Julie recently spent time at Zounds Heaering of Metro Atlanta in order to train for her new position. Of the experience, she says, “I have so enjoyed my time training with the Zounds team in Atlanta. They were able to show me many of the aspects of the hearing technology found in Zounds products. It was mind-boggling and the team was top-notch.”

Having assisted geriatric patients and watching her own mother struggle with hearing loss, Julie is well versed in the importance of having your hearing tested regularly. “After working with patients with hearing loss for so many years and seeing how much my own mother struggles everyday with her hearing, I immersed myself in learning about hearing loss and how it affects so many other aspects of your life. To say taking care of your hearing is critical to your overall well-being is an understatement,” says Julie.

Studies have linked hearing loss to many different health issues including dementia, diabetes and depression.

The issue of hearing loss among veterans holds a special place in Julie’s heart, as she has a close family member who is currently in Africa serving in the Marines. “A large percentage of our military veterans are returning home from active duty with hearing loss or tinnitus.
