In this episode, Bill Leighty makes a confession: he’s known about his hearing loss for years, went to Costco to try hearing aids, lasted twenty uncomfortable minutes, and walked away telling himself they didn’t help. He hadn’t given them a fair chance — and he knew it. In this honest, research-backed conversation, Bill shares what the Johns Hopkins data on hearing loss and dementia finally convinced him to face, and why eighty percent of men who could benefit from hearing aids aren’t wearing them. The Editorial Team at The Encore Project found this one of our most relatable conversations yet.
