Please welcome Matt Hay to Practice First! Matt is the Director of Audiology Sales at Redux. When he was a sophomore in college, he was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2)—a disorder that affects about 1 in 40,000 people that resulted in full hearing loss. Over the following years, Matt practiced his way back to hearing, and his inspiring story has even been optioned as a movie (with Channing Tatum, no less)!
