Hearing aid advocacy is a difficult prospect since it often overlaps with public perception. Even with the right information, many individuals will still be hesitant to adopt the hearing technology they need due to stigma. This is especially true with children and young adults — so how do you help them see the importance of hearing aids?
Stories and role models are a great tool for advocacy — they help people feel less alone in their struggles and give a clear example of someone who can succeed despite the obstacles. Keenan Tully has dedicated himself to spreading awareness and using his personal brand as a precedent for others.
