As I said above, how would you feel if you're deaf?
Yes, I am deaf. You can ask me questions if you want to.
Oh, and I'm just asking this question to you out of curiosity. smile.gif

I have two deaf uncles and a deaf aunt. It is sad that they cannot experience many things that we take for granted.
Colin
I would feel sad...no music :X

I would kill myself without music, but I would not have ever known the joy of music (unless its after birth) so idk :S lol
EMOruffino
Exactly with what Colin said, music is my life....
Eibwen
Well, I never knew what does the music sounds like. sad.gif
Darn my generation!
Ed
Are any of your other senses enhanced due to the lack of hearing?
Colin
I think thats how it is...Usually Deaf people are louder just because they can't hear themselves...I think that it would be better if I was blind, because then my sense of hearing would be better...While eye sight and smelling sutff is important, You can get good eyesight with glasses (usually) and as far as a better sense of smell goes...well lets just say if someone passes gas you would wish you didn't have it tongue.gif
Colin
Well you can make your sight better, I didn't say blind I was talking about how a better sense of sight usually can be achieved with glasses...
Alex
Hearing aids? Not sure on your point here tongue.gif

Well if you became deaf after being alive for a few years???
grumpy
i'd be annoyed. depressed, maybe.
but i'd get over it.
its not like eyesight. i need that.
if i was blind i would actually shoot myself.

like have you ever seen a blind man cross the road?
eyesight is bliss. i appreciate that. and i thank god that i have it.
Brandon
If i was deaf i wouldnt be as happy but you can learn to read ppls lips and stuff and you would have alot stornger abilites then other's
so its all cool

It is interesting how much a hearing person uses language, and I have always wondered what it is like inside the head of a deaf person. I know that I talk to myself in my mind but a deaf person does not know what different letters sound like.

I have a nearly deaf uncle he gotta go have brain surgery :'(
bezz
Which would be worse, to lose a leg or lose your hearing?
XyberForce
Lose your hearing. If I lose a leg, i would use it as an excuse to sit my lazy ass down on the computer all day. laugh.gif
Lee Page
I would feel like i couldnt hear anything..
Eibwen
Yes, I use my hearing aids but I'm horrible at reading the lips.
sad.gif

Brandon
