'I'm deaf,' Actor Luwi's twin brother Samm Komorah's beautiful wife Aysha narrates ¶
On her 27th birthday, Aysha Zahoor, the wife of Mombasa-based actor Samm Komorah, shared a heartwarming message from her husband, which read: 'I would say alot but i know it won't be enough. So all i can say is, you are one of the most amazing person i know. I treasure you. Knowing you is the best thing in my life. And as you get into another year of your life, i wanna be there in all situations. Sad or happy. Happy birthday beautiful. More life. More love..I love you to the bone 🦴 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️…'
However, Aysha's story is not just about her husband's love. She is deaf, a fact she revealed on her YouTube channel for the first time. Aysha lost her hearing at the age of 13 and has been living with it ever since.
She explained that she was initially scared after losing her hearing, but she got a Cochlear implant to aid her in hearing. However, the device has its disadvantages, including the need to charge the batteries every night and the risk of headaches due to the magnet that sits under her skin.
Aysha also revealed that only one of her ears is working, and she struggles a lot because even with her hearing aid, at times she doesn't hear. Despite the challenges, Aysha said she feels blessed and has no regrets about her situation. She believes that her deafness has made her who she is today and has provided her with so much love.
Her story moved many to tears, and she narrated how her mother was more hurt after she lost her hearing more than herself. Aysha said, 'I used to get worried and ask her worrying questions. I would ask her things like, 'Will anyone ever marry me because I'm deaf?' and that worried her a lot. Look where I am now. I got to say Alhamdulillah, I do not feel bad about my situation. I feel like it has made me who I am today provided me with so much love. I'm surrounded by love and have no regrets. I've gained a gift, I'm gifted.'
