she was limited. Ashley is not seen as handicapped in any of the communities she is a part of. Anyone no matter who you are can learn something from Ashley. She has an inspiring story. She put herself in a situation where she had to compete with hearing males when she is a Deaf female. She is an inspiration to deaf people because she never saw herself as limited. She learned to ride a motorcycle based on the vibrations instead of the sound she makes jokes about not being able to hear the smack…

By the age of eleven, she had implants in both ears. “Luckily, in the years leading up to my implants, before I lost all sense of hearing, I was able to develop the strong speaking skills I have today,” said Zahneis.
