  4. I think sight is a more fundamental sense, at least for independence. But, I would hate to think I couldn't listen to music if I couldn't listen to any music.

  5. ano : i once worked with/for deaf people, one of the tricks when deaf, is holding a balloon - strange how your hands "feel" & "tell" you the music

    otherwise : deaf, would be able to go and see any concert which i don't like - hahaha "that'll show 'em"

  6. I saw this video elsewhere, it made me cry.

    I was appalled at the ignorance of those who made the comment (elsewhere) questioning how she can speak when she's deaf.

  7. hmmm...I question it's authenticity. Supposedly, she is 29 years old and has never heard at all before. Then, when she speaks, why is her diction so clear?

  8. At 1:10, the doctor says "You'll get used to all of it RETURNING".

  9. H, I know, for every positive comment, there's 100 negative ones. People enjoy complaining.


    Anon, I don't know her story well enough to be able to comment, but I'm sure there's plenty of trolling to be had on the Youtube page.
