    I have suffered an amount of hearing loss over the years so am extremely interested to hear what Noah has to say. Unfortunately I can’t make the livestream but I will be sure to watch and listen later. Thanks so much for discussing what is a very difficult topic for musicians. Kate

    Age related hearing loss is gradual. What advice do you have for us in treating hearing loss? I never thought of occlusion.

    Also, I have been told that untreated hearing loss also affects your brain's ability to process sound information.

       Hi Ronald - this question is being answered now! Thanks for asking :) Ultimately - hearing aids are essential regardless of the cause of hearing. And untreated loss definitely affects your brain's ability to process sound.
