297 - From Recipient to Advocate: Angela Irwin’s Mission to Support Cochlear Implant Users

What happens when the technology that restores your hearing comes with ongoing costs that insurance often won’t cover? Angela Irwin—bilateral cochlear implant recipient, TEDx speaker, confidence coach, and founder of the Joyful Life Cochlear Implant Fund—shares her personal journey and why she’s working to ensure no one loses their hearing a second time due to equipment costs. In this in-depth conversation, Angela explains the hidden expenses of cochlear implant upkeep, from rechargeable batteries to obsolete components, and the emotional impact these challenges can have on recipients. She also discusses how her nonprofit not only provides financial assistance for essential equipment but also offers coaching and advocacy tools to help people navigate life with a cochlear implant, build confidence, and communicate their needs effectively.🔗 Learn more about the JLCIF: https://jlcif.org/Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn, Instagram and X.- https://x.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.instagram.com/thisweekinhearing/- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearing- https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/
