The first 2025 webinar in our provider webinar series held Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025, was with otolaryngologist Dr. Chad Ruffin who shared his unique perspective on hearing loss management. Drawing from his dual expertise as a patient with and physician caring for severe hearing loss, Dr. Ruffin highlighted why hearing loss deserves greater attention in primary care, explored often-overlooked sequelae that impact quality of life, and discussed practical strategies for collaboration between primary care providers and ENT specialists to ensure comprehensive care. This session inspires new approaches to treating hearing loss that go beyond amplification, focusing on improving communication, mental health, and overall well-being.
