Carla was born with a hearing impairment, suffers from 20- 30% hearing loss and has been wearing hearing aids for many years. Never one to falter in the face of adversity, Carla has never allowed this to be a defining factor in her life. Against recommendations, she attended a normal school and never requested any special treatment.
