“Did you really just say listen” 💀💀 im dead, love the fact even when ben is freaking out over going deaf and callum he’s still his snarky usual self. Max is really getting a good storyline and his acting so far has been amazing.
What Lola did with the phone was actually a good idea and someone please hug ben and never let him go. Also "did you serously just say listen?" was heart breaking and funny at the same time because it's such a Ben thing to say and shows that even though he has to live with this disability, hes still going to be the same Ben and his personality won't change
George Connor preach!! Especially since it’s basically confirmed that he lives. After all he’s going to be playing a huge part in Ben’s upcoming deaf storyline
"Did you REALLY say listen?!" I'm sorry but that made me laugh 😂 When this first came on I thought Ben would press the button when Jay said "what if Callum's died"
For the people who are confused:Yes Ben is permanently deaf basically, if he decides to have the surgery(it's optional) he'll get a varity of sounds, but they won't be heard the same way and he still won't hear properly ever again, Frankie is going to help him out through sign language, so he'll be learning sign language. I hope this was a help, it's sad but true.
The character of Ben isn’t exactly a decent human being. He killed Heather has been involved in people trafficking and drug dealing and blackmailed Martin into killing Keanu or so he believed. If there is such a thing as soap karma this is it - even though he will know doubt have this op and within a few weeks this storyline will be forgotten about!
Boy do I get a flashback seeing him do the hearing test. I had to do them too up until middleschool. After a while that beeping drives you nuts and you start imagine hearing it.... unlike Ben I can hear everything except the high notes, but both ears are messed up and I too have to resort to lip reading when it's noisy or echoing. Feeling for him
Gina Sigillito - My heart is 💔💔 for Ben when is this agony gonna be over. He needs Callum 😪 I said I was not gonna watch till Callum was safely back as I can't take this it's awful 😪😪😪
What he is deaf .Aww it must be the stress of Callum.Poor Ben.Lola & Jay must have been so much help this is brilliant!! Callum please be ok.Ben I’m so sorry you are deaf and I hope you have the operation so you will be better.Please don’t ignore it
I can really relate to Ben I have to wear hearingades in both ears I always have done it's genetic in my family so I think it's good that they are showing the struggles of being deaf
Poor Ben! 😭😭 This makes me want to learn sign language, I suppose it won’t be too hard! Lexi knows a bit!! And I guess once callum is back, he will be learning sign language as well❤️❤️ It’s interesting to watch for sure! I’m excited to see jay and Lola doing all the sign language and gestures 😂😂 I’m imagining that picture
Not being rude, but shouldn't a Dr who deals with hearing problems be better at communicating with people with BLOODY HEARING PROBLEMS. Stop ignoring Ben because he can't hear you....write shit down or talk slower for Christ sake. I mean what Lola is doing is better than what that usual sodding Dr is doing.
@@juliaoliveira-rebic1850 I have a disability too I have cerebral palsey, it's a mild case, but I can't use my right hand, so cause Ben has a disability that's why I like him I can relate, even though I'm not deaf.
Both sad and amazing. Learning more about Ben’s character past and what happen to him in prison was one more chapter added to his arc. This chapter of Ben maybe being fully deaf or having options to learn sign language is fantastic.
I can remember when I was at school and I suddenly went deaf and my eyes could only see what was in front of me and I was saying I couldn't hear my teachers and I think I shoughted I can't see you,because my teacher was standing beside me and I couldn't see her cos she was foggy and there was a floter in the centre of my vission and my TA was sat in front of me she was the only thing I could see i had to be sent home coz I fainted and just to say it's scary sometimes having an ear issue coz I Can effect your body around the nose brain eyes and mouth coz they in sum way are all connected so i can totally relate to this situation that poor Ben's in.
Being someone who has took a hearing test,i will admit its confusing.when i went to mine,i was inna black room where the person taking it was looking in.tbh i was nervous but after i got the results and i had really good hearing but im sensitive to sertan things.like multiple loud noises at once and when my mind doesnt like sounds i get a headache and hear ringing.tbh when it happens its painful and scary but im learning to get better
Hmm why would banging your head lead to permanent loss in your good ear and a deterioration in the bad one? Surely if one were to worsen and one go permanently deaf it'd be the other way around? And since when does banging your head lead to permanent hearing loss? I thought basically that the water damaged his hearing aid when he fell in the Thames, making it go all feedbacky and emit a high pitched note, sending him permanently deaf in his bad ear, and his good ear was temporarily dodgy because of a concussion Seems that's not what they're going for, not a doctor but this seems a bit iffy
It doesn't make sense to me either. I mean it would be a pretty crazy coincidence if banging your head leads to hearing loss in just that one good ear?? A concussion, yeah. But not complete hearing loss in one or both ears. How many times are football players hit on the head? Boxers? How many times was Ben beaten up and nothing happened?
@@tamara3161 he was already partially deaf in one ear and because he banged his head on the boat pretty hard, that caused him to lose hearing in his good ear. I googled if you can lose your hearing by hitting your head and it said "traumatic brain injuries can result in a variety of problems related to the ear, that includes hearing loss, dizziness, vertigo and tinnitus". So it's possible to lose both hearing in your ears. I don't know about footballers, I researched about professional boxers and it said "referees had to stop matches for head injuries, like concussions more often when boxers were wearing headgear" I don't know if someone of the information is legit but I thought it might help
@@tamara3161He didn't just lose it in his good ear. It made his left ear worse too. It's caused by damage to the auditory nerve/pathway which will have already been damaged due to his meningitis. Hearing loss does occur due to head injuries, and given that he smashed his head off the side of a boat, right above his right ear, it's not much of a stretch. Google head injuries and hearing loss. Also, It's a soap, so some suspension of disbelief is always required, and tbh this is the least unbelievable thing they've done in a while. I'm baffled by anyone (who is not simply an ableist bigot, wanting Ben to have his hearing) complaining about it.
He had meningitis as a baby which caused the hearing loss in the one ear. Banging your head hard against something could cause disarticulated middle ear ossicles which would cause a conductive hearing loss (problem with middle ear pathway). They replace the middle ear bones and you should be fine afterwards. With them recommending a cochlear implant would suggest a total nerve (sensorineural) hearing loss. He could have had an autoimmune disorder which caused the loss of hearing in that ear, which would be more accurate in this case. If he had a loss of hearing due to a head injury (rare), then he would be far worse off than he is right now.
Like your going deaf and all he can think is Callum,...... Dennis is dead ...........Bobby in hospital still only Callum it kinda beautiful his one track mind he loves him so much ......💙💛💛💛💛💙💙💙x x x x x by Thursday he's attacking the police and losing his mind ...x x x
where is Callum?!! OMG, I have no idea what this show is about. I would like to watch it...I think. Are they ever happy? How do I see this? I'm in the US. Thanks!
What the fuck.. wasn’t he half-deaf years ago? I swear the little kid AND the older chubby one both had hearing aids? So this isn’t new to him - at all 🤷🏼♂️
This whole "test" scene was deplorable. No professional audiologist in the U.S. would test a patient like this clown did. Im guessing the UK isn't that much different.
Lola says she knows a bit from watching CBeebies and Jay says she's "not exactly Mr Tumble" CBeebies is a kid's channel run by the BBC, and Mr Tumble is from a show called Something Special where he basically does sign language and stuff ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wxdgr3DORxs.html Terrified me as a kid and it still terrifies me now hahaha
The point is missed and it is in my view Copied. Why wasn't this 'raised' before? We all knew Ben was Deaf from 2007 and so on. I know water was involved and last week was epidemic. I don't know whether Corrie brought their own bit forward, but it just seems to me far too much of a coincidence everytime and the 'tit for tat' ruins it all from the start as Soap watchers sense it all.
Ben was not deaf. He was partially deaf in one ear. And has worn a hearing aid. How exactly are they copying a storyline when they script months in advance and the storyline was pitched by a writer who is actually deaf, on the EE team?
@Tauryan Couch they both matter, however Ben knows where Lexi is and he doesn't know where his missing boyfriend is. So I feel like thats a major problem right there, trying to find his boyfriend
the "Ben went completely deaf after bonking his head" storyline is rubbish ... instead of looking for the cause of the acute problem first, the ENT-doc suggests complex surgery for advanced cases of labirinthine deafness ... who´s writing nonsense like that and who´s the medical adviser on this show ... they both should be fired ...!!!
He's not an ENT. He's an Audiologist. Ben will have already seen a different doctor, had a scan before being sent to this guy. This is a preliminary appointment.
@@docstefmd830 I agree. Why not doing further testing if it is even permanent or temporary ? And why should a head injury suddenly lead to hearing loss in that one good ear? I love this soap and the ballum storyline but those last few episodes were all over the place. Plot holes, actions that dont make sense, people knowing where callum is but strangely no one just asks phil or shirley(stuart knows about the warehouse?Why doesn't he just go there?) where Keanu said he was and just searches in that place? Shirley knows Callum is kidnapped. Wwhy isn't she concerned with finding him? Why doesnt just someone pressure Karen to call Keanu to tell her where Callum is. As far as I know, Keanu was willing to tell Ben where Callum is and didnt want to kill him? Ben searched everywhere? Under a rock or what? The police is involved but they don't ask the people involved what they know.. Or asking Karen where her son is.They would've find him pretty easily. Sorry but that whole storyline doesn't make sense and they drag Callums kidnapping way too long.
@@tamara3161 ... exactly, dragging and misleading seems to be the only thing that´s happening in the Ballum-cosmos right now ... really disappointing! And as you said the first thing after a traumatic hearing loss would be to have a look if there´s any intracranial process going on, e.g. a severe contusion or even bleeding ... to assess if this could be temporary or how high the risk of lasting damage is ...
