068 - Meteorologist Meaghan Thomas on Going Public with Hearing Loss and Providing Support to Those in Need

This week, host Shari Eberts is joined by broadcast meteorologist Meaghan Thomas. From the WKRN TV studios in Nashville, Meaghan Thomas speaks to nearly three million people everyday. But when the broadcast meteorologist posted recently on social media about overcoming hearing loss through her new hearing aids, her viewers spoke back. Within days, she received dozens of messages from those with hearing loss who share similar challenges in both personal and professional settings.

Today, Meaghan proudly wears Signia Pure Charge&Go AX hearing aids, which utilize two split processors to "simultaneously enhance nearby sounds while de-emphasizing background noise". Meaghan says she can now hear what's necessary in the studio or at home with friends and family without picking up unnecessary sounds.

In this interview, Meaghan talks about her experience as a child with hearing loss, her experience being fitted with hearing aids for the first time, her experience with Signia Pure Charge&Go AX hearing aids, and how she’s giving back to the community through her own nonprofit organization, The Heart of Hearing, to help young professionals get the hearing assistance they need.
