So, it was a really interesting, to witness her go through all of those stages and I became really very interested in the field of audiology. So, I’ve seen her go through the process of diagnosis, getting hearing aids and then getting surgery and her hearing actually going back to normal. I actually witnessed my mother suffer through hearing loss, so she had bilateral otosclerosis as she was having children and, and as we were growing up it got progressively worse. Initially I had started actually in pharmacy, so I was doing a lot of science-based courses. I guess audiology kind of chose me, which I, which I always say as I go through the field, all of these areas kind of choose me. Ruth Reisman: Yeah, no, that’s a great question. You know, if you thought at the beginning when you got into it that you would be involved in all these other things down the line. So, I think a lot of people are curious as to how you got into audiology in the first place. Anytime we find someone who’s going to talk to me about these things, I’m like totally into it. And then one of my favorite things to do is to teach at the university and I teach multiple classes on, on all of these wonderful things, aural rehab, hearing aids, so I’m happy to talk about anything always related to audiology. So, we support patients with their implants as well and, and aural rehabilitation, just like auditory processing comes into play in that arena as well. And then in addition to that, I do work at a cochlear implant company or hearing implant company, I should say, cuz it’s not just cochlear implants called Medel. I’m excited to talk about it and, and, and let you know how I got into that. Lilach Saperstein: I have to tell you right away that that Venn diagram I discussed that Venn diagram on the regular, so we’re going to go into that for sure. And I’ll explain as I go into that, as to why that became my area of focus or a specialty. In addition to my private practice where I do work with individuals that have auditory processing disorders predominantly focusing on individuals that actually have. I support the audiology field in multiple aspects. It’s a pleasure to be here and to have the opportunity to speak with you and present on this platform.
