that true and i agree i am deaf and i love it! also i believe deaf people can do anything!
@309893 She’s not stroking it, she’s adjusting it to fit comfortably to the area around her.
don’t be a dumbass
Why is she um, stroking, her heraring aid?
its like hearing in a water but its very different
there is nothing wrong with being deaf. i have high frequency and half the kids at school have no clue i’m deaf even though i have some help.
I’m a hearing imparied person but my hearing is not extreme as the person who’s an hearing imapired on this video.
I believe all hearing imapried people have differnt kinds and degress of hearing.
i would rather be blind than hearing impared i am visually impared but i feel more for the hearing impared
It is more than that. It increases social isolation and depression because you can’t enjoy the things life brings you. You can’t communicate, you can’t listen and of course, there is music. Music is beautiful, and very challenging. I want to see a cure to end hearing impairment, so I don’t have to rely on expensive hearing aids that can’t duplicate the natural enhancement of hearing. And then there are batteries that are wasteful and damaging to the environment.
This is a major reason why I don’t socialize.
I really like the video and the whole concept there. Very good.
I did not say there was anything wrong with the mind. If you research hearing impairment is what it is called in special education. I also said nothing about not being able to see. Also there are going to be modifications made for these people are successful and that is what special education does for people.
No it does not. It just mean you have hearing lost- there- nothing wrong with your mind!
Person who wear glass does not need special education- My ex girlfreind before could see and went fishing something bad happen – wont go in detail but and now she can no longer see but she is the smartest one in the school 4.00 when we were in high school and she love to dance!
Agree- I am professional Ballet dancer who now work with 8 different dance company and I am deaf. I was kind of shock about this video- Funny thing is alway felt deaf people alway look both way across the street because they are not trying to listen for the car – they are watching out for cars the whole time. google Antoine hunter – he explain about deaf life.
I was refering to susccessful Deaf adults that use signed language (ASL, BSL, whatever) as their Native Language …
(Part 4) The major reason why hearing impaired is still used is because doctors, audiologists, hearing schools and other hearing professionals have yet to be educated about these politically incorrect or correct terms. A group of people should be labeled as they want to call themselves, not as the oppressive majority group deems to be correct.
(Part 3) There is an incorrect notion that Deaf/deaf refers to those who cannot hear at all and hard of hearing or hearing impaired refers to those who can hear some. The deaf community knows that everyone has varying degrees of hearing loss but this doesnt seem to be a concept that the hearing community can grasp yet. Just like there are varying degrees of eyesight and strength of glasses, there are varying degrees of hearing loss and strengths/types of hearing aids and cochlear implants.
(Part 2) Even though there is no precise translation for DEAF, deaf people still prefer to retain the English word deaf instead of hearing impaired. Hearing Impaired has no historical ties to ASL and deaf people and furthermore Deaf people dont believe they have an impairment in hearing which is why they consider themselves not hearing. You dont call those in a wheelchair walking impaired or those who wear glasses or are blind seeing impaired.
(Part 1) I am deaf and am reading this book “Inside Deaf Culture” written by Carrol Padden and Tom Humphries. In the 1960s and 70s, as Deaf and ASL users were embracing their culture and allowing it to go public, the term deaf was replaced with hearing impaired in the English language. While Deaf people sign themselves DEAF, it cannot be literally translated this way in English as there is cultural meaning behind this sign that gets lost in the English language.
Hearing impairment is what it is called in special education.
Was that aimed at me? The: “have you actually met any deaf people?” Of course i have, my son has hearing loss, so yes of course i have.
I too, didn’t mean to come off as offensive. I am hard of hearing and I think it can be very benefical to learn spoken and signed language, especially at a young age. Just something to think abt…
It is extremely helpful though id a deaf/ hoh person can sign. Have you actually met any deaf people??
OMG okay…To start off, Hearing Impaired is very insulting to the deaf community because they are in no way impaired at all. They just have a hearing loss period. The politically correct terms are deaf or hard of hearing and news flash if you can’t hear well enough to communicate with people without your hearings, you are deaf regardless of if you were raised oral or went to deaf institute.
It’s ironic, isn’t it?
This video about hearing impaired has no closed captions available.
It is a shame that this is not captioned for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. It has good information in it, but I would never share this with a group I was working with because it does not allow some one with a hearing loss to participate in it.
Shame, shame, shame…
Dude not cool now you know how I feel i’m hearing inpaired!
Eeh, I can’t hear so well. . . An hearing impaired video and no text and a person speaking fast?
Crap!!!
Very well done vid. This segment of our population should be the easiest to help. It’s sad but.
95 million Americans use captioning.
28 million Americans are hearing impaired.
30 million Americans are learning English as a second language.
27 million Americans are improving their literacy skills.
10 million Americans are school children learning to read.

the last three levels of hearing loss are moderate, profound, and severe. i’m considered profound and i have a 70 percent hearing loss.
I have 75 percent hearing loss what degree of hearing loss is this considered?
I was tested 4 times from audiologists
and 1 time by ENT doc
HIgh frequency and distortion loss
I do lip reading now and know some ASL
so what degree is this considered??
hearing impaired video, yet no closed captions avail, and she is talking super fast
brilliant
idiots………..
I wonder if a Neurophone would work good for a deaf person.
I am deaf-blind and i have a pager system i ware that vibrates to let me know if the phone rings, the door bells is used or a fire alarm goes off. I also use a shake-awake clock that i can feel that lets me know to get up on time. Saying that you “can’t” is definatley not right. There are always ways to do things with modifications or changes.
Sign on! Sign on!
Yeah I was wondering where the subtitles were myself…
Isn’t it ironic that a video about the hearing impaired, doesn’t have subtitles?
cochlear implant is sucker. do not take it.
” not worth it”.
I agree. I lived with a group of deaf girls. Barely any of these “tips” would help at all. Also there are dorrbells, and fire alarms, and even alarm clocks that flash lights or vibrate. Saying that they “can’t” use these is not right at all!
Wow… I suppose this video is for dealing with the “hearing impaired”, not the Deaf community. This video is definitely not a comprehensive guide in understanding Deaf individuals.
