106 - Bringing better hearing to the people of the Dominican Republic - Interview with Antonio Esteban

106 - Bringing better hearing to the people of the Dominican Republic - Interview with Antonio Esteban

This week, host Amyn Amlani interviews Antonio Esteban, a hearing professional in the Dominican Republic, about how his son's hearing loss diagnosis inspired him and his wife to begin a foundation to help other families. Nearly two decades later, their foundation has helped change the lives of thousands of people with free hearing aids and hearing care services.

Antonio shares a number of incredible stories that are sure to leave you feeling inspired.

HHTM would also like to offer a special thank you to Redux, who stepped up after this interview to donate one of their professional hearing aid dryers to Antonio's clinic. Due to the high humidity in the Dominican Republic, hearing aids are much more susceptible to breakdown. Redux's unique approach to moisture removal can help prevent moisture related repairs and allow Antonio to better serve his patients: https://www.redux.com/hearing-instruments/
