TESTIMONIALS
Many [attendees] shared that your session gave them a deeper understanding of how to support individuals with hearing loss. They described your presentation as engaging, informative, and truly inspiring. Not every keynote speaker receives such high praise—please know that you both stood out as exceptional.
—Steve Spurgeon, PSS, CHW, Outreach Coordinator at Oregon State University Center for Health InnovationI wasn’t sure how the audience of hearing care professionals would react to this presentation, however, we were blown away—arguably the best presentation of the weekend! I highly recommend Shari and Gael as speakers and advocates for anyone seeking to better understand and navigate hearing loss.
—Amit Gosalia, AuD, CEO AudBoss
