Comedy legend Steve Martin made headlines at the recent Golden Globe Awards—not for his humour but for his openness about wearing hearing aids. In this social media post on Facebook he drew attention to his choice of hearing aids and shared how noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus from concerts and filming without ear protection led him to embrace hearing technology.
This is good to see. Celebrities like Steve Martin, Jodie Foster, and Will.i.am are helping to remove the outdated stigma around hearing aids, demonstrating that they are tools for empowerment. By normalising hearing aid use, these stars inspire people of all ages to prioritise their hearing health.
