Ever wondered how to shift your focus from hearing better to communicating better? In our latest episode, we are joined by Shari Eberts, a passionate hearing loss advocate and co-author, who shares her heartfelt journey with hearing loss, which began in her mid-20s. Influenced by her father's struggles, she opens up about accepting her hearing loss, facing societal stigma, and the power of maintaining a positive mental attitude. Tune in as we explore her empowering approach to managing hearing loss and the pivotal role of embracing vulnerability.

Shari discusses the creation of her book "Hear and Beyond: Live Skillfully with Hearing Loss," co-authored with Gael Hannan. Listen as she shares her excitement about fulfilling her dream of writing a book and how it serves as a gentle first step for those hesitant to seek professional help. We talk about finding the right hearing healthcare provider and the importance of proactive hearing loss management to avoid social isolation and enrich one's quality of life. Her heartfelt advice will inspire you to take that crucial first step toward reconnecting with the people, places, and activities you love.
