This week, celebrity influencer and hearing advocate, Heather Thomson sits down with Shari Eberts to address the challenges and blessings of navigating hearing loss in children and empowering her son to own his hearing health as he enters adulthood.

Heather recently partnered with ReSound to raise awareness of the hearing loss stigma surrounding young adults and adolescents. During her time on The Real Housewives of New York City, Heather shared with fans her son Jax's health struggles, including a rare liver condition, severe food allergies, chronic lung issues, and hearing loss.
