Thanks to Ace, where we learn that
She was born with Usher syndrome, which made her deaf since birth and then struck her blind in her mid-20s.
Usher syndrome is...
a rare genetic disorder associated with a mutation in any one of 10 genes resulting in a combination of hearing loss and visual impairment and is a leading cause of deafblindness.
It is incurable at present. The condition is characterized by hearing loss and gradual loss of vision.
