Meet Natalie Cantini, an educational therapist and former international school teacher based in Austria. After experiencing burnout, Natalie discovered she had undiagnosed hearing loss, a realisation that changed her life.

Today, she works closely with dyslexic students and sheds light on how often mild hearing issues go unnoticed in education.

Natalie is currently leading a campaign to raise awareness about mild and undiagnosed hearing loss and is passionate about encouraging others to get tested.

Listen to Natalie’s story and join the conversation to help bring more attention to this important issue.

In this milestone 20th episode of the Happy Hearing Podcast, we welcome audiologist and advocate Dr. Yovina. Based in London, Dr. Yovina shares her unique journey into audiology, the inspiration behind opening her own audiology practice, and how she blends clinical care with advocacy and international outreach.

We also dive into new hearing technologies - like the new Nuance audio glasses - and how stylish, customizable devices could help combat the stigma around hearing aids. Plus, we explore the emotional side of hearing loss care, from building deeper patient connections to reshaping global access to hearing health.
