Thanks for the reply. I'm more surprised that built-in captions weren't added. I suppose that could be time consuming and costly. I'll look for the YT captions.
Efrain Ovalles You did not understand the point of her talk. Watch the talk again and try to understand why she is meaning by the limitations and the boundaries placed on her in the hearing culture vs the limitations and boundaries of the Deaf Culture.
Aural is correct. Derived from the Latin word "auris" meaning hearing or of the ear. "Aural" has essentially the same meaning as its Latin root. Wow. I really *am* a word nerd. If you need me I'll be questioning my life choices.
Deafness IS a disability, denial isn't gonna change anything. If deaf people want to take comfort in their own community and develop their own culture, I don't have a problem, but don't expect sane people to just accept it when anyone insists that deafness is not a disability, only an identity.
I agree. What we should start with is making disability a less stigmatizing word and enhance peoples ability to ask for help with out shame. What we should not do is convert society so that everybody with any sort of disability can be accommodated everywhere always. society is made for those considered normal which is just what is the most common and each less common thing is accommodated as money and time allows until it gets to the minuscule amount of people in society.
In a sense you are right but when you are deaf you feel this way -- that you ARE capable, not disabled. It's just different. For me, I am acutely aware of others eyes long before they are aware of me - it's how I read what is going on long before any pertinent sound is present. I really get what she is saying. For example I have a much longer attention span/focus than most people and when I start talking they often do not get my immediate speech until (and IF) it is allowed to wrap around and come back to the overall point I am trying to make.
John Possum congrats, you have other abilities. But you are still disabled in that you do not have a sense most others do and should be born with. In some cases that can be used as an advantage but overall it is a detriment.
I am not so sure it is clearly that definitive as you make it out to be. We are all different and have differences regardless of our senses. One thing I that happened as a result of my ear surgeries was that I stayed home a lot with mom. Mom in turn taught me how to make & work many kinds of dough and before I was even an teenager I was beating women who had cooked lifetimes more than I at the local county fair judged by people who saw none of our details....... including ages, hearing, etc...
Someone being deaf is closer to someone who went to a foreign country and didn't speak the native language. If you came across someone who only spoke Spanish, I seriously doubt you'd call _them_ disabled. It's pretty much the same thing with a Deaf person: any spoken language is not their native language. They can learn to understand and speak a spoken language (as Lauren Stevens did) but it takes a lot more effort because even if they _are_ fluent in that language, it is not their native language. That's why they have Deaf culture classes, similar to Asian culture classes, but you never hear about "Blind culture" or something. The so-called "disability" of deafness is really not much more than a language barrier.

Lauren Stevens thanks for the video. Someday the masses will understand you. Good job.
No captions - seriously? Especially considering the subject matter?
Avalon Avarice it has them on my end...plus it’s TH-cam that does the captions not TED
Working for me. The YT alogrhythm (sp?) has grown a lot in the last year.
Hi Avalon! I'm the organiser of this event.
Captions will go up, but TED says it can take a bit of time.
Thanks for the reply. I'm more surprised that built-in captions weren't added. I suppose that could be time consuming and costly. I'll look for the YT captions.
Because it's for the hearing. The deaf already know.
Hi Lauren, Kristen from NP here - great to hear you have embraced NZSL - so powerful and mesmerising! What are you studying?
On Of Them Said,,So When You Meet Someone ,,.When You See Someone Different Than You Think Not About What They Are and Instead Ask Who are You
Awesome speech Lauren :)
Super as usual
Very interesting video!
Até o TED falando de surdos essa semana
Meanwhile the anosmic among us get no love. *I demand* equal representation in the media for those born without a sense of smell in a world that can.

Aural? oral?
