Ewa and Doug Tweedy, and Dr. Nancy M. Young, the Lillian Wells Professor of Pediatric Otolaryngology at the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, come together to discuss bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Nancy served as the principal investigator for a clinical trial examining the use of MED-EL's cochlear implants in young children with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Ewa and Doug's daughter, Ella, was born deaf in both ears and enrolled in the trial at seven months. The procedure and device have demonstrated safety and efficacy in supporting the development of listening and spoken language skills, with some surprising results. The Tweedy family emphasizes the importance of therapy and parental engagement in achieving positive outcomes, noting that Ella is excelling in a mainstream school.  Nancy explains, "Bilateral sensorineural hearing loss is permanent hearing loss. It arises from the inner ear. So we're not talking about temporary hearing loss from, say, fluid in the ear after a routine ear infection. So it usually arises from the inner ear, sometimes from the nerve of hearing. And it's often present at birth in certain children, but it can also have a later onset after birth." Ewa elaborates, "So, at the hospital right after her birth, we had someone come in to perform the newborn hearing screening, and we had two of those done one day after the next, and she did not pass either one of those. So they tried to tell us it might possibly be the fluid in the ears. So we just remained hopeful. But then, after a couple of weeks, we got her retested, again, and she did not pass. And then we went in for what Dr. Young referred to as the ADR so that diagnostic testing could be done for children. And there we found out that she did have the bilateral, so both sides, profound sensorineural hearing loss. We were told she was completely deaf." Doug continues, "I've had some passing information about it previously. I definitely was not an expert, definitely had not done the level of investigation and reading that I've done at this point. It was at least a familiarity to me. I do have a technologist background, so technology is something that has always been an interest to me, and cochlear implants are definitely a very unique technology." #MEDEL #CochlearImplants #Pediatrics #Audiology #ENT #EarlyIntervention #HearingHealth #SensorineuralHearingLoss #NeonatalCare #ChildDevelopment MEDEL.com Listen to the podcast here

For people living with hearing loss, navigating healthcare settings can be one of the most stressful communication challenges they face. In this panel discussion from the 6th Annual Future of Hearing Healthcare Conference, moderators Shari Eberts and Gael Hannan are joined by advocates Tony Iacolucci and Peggy Ellertsen to explore the urgent need for better communication access throughout the healthcare system.Together, they discuss the real-world barriers patients with hearing loss encounter during medical appointments, surgeries, emergency care, and telehealth visits — from limited awareness among providers to inconsistent accommodations and inaccessible communication practices. The conversation highlights the growing effort to improve healthcare accessibility through advocacy, education, technology, and systemic change.The panel also introduces the work behind Healthcare with Hearing Loss, an initiative focused on empowering patients, educating providers, and advancing practical solutions such as Communication Access Plans (CAPs), speech-to-text technology, and improved healthcare policies. Throughout the discussion, the speakers emphasize that effective communication in healthcare is not just about convenience — it is essential for patient safety, dignity, and quality of care.To learn more and access additional resources mentioned during the discussion, visit:https://www.healthcarewithhearingloss.com/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/

On this episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, host Ed "Flash" Ferenc welcomes Dr. Michael MacDonald, director of audiology, and Rick Renna, chief growth officer of Birdsong Hearing Benefits. More than 22 million American workers face hazardous noise levels on the job, yet fewer than 16% of adults with hearing loss use hearing aids. MacDonald and Renna break down the severe economic, physical and psychological toll this takes on union tradespeople, noting that untreated hearing loss often results in an annual wage gap of roughly $12,000. Key topics discussed include: The Career Toll: Why workers quietly pass on union leadership roles and trustee posts to avoid exposing their hearing limitations. The Safety Risk: How operating in high-noise environments causes physical fatigue and drives workers' compensation claims up to 33% higher annually. The Mental Health Connection: Recognizing Mental Health Awareness Month by exploring the link between untreated hearing loss, social isolation and cognitive decline. Eroding the Stigma: How modern, Bluetooth-enabled discrete tech is changing the perception of hearing aids for younger workers.

This Deaf Awareness Week, we welcome Samantha Baines to the podcast to explore what it's like living with hearing loss and deafness. Samantha is an award-winning actress, comedian and broadcaster who discovered she was deaf nearly 10 years ago and now advocates for accessibility. Samantha shares practical insights, challenges misconceptions, and explores what meaningful accessibility looks like in everyday life and in education. They discuss: The language that deaf communities prefer (and why words matter). How to make meetings, classrooms and public spaces more accessible. The role of BSL interpreters, captions and lip-speaking (and why "one size fits all" doesn't work). Practical ideas schools can apply. "People just assume deaf equals absolutely no hearing.

First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with drug companies and their pricing for medications, with most companies being headquartered hear in the US, yet Americans are charged far more for the same drugs as other countries. Next up, the FDA's approval for the first at-home cervical cancer screening, a bar code scanner helps consumers know what's really in their food and cosmetics, and how cinnamon might help our bodies absorb medication. When it comes to hearing aids, there is a problem with people getting older and experiencing loneliness, occurring mostly because they can't hear well enough to maintain essential, social connections. It appears to be a real problem with hearing aids countering an epidemic of loneliness among senior citizens. So, why do so many people, who are hard of hearing, refuse the help of modern hearing aids?In unfortunate medical news, there is a rise in adult patients becoming addicted to opioids with a new study confirming the drug use. The number of Americans using illicit opioids is 20x higher than previously estimated, with 11% of American adults report illicit opioid use within the last 12 months. Doug and Dr. Ken continue on with addressing listener questions, including supplements like Vitamin D and B12, addressing why the focus on these two supplements over any others. Vitamin D and B12 are essential for energy metabolism, immune system strengthening, and neurological health. They work together to improve gut health, with B12 supporting stomach acid production and D3 balancing the microbiome. Key benefits include improved cognitive function, bone health, nerve protection, and reduced fatigue, with combined supplementation often improving balance.

What does it take to compete at the highest level of sport while growing up with hearing loss?In this conversation, U.S. ski jumper Estella Hassrick shares her journey—from being diagnosed with hereditary cochlear dysplasia at age three to competing on the U.S. national team. She discusses the realities of hearing loss in high-performance sports, including the challenges of wearing hearing aids under a helmet, navigating school and training environments, and adapting along the way.Estella also reflects on how hearing technology has evolved over her lifetime, her experience working with audiologists, and the role of support systems—including her partnership with Widex. Throughout the discussion, she offers perspective on resilience, identity, and what it means to pursue ambitious goals while managing hearing loss.Her message is clear: hearing loss may change the path—but it doesn't define the outcome.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/Audio podcast can be found on all major platforms, including Apple & Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thisweekinhearing

What if preventing hearing loss wasn't just about PPE… but about truly understanding how people experience it?In this episode, we sit down with Jenn Holliday, CIH, to unpack a powerful real-world case study on occupational noise exposure, and how a shift in thinking led to measurable results.Jenn walks us through a scenario many safety professionals know all too well: high noise environments, reliance on hearing protection, and the challenge of ensuring it actually works in practice, not just on paper.In this conversation, we explore:Why traditional hearing protection approaches often fall shortThe difference between NRR and real-world protectionHow HPFT can proactively prevent hearing loss (even though it's not required)Practical ways to integrate fit testing into your programAnd how small changes can unlock big cultural shiftsThis is a must-listen for safety professionals who want to move beyond compliance and create real, measurable impact.Jenn Holliday: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennholliday/

A recent study found that people under 70 with hearing loss who used hearing aids had a 61% lower risk of dementia — and that kind of headline is hard to ignore. But does that mean hearing aids will protect your loved one from dementia? In this episode, Teepa and Greg take a closer look at what the research actually tells us, why hearing loss may be an early identifier of brain change rather than a cause, and what truly helpful communication looks like — with or without hearing aids.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Regeneron has recently achieved a pivotal milestone with the FDA's approval of its hearing loss gene therapy, Otarmeni. This approval, facilitated through the FDA's Commissioner's National Priority Voucher Program, emphasizes the expanding recognition of gene therapies as essential therapeutic modalities. Otarmeni stands out as it directly targets an underlying genetic cause of hearing loss, marking a significant advancement in audiological medicine. Traditionally, hearing loss has been managed with hearing aids or cochlear implants, which do not address the root cause. Otarmeni represents a transformative approach by correcting genetic deficiencies, offering patients a chance for improved auditory function. This achievement not only highlights Regeneron's innovative capabilities but also sets a precedent encouraging other companies to explore genetic disorder treatments. Eli Lilly's development of AK-OTOF, targeting otoferlin deficiencies crucial for auditory processes, further signifies robust competition in this space. Currently under Phase 1/2 clinical trials, AK-OTOF is anticipated to continue research efforts until 2028. These advancements illustrate a promising pipeline of treatments that could potentially revolutionize patient care. The regulatory landscape is adapting to accommodate such novel therapies, with programs like the FDA's National Priority Voucher Program playing a crucial role in expediting access to groundbreaking treatments. From a scientific perspective, therapies like Otarmeni underscore the importance of understanding genetic mechanisms in disease pathogenesis. By modifying faulty genes within cells, these therapies offer hope not only for hearing loss but for a range of genetic disorders as well. Turning our attention to Novo Nordisk's progress with oral semaglutide for adolescent Type 2 diabetes; the company has announced positive clinical trial results extending its use beyond obesity treatment. This development is significant given the increasing prevalence of Type 2 diabetes among younger populations. Oral GLP-1 receptor agonists could revolutionize diabetes management by providing an alternative to injections, potentially improving compliance and quality of life for patients. In regulatory practices, there is a growing call for transparency. A citizen petition urges the FDA to refine disclosure protocols concerning Complete Response Letters (CRLs), aligning with industry demands for clarity in drug approval processes. Enhanced transparency could lead to more efficient regulatory pathways and strengthen trust between pharmaceutical companies and regulators. Roche's recent earnings report reveals challenges beyond currency fluctuations, as several key drugs underperformed against expectations. This raises questions about Roche's strategic positioning amid intense competition and market dynamics. Conversely, AbbVie's $1.4 billion investment in North Carolina to establish a new production base highlights strategic expansions aimed at meeting rising pharmaceutical demand. Technological innovation continues shaping industry strategies with Merck & Co.'s collaboration with Google Cloud aimed at enhancing AI capabilities—a $1 billion initiative focusing on transforming healthcare professional engagement through data analytics and AI insights. Such collaborations are likely to optimize marketing strategies and improve patient outcomes by facilitating personalized healthcare interactions. Meanwhile, Sanofi's defense of Dupixent amid R&D setbacks exemplifies how breakthrough biologics can drive revenue growth despite challenges. These developments highlight an industry undergoing transformation towards transparency, innovative treatments, strategic expansion, and technological adoption—promisingSupport the show

In this episode of Brain Bytes, host Kelly Tremblay, PhD, neuroscientist and hearing and brain health expert, explores the powerful—and often overlooked—connection between hearing and the brain.  In recognition of World Hearing Day on March 3, Dr. Kelly sheds light on why hearing health is critical to overall well-being, especially for older adults. Hearing loss is one of the leading causes of years lived with disability worldwide, affecting one in three adults over 65. But, as Dr. Kelly explains, it's not simply an inevitable part of aging—lifestyle factors, environmental exposure, and even certain medical treatments can play a significant role. This episode illuminates why hearing loss is closely linked to brain health and cognitive decline, how untreated hearing loss can contribute to social isolation and increased dementia risk, and how to recognize early signs of hearing loss. Dr. Kelly examines how hearing is not just about the ears, it's a brain function, and why early detection and intervention can significantly improve quality of life, communication, and cognitive health.

Hearing loss affects millions of people across all ages—but you wouldn't know it from mainstream media. New data from a multi-country survey reveals just how rarely hearing aids and cochlear implants are seen in everyday media—and how often those portrayals miss the mark.Andrew Bellavia speaks with Ceri Whittaker, Senior External Relations Manager at GN, who leads communications around initiatives like GN's “New Norm,” and John Lucchese, founder of NS Audiology, an independent hearing clinic in Sydney, Australia, with nearly two decades of clinical experience serving a diverse patient population.Together, they explore how media representation shapes perceptions of hearing loss—from outdated stereotypes to underrepresentation—and why improving visibility may be key to helping more people recognize hearing loss and seek support earlier.The New Norm image library is available here: https://unsplash.com/@gnhearingglobalBe 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/

Some musicians learn the blues. Others are raised inside it.Today I sit down with Doyle Bramhall II, one of the most distinctive voices in modern blues guitar and contemporary roots music. Raised in Texas as the son of legendary musician Doyle Bramhall, he grew up surrounded by the raw musical energy of the Austin music scene, absorbing the sounds of blues and rock from an early age.Doyle has built a remarkable career as a guitarist, vocalist, composer, and producer, collaborating with artists including Eric Clapton, Elton John, Gary Clark Jr., Dr. John, Gregg Allman, Sheryl Crow, and Erykah Badu. His playing style is instantly recognizable, partly because he plays left-handed with a guitar strung for a right-handed player and flipped upside down.We dive into the fascinating origins of his musical journey, including the moment when a visit from someone special inspired him to take the guitar seriously. Doyle shares his insight into his personal work developing the Ultimate Breakthrough, a process designed to support energetic and consciousness shifts aligned with one's purpose.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[07:53] Growing up inside the Austin blues scene[17:03] How playing guitar upside down led to the Eric Clapton gig[38:54] From the Fabulous Thunderbirds to the Archangels[44:05] How Stevie's death sent Doyle into a two-year heroin spiral[57:51] What made Sly Stone one of the most innovative artists who ever lived[01:23:46] Staying sober while working with plant medicine[01:35:14] The chain of synchronicities that led Doyle from isolation to his life's calling[01:55:23] How Doyle's healing practice works and happens during a session[02:07:55] The three influences that shaped Doyle as a musicianRelated The Life Stylist Episodes:Not Just For Sleep: Melatonin | The Master Molecule + Next Level Biohacks w/ Dr. John Lieurance | PodcastThe Future Of Chronic Pain & Injury Healing W/ Drs.

Students at 16 high schools around the country will have their hearing tested during March; hearing awareness month. The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Foundation's screening programme started with five secondary schools in 2019 and is aiming to reach 100 this year. It's found large numbers of teenagers are experiencing tinnitus or ringing in their ears and many of them are plugged into headphone or earbuds for hours everyday. Deaf and Hard of Hearing Foundation chief executive Natasha Gallardo spoke to Lisa Owen.

Time now for our daily Tech and Business Report. Today, KCBS Radio News Anchor Holly Quan spoke with Bloomberg's Miquéla V Thornton. It turns out that fitness class might put one specific aspect of your health at risk.

Send a textThe quietest moments often matter most—like a morning “good day” you can't hear or a whispered joke that never lands. We sat down with writer and hearing loss advocate, Gael Hannan, to explore how hearing loss reshapes intimacy and what it takes to bring ease back into everyday connection. From the first minutes of the day to late-night check-ins, she shows why small, intentional shifts can rebuild closeness when spontaneity fades.Gael breaks down “purpose-driven communication,” a practical way to design conversations so they actually work: devices on, lights up, noise down, faces visible, and a pace that respects processing time. We talk about rituals that reduce friction—no talking until connected, choosing quieter corners, planning short debriefs—and why structure can restore the very flow couples miss. She shares candid stories that resonate: the temptation to remove a hearing aid during physical intimacy, a partner's gentle push to keep it in, and how that single request deepened safety, feedback, and mutual presence.We dive into the power of nonverbal communication—touch, eye contact, posture—and how visual cues carry meaning when words drop out. Gael's humor (yes, including the glow-in-the-dark lipstick misadventure) makes room for real solutions, from remote microphones to simple environmental tweaks. Beyond devices, we highlight the role of aural rehabilitation, community support, and clinicians who ask the right questions about home life, partners, and the moments that matter. The goal shifts from perfect hearing to shared understanding, which is where intimacy truly lives.If hearing loss has introduced distance in your relationship, this conversation offers a way back: be present, don't bluff, create quiet spaces, and make connection the point.

Send a textA high-pitched dental drill and suction shouldn't drown out the most important sound in the room: a patient's voice. Blaise Delfino sits down with Dr. Michael Walker (dentist) and Dr. Jamie Hand (audiologist) to unravel how modern hearing protection can quiet drills and suction without muting crucial communication, and why tinnitus may be the first warning sign long before a hearing test shows a shift. The result is a practical, evidence-informed guide for anyone working in a noisy environment. First, we compare everyday foam or silicone plugs with active devices like SoundGear Phantoms. You'll hear what changes chairside when the noise floor drops but speech is preserved: faster coordination with assistants, fewer breaks to de-glove, and smoother, safer procedures. We dig into real-world workflow differences across restorative and surgical cases, and how open-bay designs compound exposure when multiple tools run at once.Next, we unpack fresh survey findings from hundreds of dentists that reveal a striking pattern: tinnitus reports are higher than expected even when self-reported hearing loss seems average. We explore why delayed testing and ultra-high-frequency damage can mask early decline, making tinnitus a critical cue for prevention. From cumulative exposure science to the limits of standard audiometry, we outline what professionals should watch for and how to act sooner.Finally, we get tactical. We talk fit, comfort, and hygiene, and lay out when to choose active hearing protection for continuous communication versus passive, high‑fidelity options or semi-insert bands for assistants on the move. We also highlight a culture shift in training: pairing dental and audiology programs to normalize protection, teach proper fitting, and make hearing health part of everyday PPE.If you practice in a noisy clinic—or care about someone who does—this is your playbook for protecting hearing without sacrificing clarity or care.

Welcome back to Birds of a Feather Talk Together—and welcome to our first new episode of 2026! After wrapping up our deep dive into ducks, we're kicking off the new year by doing something a little different: each of us brings a favorite science story from 2025 to the table, along with a look ahead at what we're most excited about in 2026.Join John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, and Amanda Pole for a wide-ranging conversation. We talk about juncos, robots in science, and how new research is shaping the way we study birds and understand the natural world.This episode also features a meaningful and candid update from Shannon on her cochlear implant surgery—how hearing restoration technology has impacted her daily life, her work as a scientist, and the way she experiences sound in her every day life. If you're a cochlear implant recipient, hearing-aid user, audiology professional, or someone interested in accessibility in science, this conversation offers a personal and insightful perspective you won't want to miss.As always, there's plenty of bird talk, thoughtful science discussion, and a sense of curiosity about where the next year will take us—both personally and professionally.Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow: YouTube Instagram TikTok BlueSky

Send us a textA quieter problem carries loud consequences: when hearing loss goes untreated, risks rise for cognitive decline, cardiovascular strain, and falls. We pull that chain into the light and show how one change—adopting hearing technology earlier—can shift the long‑term outlook. With better devices, rising satisfaction, and less stigma, the path to clearer sound and stronger health is getting shorter and friendlier.We walk through fresh insights from MarkeTrak 2025, including how consumers perceive prescription hearing aids, what over‑the‑counter devices get right, and where they fall short. The data is clear: satisfaction is high across the board, but loyal users value the guidance of a hearing care professional, especially for the hardest tasks—accurate assessment, the right device selection, and real troubleshooting. We explore why counseling and expectation setting matter as much as hardware, and how theory of mind helps clinicians solve problems that algorithms miss, like clarity in noise and the fatigue of constant listening effort.Access still matters, and OTC can be a smart on‑ramp—if it connects people to support when they need it. That's where community steps in. Friends, family, and colleagues influence the first move, while clinics can demystify the journey with quick, transparent demos of an annual hearing test. We share practical ways to normalize hearing care as part of total well‑being—physical, emotional, and mental—so taking action feels positive and routine.

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.

My guest is Konstantina Stankovic, MD, PhD, Professor and Chair of Otolaryngology at Stanford School of Medicine. She explains how hearing works and why hearing loss—affecting over 1.5 billion people—impacts people of all ages. We discuss how hearing loss impairs focus and increases the risk of cognitive decline, as well as the role of menopause and other biological milestones in hearing health. We share science-backed protocols to protect your hearing and highlight risks to avoid. And we discuss tinnitus—its causes and treatment options.
