Redux, Indiana
Matt Hay, MBA has a 25-year journey toward deafness (and subsequent recovery with his auditory brainstem implant). He shared his story on a National Public Radio (NPR) podcast titled Soundtrack of Silence. The intimate, funny and authentic segment inspired actor Channing Tatum and Paramount Pictures to option the motion picture rights to Matt’s life story and MacMillan Books to option his memoir. Matt passionately supports the hearing loss community as a consultant for the St Joseph Institute for the Deaf and member of the Columbia University Genetic Counseling Advisory Board. He’s proudly served as a Congressional Lobbyist for neurofibromatosis (NF) research funding, the cause of his hearing loss, and has personally raised more than $100,000 for NF research by doing endurance events, including an Ironman Triathlon the Boston Marathon (he didn’t win them). He lives in Westfield, IN with his wife, three children, and a very opinionated Labradoodle named Charley.
