ROLL CALL! Tell us who you are!

I almost forgot to introduce myself!

I'm Erica Jansen, founder of Hearing Habits.

I'm 34 years old and have been a hearing aid wearer for 11 years.

My hearing loss is sensorineural, mild-to-moderate, and noise induced.

I work as a Creative Producer at a local TV station.

I'm an MBA student at the University of St. Thomas.

Before the pandemic, I was a roller derby player. My derby name is Double Derica. I hope I look this cool again in my life!

I know I have hearing loss considering that my favorite hobby puts a snare drum that I strike with full force about two feet from my right ear. This site is very helpful and has given me a new awareness of habits I need to change and need to change them now!
