222 - The Impact of Hearing Loss on Family Relationships


Listen Later

Tamra Dale, a former finance executive and now a dedicated stay-at-home mother, shares her challenging journey with hearing loss and its impact on her family life. Tamra first noticed her hearing difficulties in her early 30s, which led her to seek professional help. Despite initial setbacks with inadequate professional support and suboptimal hearing aids, her determination to stay present for her children drove her to find better solutions.

In 2023, Tamra was evaluated at HearUSA and ultimately fitted with a set of advanced Signia hearing aids. Her new devices have drastically improved her ability to engage in family activities and maintain strong connections with her children.

Tamra's son, Austin, joins the discussion, sharing his perspective on growing up with a mother experiencing hearing loss and how their family adapted and supported each other.
