Ep 35 “I Hear You… But Can’t Understand” | How Music and the Arts Help Veterans with PTSD & TBI

What if you can hear everything… but still can’t understand what’s being said? In this episode of The Roundtable: Where Heroes Talk, we explore how PTSD and TBI affect how veterans process sound, focus, and communication. Our guests are therapists Danielle Vetro-Kalseth and Logan Walton who share how music and the arts are being used to support healing. We break down the difference between hearing and understanding — and why it impacts everyday life. From rhythm and repetition to creative expression, these tools help retrain the brain. We also look at how these programs are reaching more veterans and making a real-world impact. As songwriting musicians working with veterans, this conversation offers powerful insight into how music can make a difference. Keep the conversation going… and keep honoring our heroes. Hosts: Tom Lamog and Matthew Jones
