Some are. I assume it depends on the extent of hearing loss and the amount of time they have been deaf. Someone that has been completely deaf since birth will not be able to speak (assuming they don’t have hearing aids) I was watching a documentary about a catholic school for deaf children active in the 1960s, and one of the students interview (now an adult) mentioned how many of his fellow students were actually illiterate or only semi-literate in written English. Back then many were only taught, and only communicated in, ASL

My sister in law and I do it. She is blind I'm deaf. I read her lips and I can speak so I can describe and talk back. She was born blind, I went deaf. It's even funnier with our kids. Her son will tell me something In the car but he sits behind me. Blind sister rides up front passenger I'm middle kids in back. So she will turn around to face the general direction I'm in and repeat what was said. Then I can reply. Her son will start talking about trucks or some things just out of the blue like kids do. So I describe what he is doing what we are seeing. It's funny to watch us.

Tommy made me see a whole new perspective about disability. Because of him I learned that a disability isnt something that makes you less than the other. Well technically or physically yes I guess but having a disability is not becoming a less version of you but instead gain more than what you could've. Our human body learns to adapt and disabilities opens new path ways and perspective to cope up with what is missing from us therefore making you technically "gain something than lose something". They see the world in a different way, they live the world in a different way but I dont think that makes them less than the other For all those people with disability, stay strong and be proud. For those who are blind, deaf, mentally challenged and all with other disabilities... YOU ALL DESERVES TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THE WORLD AND LIFE!

@ashleymitchell5384 3 года назад

Thank you, I'm not deaf or blind but I do have a disability. I recently have been diagnosed with epilepsy and its been better since I officially was diagnosed, because I was actually put on medicine to help me with it, but it is a big challenge because Im not completely sure what causes or triggers my seizures. Its not what everybody instantly thinks of, which is flashhing lights. I can watch what ever movies or videos and be fine (my EEGs both came back normal) but sometimes I just randomly start having auras and I its like I go into slow motion like I'm on auto pilot trying to tell myself what to do from the very back of my mind. Its taken me alot of time you even be able to warn the people around me because I have had to learn the signs from the inside and let people know on the outside. Though it's helped me understand the signs of my seizures a lot better.

My ASL teacher, who is Deaf and totally brilliant, says that deaf people think visually. They don't think in English, but will think in images, like a movie. Deaf people are not any less intelligent than hearing people. I mean come on, they can learn to speak English without being able to hear it! You might not know it, but ASL is a naturally formed language just as complex as English. It's easier for deaf people to understand sign languages because they are visual, 3D languages and very expressive. Children can also start to sign earlier than they can start speaking--as early as a couple months old instead of years. Some hearing people do also think more visually than verbally. This is common in autistic people, artists, and engineers.

Princess Of Darkness It's fucking hilarious get a sense of humour, a deaf, blind, homeless woman. Do actually think he's being serious, if so, you must have the brain of a peanut.

Ciaran she was deaf and homeless the most part of her life, but 2 years before her death she became blind. of course she wasnt deaf and blind her whole life.

I have a friend that is fully deaf from birth. My vision depends on the day, but generally it isn't much. We have kind of created our own tactile ASL where my hands cover hers, unlike how Rikki had her hand out flat. I can then sign back to her and she knows what I said because she can see. On days that my vision is cooperating more, I can get by some times without tactile ASL. However she has a habit of getting excited and trying to talk to me while I wash my glasses. I can't count the number of times I've said "I can't hear you. I'm blind." Without my glasses, I am estimated to have 20/400 or worse vision. It's interesting, but we make it work!

@ThePurpleSeahorse 7 лет назад

Friendship always finds a way! Thanks for sharing.

@TravilingMystery 7 лет назад

She's a super sweet person who under normal circumstances I wouldn't have met. (However she happens to be the little sister of my other friend. :) ) She and I are a lot alike, and though our challenges in life are different, we can relate to each other. Other people may discount others as friends due to the belief that they wouldn't be able to communicate. My hope was to show others that if you both want to, you can always find a way co communicate. You just have to take that childhood 'create a secret language with your best friend' thing to the extreme periodically, but it'a so worth it! She'a taught me a lot more than I could have imagined, and I've had a lot of fun adventures over the years because of it.

@jadenreeves5898 7 лет назад

If you were born blind, you would dream and think in sign language! If you could see before you went blind, you would dream as anyone else would!😃

@vaxerian2418 7 лет назад

that doesn't make any sense at all. why would a blind person dream in sign language, IF THEY CAN'T SEE? you can only see sign language. a blind person would probably dream like anyone else, except that they would see nothing :D

For a deaf/hard of hearing girl her speech is amazing!

@TheMasterpiecePD 7 лет назад

I wonder why all deaf people sound like when they speak their tongue is numb. Not trying to be mean, just curious. Does them not hearing their own voice make them speak like that, so they don't know how to pronounce things properly.

@beccat 7 лет назад

+TheMasterpiecePD I think so, I know someone who is deaf and she can't really speak, she can only mumble a few words.

@MultiSARAHGAGA 7 лет назад

+Becca T that's because she went to a public school and learnt how to talk and THEN went deaf when she turned 12, so she still has the knowledge of speaking bc she still went to public school even after it started
