How Omega AI Turns Hearing Aids Into Everyday Assistants
What if your hearing aid could listen to you, read the room, and fix the problem before your next appointment?

Instead of waiting days for a follow‑up, users can compare new settings with their originals, choose what feels best, and keep moving, while clinicians still see the changes and refine care.

We start with the spark: early licensure battles in Arizona, the evolving relationship between audiologists and hearing instrument specialists, and the shared commitment to higher standards and clear scope.

Policy just moved the goalposts on graduate borrowing. We invited Jill Desjean, Director of Policy Analysis at NASFAA, to break down the new federal definition of “professional degree,” why it leans on a legacy program list, and what that means for loan limits, affordability, and access to care. We walk through the exact criteria the Department of Education is using, how Congress pointed the rulemaking toward classifications like medicine and dentistry, and why allied health fields with lice...

Friday Audiogram: The Day A Mother's Voice Turned Her Baby’s Head
Send us a text A whisper can change an entire family’s future. When Ally was born with microtia and aural atresia, her parents were told she wasn’t a candidate for a cochlear implant—and they left the hospital thinking that was a good thing. In this Friday audiogram, we open the door that should have been opened on day one: the world of bone conduction hearing devices, how they bypass the outer and middle ear, and why they can be the right fit for conductive hearing loss. From that first appo...

We sit down with EarCommunity.org founder Melissa Tumblin to unpack microtia, aural atresia, and the real costs of unilateral hearing loss that too often go unseen: delayed speech, safety risks, and the daily strain of listening with one ear in a noisy world.

When Effortful Listening Ends, Relationships Heal
Send us a text The quiet slide from “Huh?” to “I can hear” is rarely a straight line. Jerry—a veteran, entrepreneur, and university instructor—opens up about years of coping with a high-frequency hearing loss that turned restaurants into noise walls and classrooms into cognitive marathons. He tried to compensate: sitting close, reading lips, taking exhaustive notes to plug gaps. The breakthrough came when he moved beyond “good devices” to a best-practice fitting with real-ear measurement that...

Just a precise, research-backed way to make speech clearer, reduce listening effort, and help you forget you’re even wearing devices. We walk...
