why did no one see this when I made this weeks ago... imgflip.com/i/tsor3

They'd probably think in pictures, or something, like unto how animals probably think.

I agree
a deaf person can still read, they just wouldn't know how the words sound

Yep you get it on the internet all the time. It works both ways too. I'll never forget a guy who used to say "epitome" ep-i-tome. I was just dying and I said dude, you've heard people say that word before. It's "e-pit-tow-me" and I'd never seen anyone so embarrassed.Likewise the vicey-versey of that is when "might as well" becomes "minus well" or some such sillyness. You just have to smile knowing they spend either more time writing/reading more than they do speaking, or the other way around. So a deaf person (until they learn to read) just thinks in pictures. Same with can a blind person see when they're dreaming. Can a deaf person hear in their dreams. Can a mute person talk in their dreams. Etc.. Yep yep yep. :)

dayam…
this isn't english class, I don't need 5 paragraph essay
but that thing about a deaf person hearing in their dreams and a blind person seeing
I think the deaf person may believe he is hearing, but as his subconscious has no experience with it, he will not know the difference

What kind of English class were you in where two paragraphs some how equals a five paragraph essay? Is that some of the new common core garbage?

It depends, my daughter was born profoundly deaf, within days we had hearing aids for her and she could start to understand us. It's all about how fast the diagnosis is. Now what language? Children are such a sponge they'll pick up anything they see, you don't learn to pee in English do you? Lol. MemePally explains it well below, but the thing is that the diagnosis must be as early as possible, the first five years is crucial, if you find your child is deaf at 1 or 2 years old (don't laugh, it happens!). Your child is not going to learn as fast and may take till he/she is ten years old to catch up to his peers. I was lucky the the wife (now ex) jumped into action immediately! By the age of 5 she was at the same comprehension level as her peers and even went to a regular public school!! Oh, at 14 months she had a cochlear implant implanted in her right ear and it has been operating flawlessly. Nice meme by the way! It was so stressful that it caused a divorce, be mindful and kind to the parents and kids who have to deal with this, it's tough enough! Not that I ever thought y'all wouldn't , but I just had to say it because of my experience! Have a good evening! ;)

Yeah.

Being blind or deaf is a different experience from being born deaf or blind. I feel really sorry for those people

Don't feel sorry for them, they don't want you too! They didn't loose anything because they never had it in the first place. When you feel sorry for them, you treat them differently from the rest, they wanted to be treated the same as everyone one else. That's what many of the deaf children and teenagers told me. Really cool bunch of people! Remember, there other senses are heightened, they have skills you can't comprehend!! Lol

My brain just melted.

That's actually somewhat sad, I've never considered it before. Serious stuff here.

Yes, it is serious, but there's a good side to it, too! My wife at the time and I are rather loud when we talk, that's just how we are, but when she was sleeping, we could be as loud as we wanted to! That's was cool! And her being deaf didn't slow her down a bit, she had a blast doing everything a kid her age does!! The bad part: after her cochlear implant, she did NOT have listen to you if she wanted too!! She would stare my wife (I was the good guy parent) in the eyes put her hand on her head (where the prossessing unit is for the implant). and flick it off!! The wife did not like to be challenged! (We're talking about a 5' 10" 230lbs. Ukrainian woman who grew up in the Soviet Union!). I'd be on the floor howling! Then possibly getting a few punches, I was fine with that! Lol

As far as i know? mouth and hand since a person has both of the working.

Bitch dat be da same as askin' what colors a bitch born blind dreams in sheeee
