In this episode…There is a large divide between medical advice from professionals and advice from other patients. While the expertise of audiologists is most important, it can be comforting to hear from other people struggling with hearing loss. Amanda Mason is experienced with her own hearing loss, having struggled with it since birth. She has overcome many challenges by receiving different hearing treatments and technology. Her story serves as a powerful and informed example for others, and now she shares that story with you. In this episode of the ListenUp!
