Hearing aid advocacy is a difficult prospect since it often
overlaps with public perception. Even with the right information,
many individuals will still be hesitant to adopt the hearing
technology they need due to stigma. This is especially true with
children and young adults — so how do you help them see the
importance of hearing aids?
Stories and role models are a great tool for advocacy — they help
people feel less alone in their struggles and give a clear example
of someone who can succeed despite the obstacles. Keenan Tully has
dedicated himself to spreading awareness and using his personal
brand as a precedent for others.
In this episode of the ListenUp! Podcast, Dr. Mark Syms
