So, who is Daisy Kent? She’s accomplished so much at a young age. Daisy has been vocal about her hearing loss and has become an advocate for others. Get to know this accomplished woman looking to capture Joey’s heart.
Daisy Has Suffers From Hearing Loss
“I started losing my hearing when I was 17 years old,” Daisy revealed in a preview video. “It was all because I had Lyme disease. I’ve learned how to turn something really difficult into something really positive.” In an August 2023 interview, Daisy told CBS8 that her hearing loss “started as a lot of high-pitched ringing and then just progressively got worse, and I couldn’t understand speech very well.”

When she was 17, doctors diagnosed her with Meniere’s disease, a disorder in the inner ear. A few years later when she was 21, Daisy found out she also had Lyme disease, which likely caused her Meniere’s disease. Daisy now wears a cochlear implant.
Daisy Wrote a Book
Daisy published her first children’s book, Daisy Doo: All The Sounds She Knew, in August 2023. The book chronicles a “journey through a child’s perseverance in the face of hearing loss.” In an Instagram video, Daisy revealed that she wrote the book because she “wanted to show how important it is to embrace something that makes you unique.”
