Understanding the Hearing Impaired (Helping #4)

[FvckHongkongPigs]

This clip is for normal people to understand the situation of those who have hearing loss. That's why there's no subtitles. Keep listening!

[michaelpousti]

great clip .. keep it up thanks

[Jessicamwins]

Are you kidding? The video focuses on the medicalization of deafness. What about the rich world of the Deaf community? And, your recommendations... What if the deaf person does not read lips? What if English is not the person's first language. Why raise your voice if the deaf person cannot hear you? Isn't communication a two way street? This video is yet another oversimplification by self-absorbed, audist hearing people. By the way, ASL is a language, not a set of gestures!

It is a shame that this is not captioned for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. It has good information in it, but I would never share this with a group I was working with because it does not allow some one with a hearing loss to participate in it.

Shame, shame, shame...

Dude not cool now you know how I feel i'm hearing inpaired!

[Lelsisla]

Eeh, I can't hear so well. . . An hearing impaired video and no text and a person speaking fast?

Crap!!!

[captionsunlimited]

Very well done vid. This segment of our population should be the easiest to help. It's sad but.

95 million Americans use captioning.

28 million Americans are hearing impaired.

30 million Americans are learning English as a second language.

27 million Americans are improving their literacy skills.

10 million Americans are school children learning to read.

I have 75 percent hearing loss what degree of hearing loss is this considered?

I was tested 4 times from audiologists

HIgh frequency and distortion loss

I do lip reading now and know some ASL

so what degree is this considered??

[campsarah]

the last three levels of hearing loss are moderate, profound, and severe. i'm considered profound and i have a 70 percent hearing loss.

[eastsackevster]

hearing impaired video, yet no closed captions avail, and she is talking super fast

brilliant

idiots...........

[CassetteMaster]

I wonder if a Neurophone would work good for a deaf person.

[JezzyR22]

Yeah I was wondering where the subtitles were myself...

[melikevideosya]

Isn't it ironic that a video about the hearing impaired, doesn't have subtitles?

[coopi1481]

@melikevideosya

loooooooooool, already thought that when i wanted to see for first time... . good comment.

[deafnativepride]

cochlear implant is sucker. do not take it.

" not worth it".

[HazardTsunami]

Wow... I suppose this video is for dealing with the "hearing impaired", not the Deaf community. This video is definitely not a comprehensive guide in understanding Deaf individuals.

[KimAndSophie]

I agree. I lived with a group of deaf girls. Barely any of these "tips" would help at all. Also there are dorrbells, and fire alarms, and even alarm clocks that flash lights or vibrate. Saying that they "can't" use these is not right at all!

[Yoshiko11]

I am deaf-blind and i have a pager system i ware that vibrates to let me know if the phone rings, the door bells is used or a fire alarm goes off. I also use a shake-awake clock that i can feel that lets me know to get up on time. Saying that you "can't" is definatley not right. There are always ways to do things with modifications or changes.
