Finding Belonging When You’re Caught Between Two Worlds: Simon Houghton’s Story

Simon Houghton, a devoted advocate for deaf awareness, joins me this week to share his powerful journey of navigating life with hearing loss. We discuss how growing up with hearing aids made him feel caught between two worlds, never quite knowing where he fit in. Simon opens up about the challenges he faced during the pandemic when masks made communication even harder, heightening his sense of isolation. We also delve into his groundbreaking initiative, Unseen Aware, and how he’s working to create a more inclusive world for those with hidden disabilities.
