"Teresa Barnes, RN, is engaging, passionate, and speaks from the heart. She is extremely well-informed on hearing loss and provides concrete tools for businesses to help them become more hearing hero friendly. Teresa sprinkles in humor and fascinating data to draw her audience in, and I thoroughly enjoyed her presentation."    -Tamina Madison | UCLA School of Law Alumni & Community Director of Lisana Basquiat's Hera Hub 

Teresa has a wealth of knowledge on the importance of businesses being prepared to effectively serve customers with hearing impairment. We were pleased to have the opportunity for our staff to be educated on how to recognize individuals with hearing challenges and how to effectively treat them. Businesses that are not properly trained in this area are missing a great opportunity to grow and serve a larger segment of our community."—Scott Ashton, CEO of Oceanside Chamber, Board of Directors of Southern California Association of Chamber of Commerce, and Western Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (WACE)

From Denial to Discovery: Empowered by Teresa's Coaching

A retired worldwide hospitality executive changed from living a life of solitude to truly interacting with others through one-on-one coaching with Teresa Barnes-Paulus, RN.

Under Teresa's skilled direction, I was able to accept my newfound clarity in hearing loss, while also receiving the emotional support and technical know-how to maximize the performance of my hearing aids. She has re-established her connection with the world around her, is actively involved in social events, and can clearly hear her grandson laughing.
