305 - D.J. Demers on Comedy, Hearing Loss, and Finding the Funny

Comedian D.J. Demers joins Gael Hannan to explore the intersection of humor and hearing loss. Known for his appearances on America’s Got Talent, late-night talk shows, and his Canadian sitcom One More Time, Demers has built a career making audiences laugh while also normalizing conversations about hearing aids and everyday challenges of hearing loss.In this conversation, he shares how stand-up comedy helped shape his identity, the impact of portraying a hard-of-hearing character on television, and some of the awkward (and hilarious) moments that come with performing live. The discussion also touches on media representation, the evolving visibility of hearing loss, and Demers’ future projects.
