It was reported on a Deaf dating site named Deafornot dot c om that 500,000 Deaf individuals in the United States claim American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary language.
ilove this video, i really hate it when hearing people consider deaf people as stupid, this is why i always have to prove myself in school...im a straight A+ student in Ap classes and i have the 9th rank in my class out of 1500 students...i go to public school and have normal classes and etc,i am also very involved with deaf culture and plan on goin to college at Princeton, i am already recommended for it,I just wanted to prove the dumb asses out there wrong about deaf people.
This video is so DAMN AWESOME!!!!! Powerful, Just... AMAZING!!! Her signing, and dancing is AWESOME!!!! I love this, i now want to show this video to my ASL class at college.
to be honest i think most of the people who say they're deaf aren't only because i have A LOT of deaf friends and they're grammar isn't that good when writing or typing. So yeah... Just saying. Nothing vegetative just pointing out my observation.
@aznkid435 a vast majority of the deaf community can communicate very effectively. my aunt taught at several deaf universities and she claims that their writing and grammar skills are superior to that of most of the hearing students she's taught. grammar mostly involves sentence composition, words and phrases; all of which can be taught effectively without the ability to hear. you don't have to hear the word "cat" in order to properly understand or use it in a sentence.
@yulyu Yeah I know that but I was talking about how they use conjunctions (i think that's what they're called) like the word the or of (etc.)
for example I was having a conversation with my deaf friend about his teeth cause i thought he bought fake fangs and he said " Thoses teeth is my real teeth!! Haha wow"
so instead of "are" he wrote "is" just simple things like that.
@aznkid435 oh ok i understand what you mean. i have to say though, none of my deaf friends have ever improperly used a conjunction lol. in my experience, a lot of hearing students in use conjunctions incorrectly. ex: ' what you doing', "how you is?' etc... but I know that's a societal thing. what with slang speak and all.
@aznkid435 I think what you need to remember is that Deaf people's first language is not English. Many Deaf people write in English very well, but some make errors when using conjunctions, articles and other grammatical features that are common in the English language but are not part of American Sign Language Grammar. Speakers of other languages often make the same errors when writing in English, grammar for ASL is very similar to Russian Grammar - there are no articles in Russian either.
@sharoncleans I know, that why in my first comment I stated that I don't think most people that say they are deaf on the comments are actually deaf because they have really good grammar. So if they were actually deaf the grammar would be a little off, but it isn't.
@purplewowies I know that it's possible, but it's usually harder for deaf people to have correct grammar because sign language is a whole different language. They have completely different dialects and grammar. For example if you taught someone, who speaks a different language, English they would have a hard time with grammar, dialect and pronunciation. Like my family we moved from japan and both my parents have a hard time speaking and writing English. The same rule would apply for deaf people

I am half deaf, complete hearing loss in my right ear. Yet, when I use an Ipod or other mp player, I always stick one in my right ear.... the one I can't hear out of, but yet I still hear the music, and I also leave the headphones out of my left earso I can hear other people talking to me. So yes, I believe people that are fully deaf CAN hear music....
Please, nobody take this the wrong way but what do you hear when listening to an iPod and deaf. I know you feel the vibrations but do you feel just the bass or do you get the whole affect of the music? Also is it possible to know what genres of music you like, can you tell the vibrations that well? Could you tell, say, a love song from a rock song? Please no one take offence I'm just interested, please clear this up somebody.
@sumintookish To answer your question extensively would be difficult on my part because I'm hearing, but if you put noise cancelling headphones on, and a sub vibrating, could you tell by the beat if its hip hop or a metal band hittting the double bass pedal? I know I can because Hip Hop (for the most part) has a dancing beat while double bass hits frequently and hard.
@sumintookish Heavy metal is my favorite,keep in mind I'm not compleatly deaf ^_^, just hard of hearing. But have you ever been to a rock concert? I've only been ONCE, and I could totally feel the difference in the floor vibrations between the two different bands. (A mild rock and then Heavy metal) Yeah, I could still hear the music, but the feel of it was more awesome then the sound. Sound is just vibration after all. Try turning on your stereo, plug you ears and FEEL a while.Its AWESOME XD
lol I love this commercial cuz wen I sign upbeat songs I'm jus like tht.!!!!! :D
n try not to be offensive to the Deaf. I mean honestly;; they can use the same iPod, headphones, and everything. "Deaf people can do anything a hearing person can except hear" and most don't want to anyway. it's not a disability..it's their lifestyle and culture..try not to throw salt on it.. jusst saying :)
Hi! I'm doing a documentary about Deaf culture for my Grade 12 English project, and I was wondering if I could use this clip in my documentary? Thanks!
lol cool! im doing a biography on helen keller so i learned the amarican sign language alphabet and came across this :P hope u do well 4 ur project :)
woah...excuse me...i'm deaf...and i can feel music and dance to it very well...deaf people are better dancers than hearing ppl...because they CAN Dance by feel of the beat even if they cant hear the words..wow it shows how ignorant some of you ppl are......im offended
my mother is deaf and she loves to listen to music, music plays apart in everyones lives whether they are deaf or not,dont be offended some people are just ignorant of that fact
@Zalyna8 dude thts sick ur deaf? awesome dude no lie ppl might've thought way before a person who is deaf could have like one of the worst and most torturing conditions. im sure its hard and real annoying but seeing a deaf dude rock out would not make my day but id probly realize how lucky i am forever
:/ hmm I doubt that hearing the words really affects the dancer's ability to dance to the beat. I'm pretty sure that being deaf is only a handicap in this sense, seeing that the deaf person is unable to hear the music, and therefore they have no sense of the type of music that is playing and strictly are dancing to patterns of vibrations. and what happens when the bass and treble are turned down? :O but all this to say that being deaf doesn't necessarily make you a better dancer.
@Zalyna8 i am srry for these rude people and u are right deaf people are better dancers because they can feel the vibrations and beats, i hate how people asume just because u have a disability doesnt mean you cant do the same stuff they do.
@TacosRyouFriends Ehhh being deaf isn't really a 'disability.' It may be considered a handicap - but only if in a room with only hearing people.. but then again, if a hearing person was in a room with only deaf people, THEY would be considered handicapped! I'm not deaf; my boyfriends parents are both deaf, though.. I volunteer at camps with deaf children and such.. and well, they get very offended when others call them 'disabled.' (I'm not attacking you about it, just pointing this out)
@Zalyna8 Welcome to YouTube, the biggest mass of uneducated incompetents you're ever gonna find.
(unrelated) If I was deaf I'd have the biggest damn subs you could buy, aimed straight into the floor. My deaf neighbors wouldn't even be able to sleep!
@Zalyna8 I think it's wrong to say "deaf people are better dancers than hearing people." Your ability to hear does not effect your ability to dance, as long as you can follow the beat. I had thought before deaf people could feel the bass of music, but I never knew it was strong enough to keep a rhythm and dance to it! That's cool to hear :)
@aznkid435 Ok, dont you think someone who says there are deaf would know if they were or were not?! How can you dare question someone on that..seriously, rudeness. Sure there is a big difference, and quite frankly its none of your business..i mean if someone is HOH im sure they would say that, if they said deaf instead, how do you feel asking them if what theyre saying is correct?
@lanab06 Cause I looked up her youtube page and myspace page that's link to it (I do my research before I criticize) and on it she said she was hard of hearing.
@Zalyna8 don't worry bout any of it, without being exposed or experiencing deafness lots of people don't understand it. Personally i don't understand alot of a deaf person's life because i havn't been around them much. At schol they're doing an ASL club though and i'm so excited to learn. That's all it is, a need to learn.
My deaf friend has an ipod and she can feel the beat in her ears. She can say in sync every word to almost every song on the radio. Deaf people CAN "listen" to music
Educate yourself on deaf people! They can do everything but hear. My parents loveee music, especially my dad. He actually plays guitar himself. Signing songs gives the lyrics a whole new meaning as well. I love deaf culture :]
You fucking idiot...if you bothered to read responses this video you'd realize that deaf people use iPods. I am so sick of people like you posting messages based on ignorance. THINK BEFORE YOU POST!
@wackmestudios that is a very ignorant response. I have an older brother and mother and2 sister in laws that are deaf and they love music. Its not always what you hear its what you can FEEL as well!!!
my mom and dad are deaf from birth and i know sign language very well because of them and my dad bought me an ipod recently and i showed my mom what the itouch has and now she wants one too. deaf people can have ipods if you dont like what i say suck it bitches
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
actually deaf pple don't use ipods bc the sound isn't quite loud enough for them to feel the vibration's but you make a good point bc they can dance on beat by using vibrations and pple who use hearing aids can buy special headphones that attach to the hearing aids so they can listen to the ipods : D kool video
If one more person makes this stupid remark I'm gonna shoot myself. If you bothered to read comments made here, you'd see how many deaf people have said they use iPods - they can feel vibrations.
hi that's cool, I honestly didn't want to offend people; its amazing when you find out how little people outside of a cuture you are immersed in know about it, I find myself getting defensive about stuff all the time that is like second nature or common sense to me, but (and I am surprised by this every time) not everyone thinks in the same way I do because we are all experiencing the world in these myriad different ways!
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, thanks for the insight!
I don't want to sound ignorant but I might be about to... I understand music is rhythmic, but this doesn't come through earphones does it? So why is an ipod ad relevant to the deaf?
ALL VIBRATIONS will come through earphones. Deaf people (at least some) can feel it.
Even if that weren't the case, there are Deaf people who have, use, and like iPods, and like this video.
Even if THAT weren't the case, and all Deaf people depised the iPod (and this ad) like it was the spawn of Satan, Deaf people aren't the only people who use ASL. There are people with disabilities, interpreters, and even the random hearing person learning ASL that like this video. I'm one such person.
Well, I'm deaf... I have an iPod! I have videos mostly, but I had subtitles added to them so I can SEE what's being said... Though I also have a hard time reading such small font... But it's great! :)
AND... I can feel the vibrations of the beats and that's really cool! ... I like iPods!
woah for the little earbuds you must have it up pretty loud to feel vibrations?? do you have to worry about that though, i mean does it do any damage even if you are deaf?
Aweh. There is a deaf kid at my school and he's picked on alot, i try to help him out sometimes, but he's in a grade 3 years higher. I always feel bad for him because the only one that knows sign language is his helper.
Not at all ignorant...and ignore purplewowies defensiveness...I find that hearing people like to get indignant "on behalf" of deafness...it gives them an identity, makes them feel special.
Along with video, many deaf people have residual hearing to different degrees (hearing is not an either/or proposition - it is a spectrum).
iPod even has a cool adapter that works with hearing aids. I've seen many a deaf person rock out to their iPod s :-) Good question!
I wasn't trying to be defensive, and I truly didn't originally think I came across that way. I think the comment I removed was a little more defensive than the one I left posted.
It seems I always try to defend ASL videos (at least the ones I like). I was just trying to say that deaf people DO use iPods, and this commercial isn't exactly only for deaf people and that other people use ASL. I'm sorry if it came across as defensive.
whoa excuse me!!!??? u dont fucking know how much deaf people LOVE music! i do own a iPod in fact...all they need is the headphones so they can feel the bass...
Ipods arent even only for music AS most everyone knows. There is lots of literature out for deaf in ASL that they can upload to their music and watch.
I just saw this commercial and i love it. 2 of my closest friends are deaf. I am teaching myself ASL with the help of books and videos. ASL is awesome and u know what? Deaf people are just as normal as us! My 2 deaf friends are the best guys to take out to a club when i wanna dance the night away. There is a huge deaf and HOH community in this world and we need to respect them and treat them as equal coz they infact are the same as us. Its almost the same as if I died my hair platinum blond.
awe that sucks they really should put this out because i think it would make people happy like the deaf arent always ignored its a brilliant commenrcial
i am very good friends with a Deaf girl, she has special attachments to her hearing aids that enable her to listen to her iPod, its actually very cool
Would you PLEASE read other posts to this video!? If you did, you'd realize deaf people own iPods. We get asked this question all the time - a lot of deaf people have responded to this video. My wife (in the video) is a nationally certified ASL interpreter and would know that deaf folks use and own iPods. They can feel rhythms and bass frequencies. The deaf community also includes "hard of hearing" - there are degrees of deafness.
i also agree. I am an advanced student in ASL and i find that i like ASL much better than english as most of the time will prefer signing over speaking :]

@Zalyna8 dude thts sick ur deaf? awesome dude no lie ppl might've thought way before a person who is deaf could have like one of the worst and most torturing conditions. im sure its hard and real annoying but seeing a deaf dude rock out would not make my day but id probly realize how lucky i am forever

@Zalyna8
:/ hmm I doubt that hearing the words really affects the dancer's ability to dance to the beat. I'm pretty sure that being deaf is only a handicap in this sense, seeing that the deaf person is unable to hear the music, and therefore they have no sense of the type of music that is playing and strictly are dancing to patterns of vibrations. and what happens when the bass and treble are turned down? :O but all this to say that being deaf doesn't necessarily make you a better dancer.

@Zalyna8 i am srry for these rude people and u are right deaf people are better dancers because they can feel the vibrations and beats, i hate how people asume just because u have a disability doesnt mean you cant do the same stuff they do.
TacosRyouFriends 1 year ago
@TacosRyouFriends Ehhh being deaf isn't really a 'disability.' It may be considered a handicap - but only if in a room with only hearing people.. but then again, if a hearing person was in a room with only deaf people, THEY would be considered handicapped! I'm not deaf; my boyfriends parents are both deaf, though.. I volunteer at camps with deaf children and such.. and well, they get very offended when others call them 'disabled.' (I'm not attacking you about it, just pointing this out)

@Zalyna8 Welcome to YouTube, the biggest mass of uneducated incompetents you're ever gonna find.
(unrelated) If I was deaf I'd have the biggest damn subs you could buy, aimed straight into the floor. My deaf neighbors wouldn't even be able to sleep!
Asdam12 1 year ago
@Zalyna8 I think it's wrong to say "deaf people are better dancers than hearing people." Your ability to hear does not effect your ability to dance, as long as you can follow the beat. I had thought before deaf people could feel the bass of music, but I never knew it was strong enough to keep a rhythm and dance to it! That's cool to hear :)

@aznkid435 Ok, dont you think someone who says there are deaf would know if they were or were not?! How can you dare question someone on that..seriously, rudeness. Sure there is a big difference, and quite frankly its none of your business..i mean if someone is HOH im sure they would say that, if they said deaf instead, how do you feel asking them if what theyre saying is correct?

@Zalyna8 don't worry bout any of it, without being exposed or experiencing deafness lots of people don't understand it. Personally i don't understand alot of a deaf person's life because i havn't been around them much. At schol they're doing an ASL club though and i'm so excited to learn. That's all it is, a need to learn.

Educate yourself on deaf people! They can do everything but hear. My parents loveee music, especially my dad. He actually plays guitar himself. Signing songs gives the lyrics a whole new meaning as well. I love deaf culture :]

actually deaf pple don't use ipods bc the sound isn't quite loud enough for them to feel the vibration's but you make a good point bc they can dance on beat by using vibrations and pple who use hearing aids can buy special headphones that attach to the hearing aids so they can listen to the ipods : D kool video

hi that's cool, I honestly didn't want to offend people; its amazing when you find out how little people outside of a cuture you are immersed in know about it, I find myself getting defensive about stuff all the time that is like second nature or common sense to me, but (and I am surprised by this every time) not everyone thinks in the same way I do because we are all experiencing the world in these myriad different ways!
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, thanks for the insight!
fluffypinkblonde 2 years ago 2
I don't want to sound ignorant but I might be about to... I understand music is rhythmic, but this doesn't come through earphones does it? So why is an ipod ad relevant to the deaf?
fluffypinkblonde 2 years ago 2
ALL VIBRATIONS will come through earphones. Deaf people (at least some) can feel it.
Even if that weren't the case, there are Deaf people who have, use, and like iPods, and like this video.
Even if THAT weren't the case, and all Deaf people depised the iPod (and this ad) like it was the spawn of Satan, Deaf people aren't the only people who use ASL. There are people with disabilities, interpreters, and even the random hearing person learning ASL that like this video. I'm one such person.

Not at all ignorant...and ignore purplewowies defensiveness...I find that hearing people like to get indignant "on behalf" of deafness...it gives them an identity, makes them feel special.
Along with video, many deaf people have residual hearing to different degrees (hearing is not an either/or proposition - it is a spectrum).
iPod even has a cool adapter that works with hearing aids. I've seen many a deaf person rock out to their iPod s :-) Good question!
RachelQZ 2 years ago
I wasn't trying to be defensive, and I truly didn't originally think I came across that way. I think the comment I removed was a little more defensive than the one I left posted.
It seems I always try to defend ASL videos (at least the ones I like). I was just trying to say that deaf people DO use iPods, and this commercial isn't exactly only for deaf people and that other people use ASL. I'm sorry if it came across as defensive.

I just saw this commercial and i love it. 2 of my closest friends are deaf. I am teaching myself ASL with the help of books and videos. ASL is awesome and u know what? Deaf people are just as normal as us! My 2 deaf friends are the best guys to take out to a club when i wanna dance the night away. There is a huge deaf and HOH community in this world and we need to respect them and treat them as equal coz they infact are the same as us. Its almost the same as if I died my hair platinum blond.

Would you PLEASE read other posts to this video!? If you did, you'd realize deaf people own iPods. We get asked this question all the time - a lot of deaf people have responded to this video. My wife (in the video) is a nationally certified ASL interpreter and would know that deaf folks use and own iPods. They can feel rhythms and bass frequencies. The deaf community also includes "hard of hearing" - there are degrees of deafness.
