Soundly co-founder Blake Cadwell joined The Balancing Act with Mario and Courtney Lopez on Lifetime TV to share his personal hearing journey and a mission that continues to guide Soundly today: making hearing care easier to understand, access and navigate.
For Soundly co-founder Blake Cadwell, hearing care has always been personal.
Blake has hereditary hearing loss and, like many people, waited years before addressing it. When he eventually began exploring hearing aids, he found himself navigating different brands, technology, prices, and ways to receive care without a clear roadmap. That experience ultimately helped inspire Soundly.
Now, Blake is sharing that story with a national audience.
Bringing the hearing conversation to The Balancing Act
On October 30, Blake joined Mario and Courtney Lopez on The Balancing Act on Lifetime to share his experience with hearing loss and help viewers better understand what hearing care can look like today. The discussion quickly became personal for Mario and Courtney, who connected Blake’s experience to loved ones in their own family who have worn hearing aids. With nearly 29 million Americans needing hearing aids yet less than 30% using them, their conversation underscored just how common hearing loss is, and how many families are touched by it.
But hearing care has also come a long way. Blake shared how you can choose from a range of advanced, discreet hearing aids, including in-the-ear and behind-the-ear styles, as well as different paths to care. While some opt for over-the-counter hearing aids, the most common path is prescription hearing aids, which can provide professional guidance and support if you want it or have more significant hearing loss. With more options available than ever, Soundly helps you make sense of your hearing and find a path that fits your needs.
