Episode 83: Hearing Wellness with Bill Schiffmiller

In this episode, we talk with Bill Schiffmiller, CEO of Akoio, about how hearing wellness is important for everyone— not just for people who experience hearing loss. Bill shares how learning to listen is deeper than just hearing. We discuss how sound and noise have a huge impact on our nervous system and how important it is to manage the sound and noise of our environment— even our technology notifications! There are many ways we can take control of sound in our physical environment and create more tranquility.

Continue the conversation with us on Instagram @OneWade and let us know what you are learning about your hearing wellness.
