About The Author
Matt Hay
Matt Hay was born and raised in Indiana. He holds a BS and MBA from the Indiana University School of Business. Throughout Matt’s journey of hearing loss and recovery he held a full-time roll in media sales, but his heart remained in non-profit work within the hard of hearing community. Matt has served on the national Board of Directors for the Children’s Tumor Foundation, is a Certified Cochlear Corp Advocate, a development adviser for the St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf and public speaker at various hearing loss related events. Somewhere in there he did an Ironman Triathlon. He now serves as the U.S. Director of Advocacy for Neurofibromatosis at Alexion Pharmaceuticals. He currently lives in Westfield, IN with his wife/hero of 17 years and three teenage children and spends each day trying to focus on the things he can do, not the things he cannot.
