Reflecting on her experience the talented singer said “For me, at some point in my life, I felt embarrassed when I had to do interviews and I’m with my partner Theo and he has to always repeat the questions”.
“Even when I was just chilling with friends, sometimes I would just laugh without knowing what people are laughing about or be agreeable basically to everything because I can’t hear and I was really embarrassed to just say I am having this problem,” she said.
The Love Potion hitmaker shared that she has been silently struggling with her hearing and was too ashamed to open up about it to anyone.
