Welcome to Ears to the Ground, an internal podcast series celebrating the people behind Cochlear North America's mission to transform lives through hearing. 

In this first episode, we sit down with teammates Tiffany Hill and Yaney Alvarado, who serve as the voice of Cochlear for recipients, families, and healthcare providers reaching out with questions, concerns, and needs. 

Tiffany and Yaney take us behind the scenes of the frontline work that directly shapes patient experiences and outcomes — from troubleshooting device issues and navigating insurance questions to providing reassurance during moments of uncertainty. Their work reminds us that every call, every interaction, and every solution matters in supporting the people who depend on our technology to hear the world around them.
