What caused Daisy Kent’s hearing loss?
During an early episode of the Joey edition of The Bachelorthe 25-year-old account executive from Becker, Minn., arranged a one-on-one meeting with Graziadei.
During dinner on the tour, Kent opened up to Graziadei about the health issues she faced during her teenage years that resulted in significant hearing loss.
“Life with me will probably be a little different than life with any other girl in the house,” Kent told Graziadei.
“The reason I can communicate with you the way I can is because I have a cochlear implant.”

In fact, Kent wrote a children’s book – titled Daisy Doo: all the sounds she knew – based on your medical condition.
She also founded a non-profit organization called Hear Your Heart in 2020.
The organization supports children “who have autoimmune diseases or hearing loss” by giving them “medical care, funds for future education, and raising awareness about mental health for children and families.”
In an interview last year with a local CBS affiliate, Kent explained how he began losing his hearing at age 15.
“It started with a lot of high-pitched ringing and then got progressively worse, and I couldn’t understand speech very well,” she explained in August 2023.

At age 17, Kent was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease, an inner ear disorder. After trying hearing aids, Kent began researching cochlear implants.
In May 2023, Kent uploaded a video of his implant activation… and it currently has over 12.5 million views on TikTok.
“Honestly, it really changed my life,” Daisy said in The Bachelordirectly addressing your situation with your potential husband.
“It’s exciting for me because I’ve forgotten the sounds of everyday life. I’m so grateful and I’m so happy and my life is so full of love.
“Honestly, I just want someone to share this with. I haven’t dated since I got my implant, so I’m super nervous.”

After the episode aired, Kent took to Instagram to show his appreciation for all the support he’s received lately, writing:
I want to thank all of you for being so kind and accepting of my story. The support I have received has completely surprised me.
My story is my personal experience and no path is the same, but I hope one person felt a little less alone, a little more understood, a little more seen.
I want to thank @bachelorabc @bachelornation @abcnetwork for allowing me to share part of my story in the best way possible.

I will always be grateful for that day and the support I felt from the girls in the house, Joey, the producers, the people behind the cameras, the microphones and everyone involved. It was one of the most uplifting days of my life and changed my confidence in ways I can’t explain.
I encourage you, as this season unfolds, to show love and uplift each woman who shares your story. I can’t wait for you to hear parts of other women’s stories as they changed my perspective in the best way possible.
It’s all about love and how we express that love to others.
