This week, host Shari Eberts is joined by fitness icon, Lou Ferrigno. While he is best known for his role in the TV series, The Incredible Hulk, Ferrigno has also for years been an inspiration to many in the hard of hearing community. 

In 2021, Lou underwent cochlear implant surgery.  In this interview, Lou talks about how his experience as a child with hearing loss and being bullied help shape his life and career. Having to work harder in the face of adversity ultimately led Lou to a successful career in bodybuilding and later as an actor.
