**CAPTIONS COMING SOON**
Thank you for joining us this year in our festive jaunt to Christmas 🎄 Love to you all xxx
Thank you, I was panicking already
The link to the time code in the video when it starts isn’t in the description(if that makes sense) i just wanted to let you know
I made my phone christmassy so my lock screen is mostly christmassy pictures of you XD
thanks I have slow processing speed and need them to follow along your like the only one who always has them
Watching typically pulled together and totally classy Jessica SCREAMING at loud noises had me grinning ear to ear!
The way Jessica describes sound blew my mind.
Riight? "Falling sensation" I never thought of it that way, but spot on.
@Jules Herbert Also the Rubik's cube (made entirely of plastic) makes "a wooden sound", but somehow she hears that there is an unmoving part in the middle??
I only know that because I took one apart once.
Almost as if she’s blind. 😉
Same
“it’s crunkling!”
I'm so impressed with the way Jessica describes sounds, it's so interesting. I never have to think about how a tin can, tinsel or tape sound, I just hear and think, oh, it's *that* thing, inmedietely. Loving the video!
oml y’all are so adorable!!! 😭
Please take it easy on yourselves! Make Christmas what it’s supposed to be, happy and joyous for yourselves, and we’ll follow along. Who knew 2020 would be so life changing? Know we love whatever you produce, and that doesn’t change! ❤️
Watching this after the pregnancy announcement and I can definitely tell that there’s a bun in the oven!
You’ve made me into a Diet Coke addict and it’s my favorite asmr sound 🙌🏻🖤
Oh my God also your reaction to matches is my exact reaction to fire every time😂
Thank you for telling me about where you got the top. Yes! This year take it slow. 12 videos or 5 it's all great with me. I'll be here for it. Yay for new hearing aids! Yes 2020 has been a year, a big one. I'm wishing you and yours the best during this hard holiday season. You're good at sounds! Claudia got inventive with this one!
I love and support Jessica Vlogmas no matter what the form!!
I already love this Vlogmas
This was super cute! So excited for the rest of vlogmas! (I won't speculate, but best wishes to you and your family. I hope whatever is going on is resolved and everyone is well.)
I had a similar experience with improved hearing recently! Apparently I had big holes in each of my ear drums and I got one surgically repaired. My hearing is so much better now and I hadn't even realized how much I was missing. (I wasn't deaf but I had moderate to mild hearing loss)
12 days of Christmas, or so, lalala🎅🎄🎶🎵🎶
does this mean your hearing claudia for the first time?
Quite funny how startled Jessica gets haha. I’ve not been feeling so good so this was nice to watch.
Congratulations on your awesome new hearing aides!
I’m hoping that the stress is what’s causing my hair loss >.<
Also that’s super exciting with the hearing aids!!! Family friend had them and they were so frustrating for him especially the batteries as he was older and a lil bit fumbley
I don’t even celebrate Christmas but I wish Christmas crackers were popular across the pond
Winter theme?
Yes.
Me: but robins?? 🧐
In the US we associate robins with spring and cardinals with winter.
Interesting!
such a cute Christmas dress!!!
As an audiologist with 22 years experience, the sheer joy Jessica shows while talking about her hearing aids makes my heart so happy.
Was looking whether there's other happy audiologists here 😂 Its my favourite when people come back with a big smile telling me they can hear birds or something they haven't heard in years.
I used to suffer from a mild form of hear loss and tinitus, so this gave me a bit hope and lots of feelings of happiness for Jess! Trust me, it is so weird and sad to be in a position of a person who out of nowhere stops hearing normal sound while some are super loud and makes you crazy..... I was scared, had to stay in the hopital for 12 days... I had doctors telling me that if there is no change in 6 days, I am doomed. I feel so happy to be able to hear sounds now as I used to! I had very little support. I have a huge respect for doctors, for all people loosing hearing or sight. It is truely scary and for them necessary to have people who support them more than anything else in the whole world. Thank you for your work! It is higly appreciated ❤️😊
This reminds me of my daughter when she got her first pair of glasses @ 5 yrs old. She was amazed at the details in the trees and the bark and all if that.
Are we all just going to ignore the fact that Jessica can HEAR MORE SOUNDS?! That’s amazing! I’m so happy for you Jessie.
We saw this on her reels and it was magic 💛
A colleague got new hearing aids recently and it made her realise just how bad her hearing loss had got. She came out of the office once (I was on reception) and asked what the people in the next room were going with the door. They had just opened and closed it normally but it was so much louder than she was used to she thought they had slammed it.
I know! I'm so happy for her! I feel so happy for her happiness!
When she said she heard birds on her Instagram 💗 birds chirping is one of those sounds that are just so special to me.
I'm not a regular viewer: but I wonder, why she didn't get hearing aids sooner? Doesn't insurance cover them in the UK? I'm not meaning to be disrespectful.
When Jess said about the Rubik cube that it was parts moving around but one part doesn't, I genuinely though she'd developed super powers!!
Clever woman!
Agreed! This was really amazing!
Give her a year and she'll be a master lock picker
Seriously!
Definitely. To me it just sounds like a Plastic-y shuffling noise, but because I'm hearing and am familiar with that sound, I'd probably recognise it. Jessica doesn't have that experience.
I feel like this is just an excuse for Claudia to scare Jessica to death 😂
I know! It's like she's gone "What will get me into the Christmas spirit? I know - repeatedly terrifying my Deaf girlfriend!"
@@sianthesheep You mean "wife"?
@@sianthesheep wife ...
Jessica: There are noises and I am not appreciative nor did I expect.
@@NightOwlReader2790 Yes, wife! I was having a POTS brain moment!
This has the same energy as kids getting glasses for the first time and realizing that trees have individual leaves and I love it! (Speaking as a member of the four eyed crew 🤓)
Very true
Totally what I said driving home from the optometrist when I was 7!
This is exactly what I said! Along with "Mom! There are birds!! I mean like i can see the birds!!"
lmao i remember when i first got my glasses, the thing that struck me most was a clock in the shop that had accents in a dull yellow and blurry edges i thought were probably rounded but once i put my glasses on it turned golden with sharp edges i couldn't stop looking at it from over the glasses and then through them to compare and spot the differences. i wasn't a fan of the headache i caught within the rest of the day tho :|
@@mscowable being able to see birds blew my little mind!
"Is there anything else I'm forgetting that I'm stressed about?" - This pretty much sums the year up, I think! Looking forward to your Vlogmas videos and kudos on the intro, so festive!
It is such a mood!
describes me my whole life frankly but this year in particular
@@GBfanatic15 same
I started a 2020 journal (just me writing down everything happening) several months ago and I didn’t even make it all the way through March before lowkey giving up
11:48 It's so interesting to me how when she's trying to figure out what some of the sounds are, she's making movements with her hands that are almost identical to the ones Claudia is making. It's like she remembers the motions that accompany the sounds before she remembers what they are and doing the movements helps her make the connection? Man, brains are so cool!
it's a retrieval cue!!
@@amberdaze7892 ah, cool! There’s a word for it!
Amazingggg, that's so interesting!!
Today I learned Brits say "boiled sweet" and Americans say "hard candy".
Thanks! I couldn't figure out what "boiled sweets" were ^_^;
and Swedes say karamell about that type of candy. :)
Was just about to ask!
@@WateryStar I'm American and was lost too!
I had no idea Americans called it hard candy. In Australia we say lolly for candy/sweet so it's a boiled lolly.
I am recovering some functionality after seven years of being severely disabled and I gotta say, HARD RELATE on the novelty factor of such little things that healthy people take for granted! You are perfect even without your hearing but I am excited that you get to experience new sounds, especially those of Christmas.
and i’m excited for you!! disabled solidarity here 💕💕💕
Glad to hear you are recovering. It can be a long road.
Wynne! Hello!
I cannot tell you how hyped I am for this Vlogmas
I wear the same hearing aids! don't know why I felt like I had to say that but I thought it was kinda cool
It is & they're really good from what I see 👍
What are the hearing aids they look amazing
me too! at least i think so, they’re very similar :)
@@maggiestaunton you can see the info at 4:34 , they're called Resound
My grandpa has an older versiin of the ones Jessica wears but without phone controls and chargable batteries.
Please don't worry about not doing as many vlogmas videos this year. It will just make every one more special and unique, the perfect end to this tumultuous year. Love you lots, and my notifications are always on!
Agreed!
Reasonable goals, yay!
I appreciate the volume control for the screaming
loud sounds like that make me really anxious and often times I find I have to turn videos' sound down a lot
thank you :3
Jessica is honestly better at guessing sounds than I would be, and my hearing is completely in-tact.
Having grown up with 60% hearing loss and regaining a lot of it after an operation as a child and going through a similar experience again when getting hearing aids as an adult, I can say that when you get a sudden step up in hearing ability you actively hear more than 'normal' hearing people for a while until you adjust. This is because your brain needs to learn from all the new sound it can now hear, which sounds are 'normal background' that don't need to be noticed too much. Before that happens it triggers all new sounds as 'high alert full attention hear this' processing. I actually was told by the Dr to not wear my hearing aids in louder setting like by a road until my brain had re-trained some background noise out so I didn't get overwhelmed and scared. I also understand Jess's terror at the slightly louder sounds. I was terrified to flush the loo for months after the operation as a child because of how loud and scary it sounded. I would literally run to the other end of the house to make the sound as quiet as possible!
Congratulations Jess on your new hearing abilities, it is so magical to hear new things xx
@@growley333 me and my mum were talking about this the other day. When she first got her hearing aids fitted she could hear people talking across the room as if they were talking right behind her
@@growley333 That makes a lot of sense, thank you for sharing💙
She needs a break after the match strike.
😂 I know right!
once a deaf man told me went he got new hearing aids he discovered that computer mice make a clicking noise and how he asked the doctor to tune them so he couldnt hear nails against a calkbored
I love that Jessica turned down the sound when she screamed or the sound was really loud, I really appreciate that and I'm sure many others do too!
Yes! I'm very thankful. I couldn't have seen it otherwise.
Yes big same.
so true! was about to comment this myself :)
Ιn hindsight, I love how Jess tries to keep from smiling while she's trying to explain the "personal reasons" vlogmas was different.
Anyone else really excited that Jessica can hear more things?
Yes!!
I cried a little when she was listening to the birds. I love the sound of birdsong. I never realized that I took it for granted.
When my aunt got her hearing aids she cried...she had forgotten what the birds sounded like. I am so glad you're getting new sounds!!
I saw when you got fitted for your new hearing aids and could hear birds I was so happy for you!!!!;
Don’t worry about not posting as many! Honestly I can’t keep up when youtubers post everyday and your health is more important
"To get us in the mood"
*wiggly eyebrows* "get us in the mood for anything?"
"put your blindfold on then darling"
i. love. this. so. much.
Iconic 💖
12:42
Yes, it was so funny!
I love your pfp
@@Ash-kw2nd jkjksqjskjhahh thanx
This is like asmr, scaring Jessica every now and then as an option
16:22 Jessica your lipstick is immaculate and none of it got on Claudia’s lips!!!! What kind of makeup witchcraft are you using that is so incredibly kiss proof?!
It's not makeup witchcraft, it's just witchcraft
I think I remember her using revlon's liquid lipsticks or rimmel or something like that? I have the same product and it stays so we'll!
I don't remember exactly what she uses, but the KVD matte liquid lip doesn't move. Try that.
She used to use Maybelline's Super Stay Matte, and when she tested clean beauty stuff I think she liked the Beauty Bakerie or something like that?
But yes, KVD Vegan beauty also does amazing liquid lipsticks.
@@carameldare while this is true, i found it sooo drying
Those hearing aids are awesome! I think you might actually be more in tune with what you are hearing than people who can hear and take it for granted. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten the tinsel, Rubik's cube or the sweets if I was blindfolded.
Can we talk about how Jessica is better at describing sounds than most hearing people? Like there is no way I would be able to describe the sound a Rubick’s cube makes to someone who has never heard it before.
anyone else here after ~the announcement~ imagining how happy jessica will be to hear her baby crying
The accuracy of the guesses is blowing my mind. Especially the Rubik's cube! That was impressive.
The “mechanical, wooden sort of sound” was how I’d describe it too!
I was mind blown too when she said there was a part of it not moving like how could she hear that thatˋs truly impressive...
I love how the "startling noises" content warning is really just for Jessica's screams at any mildly abrupt sounds 😂
I am literally so impressed with Jessica's ability to describe sounds and guess. The rubik's cube one was insane
Watching this after the "Surprise" video is HILARIOUS.
Does this mean we all know now what's that family matter? Haha.. Congratulations!!!!
*the sound of my wife eating a boiled sweet*
Vlogmas is here! Sidenote: could you do a tutorial on your hairstyle for this video? It’s so pretty!
I need to see Jess reacting to ASMR videos with these new hearing aids!
I woke up today, rushed downstairs to open my advent calendar, and then waited patiently for the first video of Vlogmas 2020. I haven't even started, but I'm so excited!
I love advent calendars!
Me, my mom and sister made one with small gifts for my grandparents this year. Because it’s not going to be a normal Christmas.
Highly recommend, it was loads of fun
@@IQzminus2 aw that is a fun and very sweet idea.
I’m so excited for your new hearing aids! I remember when I finally got glasses as a child (I was veryyyy near sighted and we didn’t realize until I bombed a vision test at school haha) discovering all these new colors in the trees and other far away things that I couldn’t see before. It was a really magical experience so I can only imagine how exciting this is for you! Also looking forward to whatever videos you’re able to post this month 🥰 please do not put yourself under too much pressure to release them, we know how rough this year has been
YAY!! Vlogmas with the Kellgren-Fozards is finally here!
She looked at the bump when she said personal family thing they cant talk about lol.
It's wild how much you can hear now!
There is nothing like a fancy new hearing aid. I’ve had my new one just over a year and songs can still catch me off guard with their beauty. Enjoy it❤️
When my friend got hearing aids for the first time it was amazing and I remember her standing in our school library and quietly saying "I can hear the rain". It's one of my favourite memories.
I’m here after the baby video! Congratulations to you both!
The way you describe new sounds is totally fascinating!
I love that the auto-captions picked up “I’m just really into my hearing aids” as “I’m just really into my husband” 😆
HAHHAHAHHA well... not sure that's correct
Technology is amazing, it blows my mind and melts my heart to see a deaf woman be able to hear again!
Coming back to this after the pregnancy announcement is interesting. I thought originally they were talking about an adoption journey
Really hope the private thing resolves in an okay way! Sending lots of love to both of you.
idk if u saw but her wife is pregnant
👶
Americans almost never associate a body problem with stress and go right to, "If I am having a strange bodily issue I must be very ill or dying", but then again, medical bills are a thing in the US, so nothing gets done in a lot of cases anyway, so you just anticipate dropping dead or adding to your massively crushing debt you probably have by that point. These new hearing aids are amazing. It's almost like you're not deaf anymore with them functioning properly.
Until she takes them out for a bath 👀😂
@@coramcvey270 Unless she was going to get her head wet, she wouldn't necessarily have to take them out.
@Hellena Rose I see your point, but in my experience it's usually insurance trying to wiggle out of having to pay the doctors more than it is the doctors refusing to take it. They just want to get paid, they don't actually care whether the money came from you or the insurance company. As for the anxiety inhaler, do you happen to remember what the medicine it had was? There are actually a few inhalant medications that have been shown to be effective at treating anxiety, so it was most likely one of those.
In my case it depends on the problem. If it correlates exactly with my stress level, I assume it's just stress. If it persists even when I'm less stressed, that's when I generally assume there's some underlying problem. Like my irritable bowel syndrome, which my primary doctor insisted was just stress, and would go away in six months or less, every time I brought it up for the two years that it went untreated! :D Then I got fed up with asking her about it and made appointments with several specialists without a recommendation from from my primary care doctor (which meant insurance wouldn't cover it) to find out why the left side of my lower abdomen was swollen and distended with pain in the swollen area off and on. Now I have some medications that seem to be helping some, but I'm still not sure if that's actually my only problem...
Is this related to stress - probably! But even if you know something's caused or worsened by stress, after a certain point and a certain level of pain, you should still seek help. And if something really freaky happens out the blue, go see a doctor, obviously. Examples of really freaky: a large lump that doesn't go away (possibly cancer - happened to my mom,) severe abdominal pain after being struck in the stomach by a rogue basketball, followed by nausea that doesn't go away (turned out to be appendicitis - happened to me,) difficulty breathing after being stuck in the chest by another rogue basketball (turned out to be a cracked sternum - also happened to me,) sudden loss of sensation in limbs despite being able to move them, accompanied by aching joints, nausea, chills, and abdominal pain (no one figured out what that one was, but they gave me pain killers at the hospital, did some bloodwork, and monitored my vitals, until I started to recover after about six hours, so they just told me to come back if it happened again)
@Hellena Rose because not proven and American health care insurance is a joke in general
Do I need to be the first one to say I really need Jessica’s festive mistletoe blouse in my life?
Right? HOW DO I GET IT
It's from Hell Bunny
@@nurek168 Hey thanks!
I thought it was holly
So, one of my favorite sounds, and the one that a friend was fascinated by when she heard it for the first time, is a cat purring. It’s so soothing.💕
I don't know if my question is stupid, if so please educate me. Watching you guess the first sound made me think: can you experience ASMR now? What do you think about it?
Omg this is such a good question!!
That's a good question. As someone with synesthesia and a permanent ASMR, it's often linked not just to the sense of sound/hearing, but how your brain processes said sounds. So I can hear colours and see sounds and get ASMR full body when I hear certain regular things or even when I read some things. Thus we would have to explain to her what ASMR is and then once she knows you can ask her this question as it's a damn good one!
@@sersastark I don't understand ASMR. I don't have misophonia but ASMR makes me understand misophonia. I wonder if it has to do with my neurodiversity.
Honestly the fact that we are merely able to celebrate Christmas this year is incredible. That you are even able to do 12 days of vlogmas is above and beyond. I am personally just thankful
lol watching this after watching your latest video - congratulations
God, 2020 has been the worst. I'm glad I found you guys. It's nice to spend 20 minutes with you two not feeling the suck.
You know how we know these hearing aids are good? She's so, so much louder than usual 😅 It means she can actually hear own voice better than she could before and her brain's loving it.
The rubik's cube was truly impressive.
Does this mean that Jessica now knows what Claudia's voice sounds like?
She can hear, so yes...
I think her hearing lost was gradual, I'm not sure if she completely deaf from her left ear when they met, but she had a partial hearing on the right side, she could hear but not always understand. I guess since they have been together and they are close she could hear her voice. Still it's amazing
Coming back to watch them talk about how there sometime happening in the background of their life now that we know it’s a baby 🥲🥲🥰
I have a COchlear BAHA and my implant connects to IPHONE (with the MADE FOR IPHONE) system. I can listen to Netflix directly into my implant (which uses bone conduction so I can hear NETFLIX in my head...which is weird). I can also adjust the programs for the types of environments and, finally, with IPHONE I can also use LIVE LISTEN which allows me to use the IPHONE speaker as the input in super noisy restaurant environments. They use the same accessories as RESOUND so I can buy the mini mic for speaking / teaching environments and I can use the TV Streamer to stream TV directly to my implant and another mini mic system connects to FM T-coils. If I had an Android phone, I can use the Telephone bluetooth adaptor to connect my implant to the Android phone via Bluetooth. With the latest IOS 14 updates, I can also use my Made for Iphone hearing aids with airpods or Apple earphones to hear sound in BOTH devices at the same time (which is amazing).
SAME THINGS happened to me when I got my cochlear implant! It's like, "what is that sound?!" :)
I’m sorry there’s been family things going on! I hope you two will be adding to your family soon, too! I know pre-pandemic that was a hope of yours!
I bet the private thing is that one of their family members suddenly turned into a werewolf.
In all seriousness, I hope whatever the private thing was has been resolved.
It feels like only 3 months ago it was vlogmas 2019... What a sh*tshow of a year 😂
Also, new hearing aids wooooo!
I nearlyn had a heartattack😮😮Being danish I sometimes watch videos with english subtitles, and when Jessica said "I am deaf" the subtitles wrote "I am dead" So glad to see you alive❤️
YESS VLOGMAS is it gonna be gay.... i hope its very gay... :))
Oh wow I finally got the notification this time
This is the year I've finally accepted I'm disabled! My conditions have slowly gotten worse until I can't hide it anymore. I've also gotten an assistance dog this year so learning to be visible in public. Embracing the disabled identity and community, mostly online as remote island living is difficult when you're different.
*sending hugs*
Good for you! My dad is "blind" (most aren't 100% blind) and he's been making me pick up the slack for decades...kind of annoying, like when someone asks you to translate everything someone else says
for other hoh folks, caption clarifications:
10:13 Claudia: If you stop talking people can actually listen to it as well.
10:22 Jessica: Oh, it's that one!
12:01 Jessica: This sounds like a lot of sounds!
14:02 "buy gadgets"
14:57 Jessica: Knocking it out of the bag today!
15:18 "Christmas cracker"
15:31 Jessica: Because it does say "don't point it at face thing". Oh, wow!
Claudia: Let's read the joke.
15:39 Claudia: I don't think--it's a joke, darling, it's not a real--
(and then) 15:40 Jessica: Eight!
15:53-15:56 Claudia: No-el. That's pretty bad. I still laughed.
15:57: "guess who you're thinking of"
16:25: Jessica: I am really impressed with myself.
16:40 Jessica: --sit their Deaf relatives down and be like, Game Time!
16:41 Claudia: It doesn't have to be a Deaf person, it could be like any person!
16:48 "your hearing friends"
this is the cutest flipping thing I've ever seen. Y'all are simply too much.
Whether it’s 12 or 2 or 24 videos, I’m just happy to spend some time with you. Happy Vlogmas everybody!
And you! :)
I remember the poll for picking the colour of your new hearing aids, what colour did you end up getting?
Jessica was just saying a fact about something and then immediately repeating it in a similar manner and I was like: "oh, really great. she wanted to let things about her memory loss in the videos." but I didn't realise that I just accedentally hit the 10 seconds backwards button😂😂😂
In the comics, Hawkeye the Marvel superhero was deaf and wore hearing aids. Yours seem very cool and high tech like for a superhero
these two saying "darling" like if you agree
I'm so happy for you Jessica!! Your reactions were priceless ❤
How wonderful to get better hearing! Except for matches! So happy for you!
I guess now you can hear your voice, don't you? Like from one of your videos?
Your hearing aids may be better than a baby monitor. Just pop an old phone with the app in the room and boom
