PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — KOIN 6 News anchor Jeff Gianola suffers from profound hearing loss as the result of Meniere’s disease, a progressive disease that destroys the hearing and balance function of the inner ear.
Jeff has suffered with this disease for more than 4 years. He offered some personal thoughts after visiting Tucker Maxon School, which serves as a beacon of hope for hearing-impaired children.
“Visiting the school, and seeing how the children learn and communicate, was very inspiring to me,” he said. “It really changes lives, and offers hope to parents.”
