Abstract
Do you belong to a sports club or gym? Do you like to work out, play tennis, swim, or run regularly? If so, you are also improving your hearing health. I did not learn this from a sports column; I learned it from interviewing Ray Hull. Dr. Raymond H. Hull, PhD, is a professor of communication sciences and disorders, audiology, and director of the Center for Research in Communicative Sciences and Disorders in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, School of Health Sciences, at Wichita State University. Judging by the number of popular news media and reporters who are interviewing him lately, many people are interested in what he has to say. A strong cardiovascular system is necessary for good hearing at any age, but it really makes a noticeable difference as we grown older. Dr. Hull's combination of knowledge about communication sciences, hearing health, and cardiovascular strength made for a lively interview. It may convince you to “pump up” that personal exercise program to keep the blood flowing!
