Teenage girl is star musician who plays five instruments... despite being completely DEAF

Doctors are mystified as to why Aimee-Louise Paddock went deaf this May. Despite her condition she continues to excel playing five different musical instruments

A talented teenage girl who plays five instruments has won top marks in her latest music exam - despite being unable to hear a single note.
Aimee-Louise Paddock, who is totally deaf, was inspired to take up the saxophone after watching the cartoon character Lisa Simpson play it on TV's 'The Simpsons.'
The 18-year-old from King's Lynn in Norfolk also plays the flute, keyboard, piano and the guitar to a high standard. She has applied to study a four-year music degree course at the Royal Welsh College of Music in Cardiff.

Aimee-Louise lost her hearing in the left ear aged just 16 and became fully deaf in May. Doctors are mystified as to what has caused the sudden hearing loss after an MRI scan showed no sign of tumours or blockages.
The A-level student can only understand speech by lip reading but despite this she is a member of several orchestras including the West Norfolk Junior Youth Orchestra.
