As someone who has worn headphone for nearly 30 years of a radio career and who plays in a band in loud venues, hearing protection is very important to me, so I called in an expert.

We have world-renowned hearing expert Professor De Wet Swanepoel to discuss the critical hearing issues facing many Americans. It’s estimated that 44 million Americans experience hearing loss, but only one-fifth get help.

Professor Swanepoel share some timely info about this serious issue that affects so many families.
