About Nashlea

Nashlea Brogan, Doctor of Audiology, is a Canadian speaker, educator, and hearing health leader with a voice that bridges science, story, and lived experience.

Diagnosed with progressive hearing loss at 14, Nashlea spent decades navigating the emotional and everyday challenges of hearing decline—first with hearing aids, and later with cochlear implants. Her personal journey fuels everything she does, from stage to clinic to online.

In 2004, she founded Bluewater Hearing & Balance, now a recognized leader and speaker in relationship-based care for hearing loss, tinnitus, and brain health. She’s spoken across Canada and internationally to both the public and professionals, sharing insights on hearing, communication, and identity in a way that resonates far beyond the clinical world.

Her work has been featured in podcasts, publications, and her TEDx talk, where she invites audiences to rethink what it really means to listen.

Today, Nashlea leads Still Listening—a space for speaking, teaching, and real conversations about hearing, listening, leadership, and staying connected. Through talks, workshops, and soon, a podcast, she helps people navigate the quieter struggles that often go unnoticed—but matter most.

Whether you're looking to book a speaker, invite a podcast guest, co-create an article, or collaborate on a meaningful project—Nashlea welcomes conversations that lead to impact. If her work speaks to something you’re building or exploring, she’d love to hear from you.

Beyond the clinic, Nashlea is a vibrant advocate for preventive hearing health, tirelessly working to raise awareness about the impact of hearing loss on relationships, cognitive health, and overall well-being. Whether she's speaking at international conferences or sharing real-life advice on social media, Nashlea connects with audiences worldwide, inspiring and educating with her insights and experiences. Her online presence is a hub of valuable information on hearing loss, tinnitus, and the latest treatment options.

MISSION

Nashlea's mission is to demystify hearing loss and educate both the public and professionals on the importance of proactive hearing healthcare. She aims to empower individuals to embrace their hearing journey with confidence and resilience, making sure everyone understands the vital role that hearing health plays in overall well-being.
