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.

Shaped by his own experiences with tinnitus, Ed and Dr George Leidig (co-founder) shared a vision to help as many people as possible get their lives back from tinnitus through expert tinnitus coaching.
