the connection between innovation, advocacy, and lived experience within the hearing community.Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn, Instagram and X.- https://x.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.instagram.com/thisweekinhearing/- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearingVisit us at: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/

Untreated hearing loss can silently drain your health, confidence, and finances. Learn how early screening and today's hearing aids can change your life. To see the video edition of this episode with closed captioning, please go to
Send us a textDementia is rising, and the toll is personal, social, and economic. From there, we move into a conversation that blends hard data with real life—how hearing loss can quietly erode connection, increase cognitive load, and, according to leading research, contribute to higher dementia risk. Karla Hult joins us with her father's story—an athlete, a community helper, a devoted dad whose final years were shaped by Alzheimer's—and shows how love, grief, and action can coexist without false hope.We break down what the science actually says. The Lancet Commission identifies hearing loss as a leading midlife, modifiable risk factor for dementia. The ACHIEVE study adds nuance: while not all participants saw cognitive gains, a high‑risk subgroup (older adults with cardiovascular risk) experienced significant preservation across cognitive measures when using hearing aids. Everyone, though, benefited socially—less loneliness and richer networks—reminding us that better hearing is not just about volume, it's about vitality. We also demystify genetics and testing: APOE-e4 indicates risk, not destiny, and newer blood tests detect disease only after it starts. That context helps listeners choose action over anxiety.This conversation is practical. We talk about cognitive load at noisy restaurants, the “cocktail party” effect, and how chronic listening strain pushes people to opt out of the moments that keep brains active. We tackle stigma head-on: today's hearing aids are discreet, smart, and designed for real life. For clinicians, we offer a compassionate playbook—lead with connection, avoid cure claims, suggest appropriate cognitive screening, and never leave families without resources. For anyone with family history or early signs of hearing trouble, the message is clear: protect your connections. Get a hearing check, consider amplification when needed, and double down on heart‑brain health habits that keep you engaged with the people and places you love.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find these insights.

Cochlear implants are leading a revolution in the treatment of hearing loss. According to a 2022 study, only about 10% of those who qualify for cochlear implants have received them. Cost, accessibility, and lack of awareness are only some roadblocks for potential patients. At Pacific Neuroscience Institute, Dr. Courtney Voelker and Dr. Chester Griffiths are working to change that. Dr. Voelker is recognized as one of the nation's top cochlear implant surgeons, with patients as young as five months old. Dr. Griffiths is the founder of Pacific Head & Neck, a premier clinic in Los Angeles. Because hearing loss is the leading modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline, addressing it is vital. Tune in to hear how these two doctors are raising awareness about cochlear implants and making a difference in people's lives.

In this week's episode, Rex talks with otolaryngologist Dr. Susan Emmett from UAMS about the dangers of hearing loss and the need for specialized care in rural communities throughout Arkansas, especially for K-12 students. The conversation begins with Susan telling Rex about her journey to become an otolaryngologist and how she worked on Capitol Hill with former Tennessee Senator Bill Frist before attending Duke University's School of Medicine. Susan explains to Rex that she became interested in hearing loss during medical school when she studied abroad in East Africa while doing pediatric HIV research. Susan tells Rex that many of the children she cared for during that time suffered from hearing loss and impacted their ability to study in school. Susan explains that hearing loss is much more common than one might think – stating that it affects approximately 684,000 Arkansans or nearly 1 in 4 people – and most people do not even realize they suffer from it. Susan and Rex discuss several contributing factors specific to Arkansans that play a role in the state's high rate of hearing loss, such as noisy farm equipment and hunting rifles. The economic impacts of hearing loss, Susan tells Rex, stems from children not receiving the proper care and testing as well as the limited number of resources capable of identifying and treating hearing loss early on. She says that statistics indicate that children suffering from hearing loss can lead to behavioral problems, and that such children are three times more likely to repeat a grade and three times less likely to graduate from high school. In effect, long-term issues for those who develop hearing loss includes limited job opportunities, increased risk of unemployment and a higher risk of developing dementia. In this episode, Susan also highlights challenges and barriers associated with hearing-related healthcare in rural Arkansas communities as well as innovative programs that UAMS is developing to mitigate those barriers. She also mentions intitiatives on behalf of the National Institutes of Health to bolster telehealth models, software developments and newer, more portable testing devices for those living in rural communities. Susan explains that these new resources will allow many more children to receive hearing-related treatment and much faster healthcare delivery.

What if a regenerative therapy could not only halt sudden hearing loss but also help the inner ear repair itself? Dr. Reimar Schlingensiepen, CEO of Berlin-based biotech AudioCure, joins Brian Taylor to discuss AC102, the company's lead compound now in Phase 2 clinical trials for sudden sensorineural hearing loss. With limited treatment options available today, the drug is being closely watched as a potential breakthrough in hearing healthcare.Dr. Schlingensiepen explains why sudden hearing loss should be treated as a medical emergency, the shortcomings of current steroid-based approaches, and how AC102 works at the cellular level to prevent programmed cell death and restore critical connections in the auditory system. He also highlights the progress of ongoing clinical trials and discusses how AC102 could potentially improve outcomes for patients undergoing cochlear implant surgery by reducing insertion-related trauma.The discussion further touches on broader applications, including recent preclinical findings published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. In that study, AC102 nearly eliminated tinnitus symptoms in an animal model of acoustic trauma while supporting repair of damaged synaptic connections in the inner ear. These results point to the potential for regenerative medicine to reshape treatment of auditory disorders that remain poorly served today.Reference for recently published study on AC102: Tziridis K, Rasheed J, Kwiatkowska M, Wright M, Schlingensiepen R.
