If someone is deaf from birth and gains hearing from implants later in life, you whisper in their ear and they can't see your lips they won't understand because they have never heard the audio before. Is this correct?

Yeah. Unless she is only partially deaf or had hearing before and lost it, she won’t understand him.

[-] Whirlygirl9@kbin.melroy.org 53 points 1 month ago

or he may have signed while saying it.

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 month ago

I think it would be instinct by that point.

In the beggining he said after a while she noticed or something like that so it means she had partial hearing loss.

I figured that she noticed him visually, a shadow was cast or she saw movement. Anon also said that she heard her mom "for the first time" when she got the implant.

Taking all this into account, while the greentext seems to have avoided the first label of homosexuality, the verity of the story nevertheless has to be put into question.

"I move closer to he"

Anon may be gay too

"a shadow was cast"

Ominous 😄

Yes, but it’s not just deaf from birth people. Your brain has to wire itself to understanding the signals from the implant

How could you possibly know what a visual representation of a sound sounds like if you've never had the relationship between the two pointed out to you??

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

If your whispered in their ear, then yes, if you've never heard English you can't understand it

I didn't see that in the post - lip reading would still that gap nicely, as would signing and speaking at The same time
