Description

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.
