Hearing health has been historically stigmatized and disregarded. This means that advocacy and representation is especially important. When respected or beloved public figures speak about their experiences, it helps others feel less alone and encourages them to take action. Few people seem stronger than Lou Ferrigno, a renowned bodybuilder and actor for the original The Incredible Hulk TV series. His personal experience with hearing loss has led him to advocate for others to take action as well.
