The article says this woman was born deaf. This is BS. Her response is too close to normal speech to be attributed to lip reading. This is some PR for free Healthcare
You obviously read the title thread without bothering to watch the video.......Her reaction was to the sounds which were being translated to her by the hand signing interpreter.
I have close friends who have twins which were born deaf, trained to communicate via signing and to read lips.
While they can read lips and sign, their problem is vocalizing words that they themselves can not hear..........
You might want to educate yourself on hearing disabilities before you condemn this video due to your own ignorance............
My first cousin became profoundly deaf before age 1. She went to the Houston School for the Deaf. They would not allow any sign language. She was forced to learn to lip read and speak. It sounds cruel, but Vicki could talk and sounded very close to normal. So normal, that many people did not realize that she was deaf. She was so happy when her children could hear. As babies they learned that mom could only hear high pitch squeals. Their cries were really strange, but got their mothers attention.
