In Episode 29 of the Happy Hearing Podcast, we are joined by award-winning writer, editor, speaker and mentor Bruce Hunter.

Bruce shares his lifelong journey with hearing loss, his experience living bimodally with a cochlear implant and hearing aid, and the profound emotional impact of hearing new sounds later in life, including birdsong for the very first time.

The conversation explores creativity, disability, resilience, identity and the idea of finding your “superpower” through adversity. Bruce also discusses how hearing technology transformed not only his hearing, but his writing, relationships and connection to the world around him.
