275. Brandon Sawalich: On The Science of Hearing Loss, Dementia Prevention & AI Hearing Technology

About this episode

Brandon Sawalich discusses the alarming rise of hearing loss among teenagers and the implications for dementia prevention and AI hearing technology.

One in six teenagers right now has measurable hearing loss, and almost nobody is talking about it. In this conversation with Brandon Sawalich of Starkey Hearing Technologies, we pull back the curtain on what Brandon calls a “quiet pandemic” driven by earbuds, concerts, and a generation blasting sound directly into their cochlea. If you’re still pounding music through your earbuds on a daily basis, this episode is your wake-up call.
