Signia and the Dallas Cowboys will partner to raise awareness of hearing health, educating communities on the importance of healthy hearing.
This month, Starkey Chief Audiology Officer Dr Sara Burdak and Dr Gyl Kasewurm kicked off the series with an interactive virtual workshop, called “Maintaining the Joy in the Journey.”
