Guests: Shari Eberts - Hearing Health Advocate, HLAA Board Member, & Founder of LivingWithHearingLoss.com; Matt Hay - Hearing Health Advocate & Director of Audiology Sales at Redux 

Topic: Life with Hearing Loss during a Pandemic 

Shari and Matt join Dave to walk through their individual journeys from when they first discovered they had hearing loss to becoming advocates and champions for hearing health. 

Each share their perspectives on the challenges folks with hearing loss face as masks and zoom calls become normalized, and ways that we as a society can better accommodate for our large population of people with hearing loss. 

In addition, the three chat about technology and ways that it has proved beneficial for the hearing loss community.
