Eritrean-Ethiopian Twin sisters, Hermon and Heroda Berhane were 7 years old when they both mysteriously went deaf at the same time.

Blavity reports:

Their parents took them and their younger brother, who is also deaf, and moved from Eritrea to America to seek medical help. For a year their mother worked with them on their speech before the family relocated to the UK so that they could have a better education. In boarding school, they learnt the British Sign Language and found a community of friends.

“We believe that us being deaf separates us from the rest of the bloggers out there and that our disability actually enhanced our popularity within media. We never allow being deaf to limit our ambition and disability doesn’t mean inability. We had to do something about it and make our voice heard!”
