Did you know we hear with our brains, not just our ears? Protecting your hearing matters more than you might think. Today, we’re joined by Dr. Kristy Lowery, a clinically certified audiologist to talk about how hearing loss doesn’t only happen later in life, and how everyday habits like headphone volume and concerts may impact long-term hearing health. She shares early signs people often ignore and small adjustments that make a real difference (keep an ear out for the 60–60 rule!). Plus, don’t miss the Ask Me Anything segment where she answers audience questions about sound sensitivity, if allergies might affect hearing, and over the counter headphones vs. hearing devices. This episode is brought to you in partnership with Audibel.
