Matt Hay's journey is one of resilience, transformation, and the power of sound — not just the kind you hear, but the kind you hold in your heart. A sophomore in college, Hay's life was changed forever when he was diagnosed with progressive hearing loss.
Hay's story resonates deeply with anyone who has faced personal or physical challenges. Whether he's speaking to the medical community, sharing his experiences with rare disease advocacy, or delivering a powerful TEDx talk titled “What Losing (and Regaining) My Hearing Taught me About Resilience,” Hay's authenticity shines through. His message is clear: no matter how hard life gets, you are never truly alone. Hay has made it his mission to help others find their voice, especially in the rare disease community, where patients often struggle to be heard.
A best-selling author, keynote speaker, and university lecturer, Hay’s memoir “Soundtrack of Silence: Love, Loss, and a Playlist for Life” explores the emotional and philosophical depths of his journey. As an Auditory Brainstem Implant user, Hay has found a way to bridge the gap between his old and new realities, learning to navigate a world where hearing is no longer a given but still a cherished memory.
Outside of speaking and writing, Hay is an Ironman Triathlon finisher and Boston Marathon participant — an impressive feat that speaks to his unyielding determination, even when faced with adversity.
