Drawing on both her professional and lived experience, Hannah shares her journey with NF2, including the progression of hearing loss, her experience with auditory brainstem implants (ABIs), and the process of navigating a dual sensory loss. She offers valuable insights into self-advocacy, communication accessibility, and what it means to identify as deaf-blind.
