Living with hearing loss—and helping others understand and navigate it in real life.

11/05/2026

The people around you can’t see when you’re struggling to hear.

Hearing loss is invisible. And it’s sneaky. You might hear fine at home, then struggle in a busy restaurant. Nobody can see that shift. They only know if you tell them.
So speak up in the moment. Name the situation, and say what would help:

“It’s really noisy for me tonight.”
“Can we sit somewhere quieter?”

That’s self-advocacy: getting comfortable saying what you need. And comfort comes with practice. Even for me, after years with hearing loss. 💛

Send this to someone who’s still getting comfortable.

Halloween has always been a struggle for me as someone with hearing loss. 🎃

In my twenties, it was going to parties and struggling to follow conversations in the dark, especially when everyone was wearing masks.

Then I became a mom, taking my young kids trick-or-treating and trying to understand what their little friends were saying.

And now, I’m the person handing out candy on my front step, with trick-or-treaters assuming I can recognize their voices behind their costumes.

Every stage of life has brought new challenges, greater awareness, and emotional lessons about living with hearing loss that I never learned in audiology school.

And every stage has taught me something new about what it feels like to be included, misunderstood, or simply overlooked.

So tonight, as you head out trick-or-treating, attend a party, or welcome little visitors to your door, please remember that you never know what someone else might be navigating.

Be kind. Be intentional. Be inclusive. 🧡

Happy Halloween! 🎃

I wore these little hearts on my cochlear implants to speak at the Boston Tinnitus Summit, where I shared a part of my story many people don’t know.

For more than twenty years, I lived with tinnitus as I slowly lost all my hearing. Night after night, I would lie there listening to it, thinking, “There goes another little bit of me.”

I hoped my cochlear implants would help me hear better. I didn’t know they would also bring relief from tinnitus.

It’s now been a decade without it.

Life-changing? Yes. And I still remember what those nights felt like. ❤️

We put so much thought into getting everyone around the table. Once we’re there, how do we help each other stay part of the conversation?

The catching up. The stories. The laughs. That’s what we’re coming together for.

But the more people at the table, the more voices and conversations there are to keep track of—for everyone.

And a few things we might never connect with listening can make a difference:

🍂 If music is playing, bringing it down can make conversation easier to follow—even if we love the song.

🍂 If the lights are dimmed, a little more light helps us see the faces and expressions that help us follow words.

🍂 If we’re gathering in an open-concept home, sounds from the kitchen and living room can reach the table, too. Where we sit can make a difference.

We don’t always recognize what’s getting in the way. And we won’t always know who’s finding it difficult—or whether they feel comfortable saying so.

That’s where we can look out for each other.

“Can you follow everyone from here?”

“Let me catch you up—we’re talking about…”

“Would you like me to ask with you?”

Small moments of support can help us stay involved without leaving one person to figure everything out alone.

This Canadian Thanksgiving, and at any gathering—let’s bring some of the care we put into the meal into the conversation, too.

Connection grows when we make it easier for each other to be part of the conversation.

Happy Thanksgiving. 🍂

Happy World Audiologist Day 💖

10/10/2026

Audiologists have changed my life. I get to carry that gratitude into a profession I’m proud to be part of.

My first audiologist helped me begin my hearing aid journey, and encouraged me to become an audiologist myself. She inspired me, and to this day I strive to provide the level of care and compassion she showed me.

Years later, my cochlear implant audiologist became a key part of my hearing story, helping me navigate new beginnings in so many remarkable ways.

Along the way, there have been mentors, colleagues, and audiology besties who have shared their knowledge, encouraged me, and helped me grow.

On National Audiologist Day, I’m celebrating our profession with deep gratitude for the people in it.

To my fellow audiologists: you may never know the full story of the difference you’ve made in someone’s life.

Today, I wanted you to know mine. 💙

How do you get into the groove? 🎶

There are so many ways to enjoy music. For the upcoming MED-EL Advocates Summit, I’m sharing my story of how I listen to all kinds of music with my cochlear implants.

How do you enjoy yours? What’s your favorite song?
