Sound is an essential part of our lives, especially as we age. Recently, HearingLife’s Audiologist, Katie Koebel, joined Carmen Ruiz y Laza on Carpe Diem to talk about the powerful link between hearing health and overall well-being.

During their conversation, Katie touched on:

  • The Joy of Music: How music can enhance the lives of older adults by boosting mood and triggering memories.
  • Untreated Hearing Loss: Why hearing loss isn’t just about difficulty hearing—it’s connected to social isolation and mental health challenges.
  • Access to Sound: The importance of hearing clearly to stay engaged with the world, especially as we age.
