在本期《都市脈搏》節目中,我們將帶您走進12年級學生Sophia Bao的世界。Sophia自幼被診斷為輕度至中度感音神經性聽力損失,4歲便開始佩戴助聽器。她在不同文化環境中成長,精通中文、英文和法文三種語言,這樣的背景讓她對醫學與科技產生了濃厚的興趣。

Sophia不僅是一位多語言的天才,更是一位充滿熱情的創新者。她從小便接觸各種醫療設備,隨着年齡的增長,她深入學習編程、工程和生物學,立志將這些領域結合起來,設計出真正能夠幫助他人的醫療設備。

Sophia最珍視的項目之一是她自主開發的聽力損失模擬器。這個項目旨在通過模擬不同程度的聽力損失,讓更多人切身體會聽障人士在日常生活中所面對的困難,從而增進理解與共情,並喚起社會對聽力健康和聽障群體的關注。

讓我們一同聆聽Sophia的故事,感受她如何用科技為無聲世界帶來聲音。不要錯過這次啟發人心的專訪!
