In this episode…
We were all taught from a young age to brush our teeth as a basic part of hygiene. There are clear benefits to preserving your teeth and consequences when they are neglected. However, this same mentality is rarely shown towards our own hearing. It’s only once we’ve experienced hearing loss that we attempt to reverse the damage and by then it’s too late. So how do you help people prevent hearing loss?
Dr. Jodi Sasaki-Miraglia has worked in audiology, hearing
education, and healthcare. She sees the issue as similar to other
hygiene and deserving of the same attention. This includes regular
check-ups, protective measures, and increased awareness. She has
joined the movement to help others preserve their hearing and
explains the best ways to do so.
Dr. Mark Syms invites Dr. Jodi Sasaki-Miraglia, the Director of
Professional Education for Widex, on this episode of the
ListenUp! Podcast to talk about what hearing hygiene looks
like in practice. They discuss the current issues in hearing
healthcare and the campaigns that have been started to counteract
them. They also touch on Dr. Sasaki-Miraglia’s career and her
perspective on hearing health.
