Send us a text Teresa is an amazing story teller and I'm so grateful to have learned so much from her all about hearing loss! It's a must listen! Teresa's Bio Teresa Barnes Paulus, RN, is an advocate for hearing awareness. With her personal experience of hearing loss since birth, Teresa has become the go-to expert for organizations looking to tap into a trillion-dollar market by enhancing any organization's social responsibility and culture. After a potentially life-threatening accident for not hearing a warning shout. She saw a need in society as a former Emergency Department RN Manager. Teresa realized the critical lack of accommodations for the hard of hearing in workplaces. She pioneered the federally registered Hearing Hero Friendly Symbol, a tool that boosts safety and awareness while increasing business opportunities and customer satisfaction through specialized training and certification. Based on the Olmec Culture 2500 BC standards where they believed people with hearing loss needed a special way to communicate and wore a jade Olmec symbol to bring visibility to hearing loss. Featured on ESPN BizShow and Good Morning America in San Diego. She drives change with consultancy, keynotes, online courses, and a new book called Be A Hearing Hero to alert others that by 2050, 2.5 billion will have hearing loss unless we change our environments and hearing loss knowledge. Teresa empowers others alongside her service dog, Stella, encouraging everyone to become Hearing Heroes in today's diverse world. For future acceptance and understanding, so no more discrimination against hearing loss, but better inclusion. Hearing Hero Friendly Spaces can allow those with hearing loss to hear others, potentially prevent hearing loss for babies in utero, and provide space for others that need, say, a quieter place to dine that have PTSD, anxiety disorder, autism, or want to save their hearing. Help prevent this health and social issue and reduce stigma, too with with understanding.
