So beautifully stated. Deaf folks do so much more work to communicate than hearing people do; I'm glad you've made this video to increase awareness of that. I wish you more ease in communication, and I hope the good folks of Scotland take up your challenge.
Hey have you ever gone through labour being deaf? I am applying to midwifery but im going to learn bsl first i just wanted to get a little idea of what it is like x
Childhood Memory:
I was on the train with my Nan, (who was deaf since she was very young). The guardsmen were joking outside the train and my Nan started laughing. She had been able to lip read wh1at they were saying. Xx
Such a lovely girl. I hope she finds what she is looking for.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I look forward to showing this video to our students who are learning Auslan (Australian Sign Language) in Melbourne Australia :)
This! Thank you for saying what I try to tell the hearing world of those around me.
Hi , I am from hearing world , in all respect I am interested to know more about the inner world of a deaf community , I am a filmmaker trying to contact people arround you in all patience to present a movie related to sign language....plz somebody help and support...
@nischaldambekodi2103 I would love to support you. Even though I've been labeled with the hard of hearing, I was never taught sign language, so I can not help you in that aspect. I rely on lip reading and can still hear even though hearing is declining as I get older.
I do not know many people in the deaf community as I do not have the resources in my area.
I am hard of hearing and have been taught in the mainstream school. I ifind this quite shocking how this was allowed to happen in the late 60s and seventys. Knowing now there was help for hard if hearing peaple. Im happy you have had opportunities to help you.
I'm 65 and lost my hearing at 7 years old. With the kind of work ethic I achieved and commitment to pursue and provide best for my family, I fought my whole career for my rights to work. I was not allowed to pursue my dream job, but only allowed to survive for retirement pensions. I unserstood my limitation, and chose a career to fit my abilites. However, In the hearing worlds uneducated perception, being labeled a liability, though fully qualified and highly trained for my choice of career job, silence is their favorite and natural weapon to keep those with the kind of drive, work ethic, determination to succeed to keep us deaf people from advancing and prove wrong. It's not easy to educate awareness of people like myself, yet it not easy for those to admit that it's not worth their time.
im 90% deaf i wear hearing AiDs i was born with a hearing disability but in my 40s i suffered a major lose of hearing .... i worked with cork deaf enterprises in cork city ireland where i set up their computer network... while i was there i learnt iSL .... i always get frustrated with people i know shouting at me instead of spelling the word that i missed in the middle of the f●cking sentence
Thank you for sharing your perspective. I am learning ASL, the problem is, I live in Montreal, and here it is French, so I would like to move to an English speaking Province to continue learning and communicating un ASL, but my immigration status does not allow it.
Isn't ASL fairly similar to FSL? You might be better in a French-speaking area than an English-speaking one.
hi
Working joust whait see but
Salam good Eid Mubarak
sign language is expensive
a good reason why the hearing world does not make it worth their time to have awareness anywhere, working world, family, some churches, and others. Its natural for them. And Ive been deaf since my childhood. Surviving in the hearing world and being called a liability that prevents me from being successful or fulfill a dream job to support my family, I was only alowed to survive, not succeed to provide better for my family. Im retired now. God has kept my head straight .
wasnt always deaf..
harsh but real world.. sorry (i hate bringing u to the real world but tbh the "hearing world: doesnt care" you make your way or dont figure it out )
Working joust????
Working joust .....????
I've recently made a close friend remotely who is at least half deaf and though I may never meet her IRL or even do video chats with her, I am browsing the internet right now with the intent to open my mind more to the deaf community (it wasn't fully closed before, but perhaps embarrassingly not open either), and I want to learn ASL. I've studied it a tiny bit in the past but never took it seriously until I found this friend. She has some kind of hearing aid but she doesn't like to wear it all the time, as I am sure many can relate to. She hasn't always been this way though. I'm not even sure she mastered sign language to be honest, but I want to learn it anyway.
