December 04, 2021 - 18:57 GMT Bridie Wilkins Strictly Come Dancing's first ever deaf contestant Rose Ayling-Ellis has reportedly turned down"vast money" to promote hearing aids by Specsavers, in order to stay loyal to the NHS.The 27-year-old, who is partnered with Giovanni Pernice, has been praised for representing the deaf community and is refusing to promote any devices not supplied by the NHS, where she gets her hearing aids from.
It's thanks to said hearing aids that she has been able to take part in the show. In fact, she was recently unable to rehearse after they ran out of battery, so how exactly do they work, and what happens if she goes without? A deaf blogger with the nickname Deafie Blogger, meanwhile, explained in an article for British Deaf News last year that most deaf people can feel vibrations of music through their body, but that this is helped massively through hearing aids, and when the volume of music is increased.
"A hearing aid magnifies sound vibrations entering the ear. Surviving hair cells detect the larger vibrations and convert them into neural signals that are passed along to the brain. The greater the damage to a person's hair cells, the more severe the hearing loss, and the greater the hearing aid amplification needed to make up the difference."
