• The motivation for creating www.soundly.com and the goal of the website
• Widespread mask usage during the pandemic serving as a catalyst to people realizing how dependent they are on lip reading
• The sheer pervasiveness of hearing loss and why it's not fully in the mainstream's zeitgeist 
• The potential upside of consumers being exposed to hearing health functionality in their consumer earbuds 
• The importance of the hearing health professional in the OTC era
