“Millennials” — Aaron Schilb’s Silly Song That Started It All

Aaron Schilb’s hearing began a steady decline as an adolescent. Caused by an inner ear disorder called “Otosclerosis,” the result was degenerative hearing loss — eventually forcing him to wear hearing aids. With a love for music from a young age, doctors, audiologists, family and friends alike pushed him to quit music and pursue something that wouldn’t potentially damage his hearing further.
