There was a blind student in one of my classes and the teacher would always talk to him very loudly, until one day he said, "I'm not deaf, I can actually hear much better than you can."

Tommy: 🙈

[@R3D_M4N]

Him: I'll be your ears.

After watching this video, I feel so grateful that I can see and hear.

"Two disabilities for the price of one"

I never knew about tactile sign language, it's quite a gentle thing to watch

[@Tula1940_LB]

Pro tip... If someone is cussing you out in sign language...

[@DChappelle27]

One method is through an interpreter

[@BrandonSmith-dd6kv]

Hear no evil, see no evil

[@ImRhys]

[@height2931]

[@Scriptophobic]

Now I wanna see a romance movie of a deaf person and a blind person.

[@aujaliquelafave337]

Every person who finds out I'm deaf "YOUR NOT DEAF YOU CAN TALK!" like Bach wtf

[@shinko6342]

My sister in law and I do it. She is blind I'm deaf.

[@freddesk1693]

Im sure that the 1 % dislikes are other blind persons trying to like the video XD

[@tygillespie2280]

Tommy. I am using voice over while I am typing this comment. I am blind too.

[@jonnypenn]

i'm assuming she is not cool with her mom. in the beginning she kept saying "the woman that i was born from" instead of saying "my mom"

[@nsd_nebulousdia1366]

Tommy made me see a whole new perspective about disability.
