Bachelor Nation got to know and fall in love with Daisy Kent on Season 28 of “The Bachelor.”
While on the show, Daisy opened up about her difficult medical history and shared how she became extremely ill from Lyme disease, which led her to eventually losing her hearing.
Thankfully, she was able to receive a special treatment in Germany that got her feeling better and was able to get a cochlear implant for her hearing loss.
Since her time on the show, Daisy has loved sharing about her experience with a cochlear implant and her hearing loss journey to help spread awareness.
She often posts videos online with information around hearing loss, and even wrote a children’s book called “Daisy Doo: All the Sounds She Knew.”
This week, the Bachelor Nation star revealed that she got to surprise an 8-year-old fan on the day she got her cochlear implant activated and shared the sweet moment in a new video online.
Daisy said, “I’m doing something so cool today. There is an 8-year-old named Hailey who’s getting her cochlear implant activated. She read my children’s book and loves it, and it was part of the reason that she decided to go ahead and do it. We’re gonna FaceTime her and surprise her on her activation later today.”
The video shows Daisy on the FaceTime call with Hailey, and Daisy asks how she’s doing and if she can hear words, and they both share their mutual excitement for her new cochlear implant.
Hailey then asks Daisy if she has a favorite cochlear implant that she wears, and the Bachelor Nation star shares that sometimes she likes to mix and match them to her outfits. Hailey said that she’s going to do the same.
Daisy then asks Hailey if she wants to know something cool and reveals, “You can play music into [your cochlear implant] so eventually when you learn more how to hear with it, you can play into it so it works like headphones.” And Hailey responds, “That sounds cool!”
The video ends with Hailey’s mom asking her how it was to meet Daisy, and she said that it was great!
We can’t get enough of this sweet interaction between Daisy and Hailey and love seeing the positive impact this Bachelor Nation star’s story has had on others.
