In this episode of The Psychoaudiology Podcast, audiologist and national hearing loop advocate Juliette Sterkens joins us to talk about one of the most overlooked aspects of hearing aid technology — what happens after you fit the hearing aids.

We explore:

• Why hearing aids don’t restore normal hearing

• The everyday challenges of hearing in noisy environments

• How hearing loops dramatically improve clarity and comprehension for hearing aid users

• The future potential of Auracast as a universal assistive listening solution

• Why accessibility in public spaces is still falling short

The episode opens with a short sound demo so you can hear the difference a hearing loop makes — a powerful experience for both professionals and the general public.
