Olivia
My name is Olivia and I was born with a sensory-neural bilateral hearing impairment. I have lived most of my life with a mild-moderate hearing loss in the left ear and moderate-severe in the right, affecting my ability to hear high-frequency sounds. That’s why I need to wear bilateral hearing aids.
