Tasha Ghouri: Why deafness is my superpower

Love Island star Tasha Ghouri has a cochlear implant - a small, electronic device that can help to provide a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing.

It has two parts: one worn like a hearing aid behind the ear and the other surgically implanted. The implant turns sounds into electrical signals, instead of simply making sounds louder, like a conventional hearing aid would. So it's an option for some adults and children when a normal hearing aid won't work.

When Tasha went on Love Island this year, she described her cochlear implant as a superpower.

Naga Munchetty introduced Tasha to three women who she's inspired.
