In this year-end episode, hosts Dr. Ruth Reisman and Carly Sygrove reflect on a year of growth, learning, and advocacy in hearing healthcare.

They discuss cochlear implant rehabilitation, auditory fatigue, hearing health disparities, the power of shared stories, and why celebrating small wins matters, both professionally and personally.

The conversation closes with a look ahead to the year to come and continued commitment to awareness and support.

In this episode, Hearing Loss Coach Carly Sygrove and Audiologist Dr. Ruth Reisman talk with Dr. Gladys Sanda, a London-based audiologist, about the psychology of tinnitus.

Together, they explore how therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can empower people to manage tinnitus more effectively and find greater calm through sound.
