In episode 83 of the Disruptors for GOOD podcast, I speak with Bridget Hilton, Founder of LSTN Headphones, on the power of giving the gift of hearing to 35,000 people around the world, all while competing against Beats and Bose in a sector ruled by giants.

Bridget and her co-founder, Joe Huff, started LSTN in 2012, after seeing someone hear her own voice for the first time, the two decided to focus their efforts on creating change through the power of sound & music.

For every pair of headphones sold, LSTN helps restore hearing to a person in need through a partnership with the Starkey Hearing Foundation. Over the last 8 years, through the sales of millions of headphones and speakers worldwide (D2C, Delta Air Lines, Nordstrom, Barney's and more), LSTN and its customers have been able to give the gift of sound too over 35,000 people through Starkey in the U.S., Peru, Mexico, China, Dominican Republic, Shri Lanka, Rwanda, Indonesia, Kenya and Uganda!

Some of Bridgets accolades include:
