    Vincent Karamanov - talking hyperacusis, distortions, and classical music

    Vincent Karamanov is a freelance bassoonist playing with such prestigious ensembles as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Lyric Opera, and Joffrey Ballet. In this episode, Vincent reflects on how the onset of dysacusis (auditory distortions) and hyperacusis (decreased sound tolerance) forced him to make significant life changes in his employment, outlook, and relationships. The conversation follows the rollercoaster of his last several years, and brings us full circle in a story which somehow repaints Shostakovich's epic symphonic depiction of war as a message of a peace and recovery. Music heard in this episode features Vincent Karamanov (sometimes credited as Vince Halley) on bassoon, bass, guitar, and voice. You can hear more of the music featured through the following links: Ryan Martinez's album "Ensemble" Murder City Players  The Sallys album "Dog Days Demos" Vince and The Sallys cover of Green Days "Nice Guys Finish Last" The recording of Shostakovich: Symphony No. 11 (‘1905’) is from the public domain archive 1958 recording of the Houston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski [Seraphim (S-60228)] In this episode, we discuss mental health and significant distress from audiologic conditions.

    NHCA 2025 Student Scholarship Panel

    Welcome to the last episode of Season 3 of Talking Ears! This also happens to be the final installment of the eight part NHCA 2025 Conference spotlight series. What a ride we've had this year and we are excited to share what we've been working on for Season 4! This episode features a round table conversation captured at the NHCA 2025 Conference with two audiology graduate Student Scholarship Award recipients: Hannah Miller (Idaho State University) and Blake Voss (University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point). They each presented remarkable research posters surveying contrasting intersections between the worlds of music and hearing. Juan and Frank were happy to find time during the busy conference schedule to delve into the personal and academic factors that led them to focused on each of their specific target populations for their research. Music heard in this episode was written and recorded by Juan Vasquez and produced by Frank Wartinger. To hear the full tracks, visit the new Original Music Of Talking Ears album. If you like the show (or the music) and want to support us, you may choose to donate through bandcamp. It would probably go towards funding some coffee so we can keep awake so we can make more of this show and music. As we enter Season 4, we would love to hear more of your feedback on the show. If you've listened (and read) this far, YOU are our target audience of dedicated listeners, and you can help shape the future sound of Talking Ears. We invite you to share your questions, your requests, your responses, or your praise/critics. We'll take it all! After all - we are all ears, so to speak.
