Emily Owen

Emily lost her hearing in 2000, as an adult, and relies on lipreading/sign language/speech to text. In October 2017, Emily – who is an Author and Speaker – was invited to speak at an Open Ears weekend conference, and she hasn’t looked back; soon afterwards, she officially joined Open Ears. Emily regularly takes lessons and seminars, in schools and universities, on communication and Deaf Awareness. Emily enjoys reading, time with friends, and being ‘Aunty Memem’ to her nieces and nephews.
