How a Deaf Woman Discovered Her Love for Playing Cello
Sep 9, 2022
Up until she was five years old, Paola Beals – at the time living in Bolivia – had no problems with her hearing, but all that changed when she got the measles and a nurse damaged her hearing by cleaning out her ears with too much water pressure.
With no government services to teach deaf children in Bolivia, or to teach parents sign language, children with a severe or permanent hearing loss couldn't even learn in school. Fortunately, Paola was at least able to get an education in music appreciation thanks to one person…
Paola’s grandma would deliberately play a radio loud enough for Paola to be able to hear its loud sounds, and she taught her what each instrument's sound waves sounded like. Being able to detect sounds while listening is what grew Paola’s love for music and helped her stay positive.
Now a US citizen, Paola feels a lot more supported in her quest to hear and communicate better. And having a severe hearing loss has never stopped her from going after what she wants. Now living in Niceville and raising her children with her hearing husband, Doug Beals, Paola is pursuing her dream of playing the cello.
Making the Decision to Learn
Paola's desire to play the cello began when she watched it being played in a YouTube video of The Piano Guys, but she waited a few years before finding the confidence to sign up for cello lessons.
Liz Aylor had been teaching music for 44 years, but even she wondered how Paola would be able to learn when Doug and Paola approached her about lessons. However, between the three of them, they came up with the idea of having Doug sit behind Liz and sign whatever she said, in addition to having the assistance of Paola's cochlear implant and hearing aids.
Paola has now been learning the cello from Liz for two years at Playground Music, and her passion and dedication is impressive – every morning, she spends four hours practicing, and she has a 30-minute lesson every week.
How Deafness Didn't Stop Paola
Paola is able to "feel" the music more than hear it. Based on the sound vibrations from an amplifier, she can tell if the notes are high or low. She also runs the notes through the cello's wires to her hearing aids via a Bluetooth connector called EasyTek that she controls on her iPhone. By using both strategies, she can enjoy the music she plays, finding it smooth, relaxing, and peaceful.
Challenges Faced
In her teens, Paola's hearing aids helped her to hear and understand some of the music and words in the songs she learned in her school's choir and theater programs, which eventually led her to the cello.
Learning the cello is not easy, but Liz Aylor is amazed at the progress Paola is making. Currently, Liz is using flash cards of written music to teach Paola how to read music, and she's learning sign language too because Paola isn't highly skilled at lip-reading.
Both teacher and student admire each other greatly for their patience and determination.
Finding Love - From Bolivia to Florida
Doug and Paola first met in Bolivia when Doug lived there with his parents. Missionaries, they specifically taught deaf children, and one of them was Paola. Many years later, the two grown children reconnected on Facebook. They got married eight years ago.
Doug hadn't used any sign language in decades, and he has had to freshen up his skills since meeting Paola. While he enjoys interpreting Liz during his wife's cello classes, he has no skills on the instrument himself. He says he is very proud of all she has accomplished.
What Music Means to Paola
The seed of Paola's cello playing has now come full circle: Liz and Paola drove to Atlanta to see 2Cellos perform and meet them after.
As for her cello playing, Paola will continue with her four hours of practice each morning.
She knows she will eventually be good at it and she wants to succeed to where all the naysayers will eat their words.
As she puts it, "I can show people who I am, even though I’m deaf. I can do it. I can.”

The first time I noticed signs of a hearing loss was back when I was with the Memphis Police Force on the first anti-sniper unit (SWAT) team. Shooting many rounds of guns a week led to ringing in my ears, which it seemed was the start of my hearing loss. The Hearing Center is the very best in the business. They were the most helpful in the profession that I had seen. Since getting my hearing aids, I have no regrets. I enjoy my life much more with my hearing back intact. If you are considering using The Hearing Center, expect to be impressed by the best in the hearing aid business. It’s wonderful to hear well again and I can’t thank them enough.
Bobby B.
Thank you all for the help with my hearing aids. Everyone is so kind each time I come in, and I feel very well taken care of.

My hearing loss started when I was just 10 years old as a result of multiple ear infections. I was really struggling to hear, and as a result, I had to have a lot of ear construction to save my hearing. I was told that I would never be able to hear certain tones again. For many years, I was living in a world of isolation and I believed that there was no way that I would get all of my hearing back. I had an opinion that hearing aids were for older people. When I first approached The Hearing Center, everyone was very warm and welcoming, and it did not matter how many questions I had. They answered them and were very patient with me. They fitted me with hearing aids and the results have been life-changing. I can hear my children. They can no longer come up behind me and scare me! I feel less tired, I have more energy, and as a result, I am losing weight. Getting help with my hearing from The Hearing Center was the best thing I ever did!
Natasha H.
I have visited many different hearing care providers over the years but none compare to the level of care I have received from Dr. LaBorde and the staff at The Hearing Center. I can honestly say they have changed my life by helping me to regain hearing clarity. I highly recommend them.
Robert S.
I first noticed my hearing loss when I was having to ask people to repeat themselves a lot. I decided to get my first hearing test and I was very impressed with the service from The Hearing Center. The people were friendly and knowledgeable. Now, I would not be able to cope without my hearing aids. I can now carry a conversation. I can highly recommend seeking help from The Hearing Center if you are struggling with a hearing loss.

My hearing loss started when I was just 10 years old as a result of multiple ear infections. I was really struggling to hear, and as a result, I had to have a lot of ear construction to save my hearing. I was told that I would never be able to hear certain tones again. For many years, I was living in a world of isolation and I believed that there was no way that I would get all of my hearing back. I had an opinion that hearing aids were for older people. When I first approached The Hearing Center, everyone was very warm and welcoming, and it did not matter how many questions I had. They answered them and were very patient with me. They fitted me with hearing aids and the results have been life-changing. I can hear my children. They can no longer come up behind me and scare me! I feel less tired, I have more energy, and as a result, I am losing weight. Getting help with my hearing from The Hearing Center was the best thing I ever did!

I have visited many different hearing care providers over the years but none compare to the level of care I have received from Dr. LaBorde and the staff at The Hearing Center. I can honestly say they have changed my life by helping me to regain hearing clarity. I highly recommend them.

I first noticed my hearing loss when I was having to ask people to repeat themselves a lot. I decided to get my first hearing test and I was very impressed with the service from The Hearing Center. The people were friendly and knowledgeable. Now, I would not be able to cope without my hearing aids. I can now carry a conversation. I can highly recommend seeking help from The Hearing Center if you are struggling with a hearing loss.

The first time I noticed signs of a hearing loss was back when I was with the Memphis Police Force on the first anti-sniper unit (SWAT) team. Shooting many rounds of guns a week led to ringing in my ears, which it seemed was the start of my hearing loss. The Hearing Center is the very best in the business. They were the most helpful in the profession that I had seen. Since getting my hearing aids, I have no regrets. I enjoy my life much more with my hearing back intact. If you are considering using The Hearing Center, expect to be impressed by the best in the hearing aid business. It’s wonderful to hear well again and I can’t thank them enough.
