Isla Simpson: Marketing Executive, Deaf, Remote-worker

The world of work in this pandemic has been hard for most of us. Some have lost jobs. Others have kept them but had to work in a strange new challenging outside environment of masks and social distancing. Others still have worked from home and are dealing with hours of video calls without the usual camaraderie of colleagues. Difficult for most of us. But what if you are profoundly deaf? How do you deal with those challenges? Our colleague Isla Simpson was the youngest person in the UK at the time to have cochlear implants fitted. Without them she can’t hear anything. With them – she can talk to us on Walking the Walk. Presented by Dominic Laurie.
