I'm deaf. Ask me questions if you want, I'm just bored

Could you tell me what do you think about this movie? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V732KBLzRfk

Why can't you sleep? Too much noise?

Can you hear in your dreams?

>>722294198
Born deaf or lost that shit later?

How cna we be reel if our ears arn't?

>>722294198
Apparently you can't read either you prick

Do you have a little voice in your head?like when you r reading or thinking? Or is there a little mime in your head which visualizes all the stuff?

>>722294231
I don't know what's going on, but by all means take it to sundance.
>>722294232
Yes, that is the reason. Good one.
>>722294263
I used to, but I've pretty much lost any concept of sound by now.
>>722294297
Lost it when I was 15.

>>722294384
I used to, like I said before, but that went away. Instead of reading the way most people do I just take in the words now, sortof like a picture.
>>722294424
I used to like Pink Floyd a lot, probably still would.

I think OP went to sleep.

>>722294198
How do you think ?

>>722294543
Oh, nevermind.

CAN YOU HEAR ME

>>722294534
Pink Floyd sucks. Probably made your ears bleed leading to that deafness. You should sue.

>>722294198
Do you know that farts make sounds, or are you like the guy who found out at the age of 24 when he was on a date?

>>722294534
How old are you now?

How did you lost it

>>722294424
>>722294534
I love that new one by Pink Floyd.

What is the most awkward deaf related moment in your life?

>>722294198
How do you know when you're done wiping your ass? (never mind, that was a blinde question)

What do you "hear"? Do you hear a ringing inside your head? Can you describe what it's like not hearing anything?

>>722294729
Why did you continue to post that anyways?

>>722294732
Not op, but I have tinnitus, and its shit. I heard deaf people can get it too. And that it makes them kill themselves. If all I could hear was that fucking ringing I'd do it too

>>722294818
What if a blindfag was posting and saw that?

Oh, wait

I took a shit, thought the thread would take longer to start up. I was wrong, sorry folks.
>>722294546
It's really tough to explain. It's just like a series of feelings and meanings attached to them. Imagine stuttering but knowing what you meant, and it's like that I guess. There's no words involved, but thoughts and ideas don't really need those to work, only to be conveyed to others.
>>722294558
Yeah, I liked Nirvana too. Badum tss
>>722294563
NO
>>722294584
I will take that into consideration.
>>722294605
I wasn't born deaf, so I knew.

>>722294610
I was in a car crash, and had serious brain damage. I was supposed to eventually get it back, but here we are.
>>722294665
I don't remember any specific moment, but I can't go to movie theaters anymore. Noises I make are almost completely involuntary, so more than once I got some weird looks during a sad/funny/scary scene. Also asking for CCs beforehand was depressing, so fuck that.
>>722294732
A ringing is pretty much right. Sometimes it gets 'louder', but that's mostly due to headaches and stuff like that.

>>722294991
Do you mean genre?

>>722295033
of music, you dummy.

>>722295059
used to be rock.

I'm a chef at a diner. Poorfag as fuck, but I make enough to smoke weed and play vidya, so it's all good.

>>722295329
Do you ever have auditory hallucinations when you're fried as fuck?

>>722295329
Do you feel like your other senses got better after losing hearing? Like sight

How did you deal with the loss at first?

Did or do you enjoy dancing even with no music?

Are you dating somebody that is deaf as well?

>>722295407
Not when I'm high, but one time I got blackout drunk and apparently I kept telling my friend I could hear my mom saying my name. Not sure if it's true or not, though, he's a storyteller.
>>722295446
I don't think so... I still have us humans' best sense, so I don't think I'm enough of a pity party for god to give me superpowers.
Being told it would come back was actually a really good way to keep the weight of what happened from fucking up my angsty teenage mind. By the time I found out it probably wouldn't ever return I was an adult. I had a dark patch a couple of years ago, but that was just the straw that broke the camels' back.
>>722295450
I like slow dancing with my lady because she likes it. I also like going to clubs because I can feel the beat, but I don't dance there.
>>722295558
No, my girlfriend can hear, but she knows sign as well.

Were you born deaf? If so what language are ops thoughts?

>>722295142

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_for_the_Deaf

Give this a try.

>>722294198
How the fuck can you read replies if you're deaf?

When you were in high school and lost your hearing did they put you in certain classes, not like tard classes. Also how long did it take you to learn sign language

>>722295758

>>722295655
Can you read lips?

>>722295758

>>722294198
How did this affect your friendships?
Did some of your mates learned sign language, or did most just bugger off?
Really cool for u to do a Q and A man i always wonder about stuff like this

I actually read for quite a bit longer than I should have before I realized it was a joke. Boo
>>722295758
Wow, you're right. I'm actually blind, I was goofing you all along.
>>722295773
Actually all my teachers were really cool about it. They hand wrote anything I couldn't pick up on my own so I didn't have to be taken out of a normal environment. It took me about 3 months to generally know what people were talking about, but I still learn new things now. Once you know the alphabet and 'Can you spell that?' the possibilities are endless.
>>722295787
I got really good at that when I was younger, but the ability faded away.
>>722295895
It depends on the picture, I guess.
>>722295921

>>722295928

>>722295962
Nowadays text messages are really cool. I became a super nerd in high school, though, because it was too inconvenient to try and hang out with friends. I didn't blame them, but it did suck major ass. No problem, dude.
>>722296028
I don't have speakers and my phone is constantly on silent so it doesn't disturb other people. That's a pretty kekworthy concept, though.

Since you don't have anymore "your own voice in head" while reading - is this still possible for you, if you force it?

>>722296286
I think if I focused on it since I went deaf, I could still have it, but it's just completely foreign to me now. I don't have the slightest recollection of sound, so I can't anymore.

Can you speak or it affected your voice or have you forgot how words sounds like?

>>722296028
>>722296223

You never watch movies or whatever with your gf and forget to turn the sound off later when it's fapping time? Thought that would be a real world problem and not just a throwaway scene in my screenplay that I think about writing sometimes when I'm drunk.

How in the world you can speak to us when you're deaf?

>>722294198
i knew some deaf people back in the day.

I always wondered, are you aware that you make weird noises when your signing and if so, do you feel self consious about it?

Also, how do you think? do you imagine text, signing or some sort of noisy representation of english? like, when i think, i imagine my voice talking, well i think, especially when typing, its definitly a voice, whats it like for you?

>>722296223
are you good at maths and shit like that?
I always get distracted with thoughts so I suck, would imagine you can concentrate really easily when you want to

>>722296361
I've forgotten what words sound like. I can still do a pretty good 'HEY' and my friends help me with words we find funny. Fuck, ass, fag, etc. They're generally curses. I know it's gay, but I'm trying to learn 'I love you' to be prepared for if I want to propose.
>>722296421
Do you jack off with your TV? I use my computer, which we don't watch movies on... I think it's a great scene, though. I'm sure it could absolutely happen to me given the right circumstances.
>>722296456
Magic, dude.
>>722296534
From what I'm told I'm pretty good about not doing it. I focus very heavily on my airflow most of the time because I'm a naturally self conscious guy.
I've answered the last question a few times here already, it's just not easy to explain. There's no voice, but there's ideas. I just have them in an order and understand what they mean, no words allowed. Sometimes when I get high I have to 'remind' myself of what I mean by thinking of the sign for it.
>>722296674
Thoughts are still there, but I've always been pretty good with numbers. I don't think the two have anything to do with eachother, though.

>>722296723
My tv is also hooked up to my computer, so yeah. Maybe I was projecting a bit. Still making it in to the screenplay though.

>>722296723
So you lost your hearing at 15, and as you've said sound is just completely foreign to you now.
Do you recall how long it took until this happened?

>>722294198
What does your voice sound like in your head
Like when you're thinking

>>722296881
this

Can you cook? A lot of cooking is by sound. If you can cook, how did you overcome this?

>>722296723

Sorry dude, i didnt read the rest of the thread tbh.
Thats cool man, thanks for answering that, I can kind of imagine what that might be like, it makes sense, its interesting, its so difficult to explain to someone how you think, even when i was trying to word my question to you it was hard.

>>722295009
>>722297003
I honestly didn't know that cooking was based around sound. If you use the correct times, it won't fuck up regardless of if you can hear it. But yes, I can cook pretty well. I work at a restaurant and cook at least one meal a day for my girlfriend and I.
>>722297081
No worries, man. You're right, though. Trying to convey something that relies entirely on perspective through words that were made to cater to one perspective is hard.
>>722297087
I hope you're right. kek

yeah man, so true, i have to say you come across pretty literate, I dont mean that as an insult at all, from my experience around deaf people, i noticed that they seemed to shorthand a lot when communicating, i presumed that signing is slow compared to talking, but their shorthanding transferred into their writing, sometimes it would seem so illiterate, but it made sense, almost like they were just using the most important words. I dunno though, they never really were on the internet much, where you have to make an effort or get shit fom strangers being a retard, so maybe they didnt care too much.

>>722294198

kek

>>722297646
I like to write, so I make a huge effort. I write articles for the local paper and I'm working on a novel, but I don't think it's anywhere near good enough. Being an author is pretty much the only childhood dream I can feasibly do. Not to mention, most of my relationships at least begin through texting or handwriting messages. When the only sounds you can make are 'OOGA BOOGA' you better be able to type pretty well or you're going to be a dry dick danny all your life.

>>722297671
kek'd internally, potentially externally as well. I'm not sure. Get it? I'm deaf.

What music do you listen to?

>>722297320 OP
Do you ever stand by big bass speakers or touch instruments and amps whilst people are playing? I understand the clubbing thing completely.

>>722297859
hahaha, good point, thats pretty cool about the writing though, why not eh

>>722297905
i see what you did there. See. get it?

You know, deafag, you inspired me to write a poem since its Valentine's day and all
>Roses are Red
>Violets are Blue
>at least thats what they tell me
>im fuckin blind

>>722298071
My girlfriend plays the drums for me sometimes while I sit/lay in front of them. It's extremely therapeutic. 10/10 would recommend.
>>722298107
Everybody's gotta have some sort of outlet, you know?
>>722298185
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I don't understand rhymes
Because I'm deaf you cunt

>>722298231
yeah I bet man, if I was deaf I'd still go to techno/dnb clubs I reckon you could still enjoy it from the sub bass alone

>>722298258
For sure. I've actually been thinking about getting some subs installed in my car and getting some low frequency bass cds to play.

>>722298185
It's valentines day? Shit.

>>722298355
I've got some super bassy techno you might like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XMPbJtTVoo&list=PLgmCpNNfTPvRy3lTDsNXdkmwC8PMTPEWb&index=15

>>722298452
Tomorrow (tuesday) is valentines day

>>722298515
I'll bookmark it, but it's 6 AM and turning it up loud enough for me to feel it would probably bode poorly for the future of my relationship with my girlfriend and neighbors.

>>722294534
How'd you lose your hearing?

Also,

Do you think in voice still, or have you started thinking in sign language/ideas like naturally deaf people?

>>722298618
Car accident caused brain damage which lead to me becoming deaf, and no. I think in ideas now and sometimes if I get confused I set myself straight with signs.

>>722298523
Oh killer. Thanks /b/ro

>>722298748
How much brain damage did ya get? Like did your IQ drop too? Or do you just think differently now?Not trolling.

>>722298748
Follow up question then.

Like reading... Do you still read like before or is that also converted?

>>722298751
No problem, man.
>>722298811
I don't think there was lasting damage to my actual intelligence, it was just the sensory parts that got messed up. I think my feeling has become worse too, but that's harder to gauge then hearing is. I know I felt numb a lot for the first few weeks.
>>722298829
I see words more as pictures. I understand them for what they mean, rather than understanding them for their sound and the sound for what it means. It makes reading a lot quicker actually, since I'm cutting out the middleman.

>>722294198
How much do you miss music?

Do you sometimes expect sounds, e.G. when a plate falls on the ground or a police car with sirens drives by?

>>722298987
What are onomatopoeia words like for you?

This is a great thread btw, thanks for coming out

Have you ever taken acid?
If yes, did it anything to your hearing experience?

>>722298987
How bad was the accident? Like were you in a coma or something? You mind describing what happened?

>>722299066
Not a lot anymore.
>>722299091
I definitely don't anymore, I don't think that I did when I was younger and new to it either. In fact I remember dropping a hammer on the ground to see if I would flinch and I didn't, but that was a solid 2-3 years in.
>>722299099
Context clues help a lot. Also most onomatopoeias can be translated to just 'a loud ass noise happened and since you're deaf now, it doesn't matter which one.' If they all changed, I wouldn't notice in the slightest.
>>722299119
Yes, and no it hasn't. It was a kickass time, though.
>>722299186
I was legally in a coma, but it was for 4 days, so I didn't come out to find out monkeys had taken over the earth and blah blah blah. It was just like a long sleep followed by a killer hangover that didn't go away for months.

What happened was my parents got in a fight, my dad was drunk, and he tried to take me away from her. I don't know if he was intentionally trying to kill us or if he was just not thinking straight and wanted to start a life with me, but without her, but he did crash and die and I have a hard time feeling bad for him.

He veered off a bridge that was about 10 feet off the ground, nothing out of an action movie, but we landed top down and that's a bad way to land.

>>722299492
You've had a crazy life anon

>>722299066
He listens to the sound of silence all the time

>>722299744
Just one fucked up thing, really. Nothing else especially bad has happened to me, really. I feel pretty lucky actually, I think I've used all my bad luck up at once so I can just skip happily through life from now on.

>>722299871
Godspeed

Do you make weird noises during sex? Has anyone complained?

>>722299959
My girlfriend says I just grunt like a normal dude, but I haven't really had a follow up conversation with someone I've fucked that didn't have any reason to be nice and lie to me, so I'm not 100% sure.
Speaking of which, though, I'm going to go jack off, have a smoke, and try to sleep again. Thanks for coming, everyone. Goodnight. Love, OP <3

>>722299871
God damn I hope you live in my neighborhood. I wanna see a deaf guy driving by bumping loud ass bass techno shit. Fuck the keks would explode

Hey dude, im sorry about your shitty dad and becoming deaf, but thanks so much for actually making a meaningful thread on /b/ I never even considered a lot of these things youre saying like not remembering what things sound like, even words. Im still trying to wrap my head around the way you think in terms of not hearing a voice and stuff. Super cool dude, hope you do get a good sleep soon. Thanks
