Her performance on Talented Kidz drew curiosity on social media after her hearing impairment became public knowledge.

An article from The Conversation written by Helen E. Nuttall, a lecturer in Cognitive Neuroscience at Lancaster University, and Kate Slade, a research associate in the Neuroscience of Speech and Action Laboratory at Lancaster University, explained how it was possible to deaf people to hear and dance to music.

The article notes how the brain helps people with hearing loss to feel the music through vibrations that go through their bodies.

The brain is an excellent problem solver. If the sound is missing, it will use other sources of information to understand what’s happening around us. What a person sees and the vibrations felt through the body can be particularly helpful sources of information for those who are deaf or hearing-impaired.
