Posting on TikTok, Tasha said: "As someone that's hearing impaired I get really really bag migraines and headaches and honestly I get so drained, and it's so hard with festivals because literally like about three hours in I've got the biggest migraine because of the loud music and I'm having to focus in on conversations and what's being said and it is a lot.
"I feel like I want to come on and speak about it a bit more because I feel like there's not a lot of awareness about it. I also get such social anxiety as well going to like any kind of event or festival because I genuinely panic. Like even when I came to America and even like the border, I was so scared that I was panicking basically that I wouldn't be able to hear the questions they asked and I start to stutter quite a lot because my nerves start to come through.
"So I feel like when it comes to festivals and stuff I always panic that I won't be able to hear anyone or like have conversations and stuff. It's one of those things that goes through my head quite a lot, not even just festivals but any kind of event that I go to, I literally get into such like panic-mode.
"Today is the last day of Coachella and I really really want to go, I get such FOMO if I don't go, I with the migraine and the headache, it's a lot, and I just feel like I kinda just need to slow down, roll back, and just listen to myself basically. But I just wanted to talk about it because I know people that have disabilities, I call it my superpower, always listen to your body and don't always push yourself and don't pressurise yourself.
"Always listen to what your body needs, it's so important."
