124 - The Power of Hearing Loops: A Conversation with Juliette Sterkens and Susan Taulia

This week, Dave Kemp sits down with Juliette Sterkens, AuD, and Susan Taulia, AuD, to about hearing loops. Dr. Sterkens is the HLAA National Hearing Loop Advocate and Dr. Taulia is a private practice owner in Lafayette, Indiana.    A hearing loop is a technology that wirelessly transmits audio signals directly to a hearing aid's telecoil, providing clear and high-quality sound with low interference from background noise. It is commonly used in public places such as auditoriums, theaters, and churches to improve accessibility for people with hearing loss.  Dr. Sterkens explains that hearing loops are not just about the technology but helping patients with hearing aids who are unable to receive sound in noisy environments. Dr. Taulia talks about her experience advocating for loops in her community and hosting an event with Dr. Sterkens. The video provides an introduction to hearing loops and their benefits for those with hearing loss.   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest episodes each week, and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn and Twitter:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearing/ https://twitter.com/WeekinHearing
