In this episode…Many people with hearing loss can feel disconnected from their audiologists. Since hearing is subjective and deeply personal, it can be hard to properly communicate their needs to someone who cannot relate. This is why some of the most understanding and effective audiologists are those with hearing problems themselves. Dr. Antonio Calderon experienced hearing loss and vertigo early in his life. It drove him to advocate for and train people to use hearing aids in their own life. His firsthand knowledge and clinical training makes him uniquely knowledgeable on the subject.
