172 - Time to drop the 'S-word'? Darleen Wilson on why the hearing industry should end focus on stigma

This week, Brian Taylor sits down with Darleen Wilson, a writer, musician, and hearing health advocate. Darleen shares her unique journey from being a musician and recording engineer to becoming an advocate for hearing loss. She believes that the hearing industry focuses too heavily on stigma (the S-word) and that this has a negative impact on public perception surrounding hearing loss and use of hearing aids. She offers her thoughts on how she believes hearing professionals can better serve those with hearing loss and emphasizes the value of listening in our noisy world.
