WHAT?!!??!!?
...sorry
What a blog. It’s very bloggy.
Perhaps you should try to promote it.
My Hay-fever is acting up.
I had seen this video. I don’t think the girl is “hearing” in the sense we would normally use it. She’s getting electrical impulses, her brain is going to have to learn what the impulses mean. At this point, I expect the “sounds” only had meaning if she saw her parents talking so she could make the association (parents & sensation).
Poor little girl was scared.....She didn’t know what was happening...She’ll be great after she gets used to sound and learns language...
Dust, ragweed, pollen; something is messing with my eyes.
>>Hope the girl will hear forever!!!<<
The deaf community will reject it wholesale. They WANT their insularity and special perks. They REVEL in their handicap and do NOT want it fixed.
I know this for a fact — my sister is a sign language interpreter and I have spoken with people in that community. They LIKE being deaf.
They should monitor the girls’ brain during this. Hearing strongly stimulates brain development, and when adults become deaf without correction, brain activity can be substantially reduced. It may even lead to dementia.
She is obviously very confused with her new sense of hearing.
As a deaf in one ear individual from birth, I found this heartwarming to the max. Brought a tear for sure.
Too bad for me a hearing aid won’t work on my problem, but I think I’ve done well despite of that.
