190- Audiologist's Journey Living with Hearing Loss: Interview with Dr. Nashlea Brogan


Listen Later

This week, host Gael Hannan has an insightful discussion with audiologist Nashlea Brogan, AuD, about her personal experience with progressive hearing loss. Diagnosed as a teenager, Brogan went on to get hearing aids and eventually bilateral cochlear implants as her hearing worsened over time.

She shares openly about her journey, from struggling with hearing aid use in high school to the major identity shifts brought on by cochlear implantation.
Brogan provides a unique perspective as both an audiologist and person with hearing loss. She explains how her own challenges have given her empathy for patients and an understanding of real-world hearing difficulties beyond the clinic. She stresses the need to educate audiology students and professionals on the lived experiences of those with hearing loss. She discusses how she uses social media, speaking engagements, and monthly workshops to share her insights with both audiologists and those living with hearing loss.

Overall, Brogan aims to change perspectives and improve communication and support for all.
