According to sources, Birgitta Lindh is a well-known face at school graduations and church services for many Falköping residents. She has a severe hearing impairment, which was discovered when she was four years old. Few people know about her hearing impairment, and many church visitors have no idea how dependent she is on technology.
The specific technology she depends on for her work as a cantor has not been disclosed. Birgitta Lindh got hearing aids when she was four years old, which changed everything. She stated, 'A whole new world opened up.
Many believed that I would not be able to work with music – but I have proven them wrong.
' Music means everything to her, and she has worked as a cantor in Falköping parish for 25 years. However, her journey has not been straightforward. Some were skeptical when she first applied to the music program, and many believed she would not be able to work with music.
' Many people find it hard to understand that she, as hearing-impaired, can work with music, but people think it's fantastic – and she thinks so too. ' Some thought it would be tough for her to be 'exposed' to music all day. She sometimes gets tired and removes her hearing aids at home to recover in her quiet little corner.
A whole new world opened up. Without hearing aids, I hear nothing, I am essentially deaf.
Her current age is not known. Birgitta Lindh has proven those who doubted her wrong, continuing to serve her community through music.
They probably thought it would be tough to be 'exposed' to music all day and sure – sometimes I get tired, but then I remove my hearing aids when I come home and recover in my quiet little corner.
Many have difficulty understanding that I, as hearing-impaired, can work with music, but people think it's fantastic – and I think so too.
