3歳時に失聴。中学三年次まで一般校で学び、高校でろう学校に転入しました。大学一年の時に人工内耳を埋込みました。人工内耳装用児者にとって、手話は音声言語以上に精神的な安定をもたらす言語であると信じ、現在、ろう学校主任教諭として教育活動を実践しています。

I lost my hearing at the age of three. I was educated in a general school until the third year of junior high and then transferred to a high school for the deaf. I received a cochlear implant when I was a freshman in college. I believe that sign language provides more emotional stability than spoken language for children with cochlear implants, and I am currently teaching in a school for the deaf as a head teacher to put this belief into practice.
