She was not deaf at birth and learned to speak before she became hard-of-hearing, not truly deaf, from an illness as a young girl. Many authorities attribute her abilities to speech read, speak, and even sing songs because of this early ability. Also, the ease at which she learned these skills may have contributed to Alexander Bell's belief that all deaf people could learn to speech read and speak.
