She has been deaf since around the age of 12. She hears by feeling vibrations using other parts of her body, the 2 best being her feet and tummy. Also Hellen Keller was blind and deaf and she could talk as well as write, so cutemaniac1 your logic is flawed.
Evelyn actually not deaf, But if she really is deaf how could she talk without hear also how can she play music without hear, What a farce and she a joke
Evelyn Gleenie went deaf at the age of 12 - hence why she has an Aberdeenshire accent (Eastern Scotland). She has no "hearing" whatsoever and lip reads.
evelyn glennie is profoundly deaf, she "hears" nothing. She spoke to my special education class. It takes NOTHING away from her. And yes she is hot deaf or not.
i met her in buffalo ny at the BSO. She was really awesome and she interacts with you with problem it's like she not's deaf at all. she is the best precussionist i have ever seen ,deaf or not!
if thats what you think then fine. All i know, is i know completely deaf people who can talk - fine if you dont believe me. We'll just agree to disagree
@pepsico8 not true, have you never met a completely deaf person who can speak? i have. if they have heard one point in their life, they can speak. if they are deaf from birth, they cant speak
well, to be honest your ignorance is laughable. i know where i stand, so do many others and im not gonna waste my time speaking to you guys. This all started off because i find Evelyn truly inspirational and i think she has done a beautiful thing - showing that one has no boundaries. All of a sudden, people are arguing about whether she is genuinely deaf - all because she can speak. so i am stopping all this, i want no more part in this, cus to be honest its making me feel depressed
Shut up, you are being abusive - its only natural that i go right back at you, im not just gonna lay there and let you threat me like crap. And as for the deafness, maybe you should see the umpteen doctor's iv seen, the audiology department of my hospital and the surgeon thats gonna operate on my head so i can hear better - why dont you ask them if im deaf
I have to say, i am deaf myself - not as bad as Evelyn, but i play percussion too, a drum called a timba. She's so inspiring. I also have to say, i think some comments on here have been rather offensive - deaf people can indeed talk. If someone has been deaf from birth, then perhaps they cannot talk, but she clearly states she has not been deaf all her life
In Australia Being Deaf (notice the capital D) means you are unable to understand unsable speech sounds and you can communicate in a form of sign language (Auslan in Australia) . Being deaf (d) just means being completely unable to hear. Profoundly deaf people can still hear some sounds, but cannot use their HEARING to understand speech or most music. Shes not faking.
Podum 77 maybe you're right, I don't know. Maybe the term you use there is diferent that the term I use here. Here, the doctors say that I had a 'perda profunda', in portuguese. There, I always said that I had a 'profoundly lost', because 'profunda' means 'profoundly'. But in doctors' term, I can be wrong. But if you say that 'profoundly deaf' means to hear NOTHING, well, how can i judge it?
Podum77 - I'm profoundly deaf because I just hear in one ear 30 per cent. In the other ear, I can't hear anything. I hear perfectly when I'm using a hearing aid (I don't know what is the term there, so, please, correct me if it's wrong). I can hear. But just with a hearing aid.
How you can say that's pupose? Have you ever seen a deaf person? I do and I am. I'm brasilian, and I'm a deaf since I was 2 because of bacterian meningitis. I'm profundly deaf, and I speak and I hear perfectly. I'm deaf, and like Evelyn, I can do music without feel vibrations. Please, think when you say that, because you don't know everyone in the world. You can't say: "oh, she's deaf, so, she can't do music, it's impossible", because is not like it works, ok?
You are denying that she is totally deaf. Just because you cannot understand how something can be so, does not mean that it is not so. Evelyn Glennie is a Scot, as am I and I can tell from her accent that she is deaf. She was NOT born deaf but has been totally, profoundly deaf since the age of 12.
Slightly hearing loss....very little deafness. Like if you put a pair of earmuffs on your head...you only can hear muffled sound of voice that lacked a high pitch vibration. There are three others classes of deafness that goeas all the way to severly deaf means pretty much a mute with no sound and no voice at all.
oh yeah, what is the snare piece called she's playing in this?

she didn't lose her hearing until she was 12 or so. from what i have heard, that makes a big difference on how a person would speak.

Profoundly deaf means:
"S: (adj) profoundly deaf, stone-deaf, deaf as a post, unhearing (totally deaf; unable to hear anything) "
Evelyn has been profoundly deaf since she was 12.

You are denying that she is totally deaf. Just because you cannot understand how something can be so, does not mean that it is not so. Evelyn Glennie is a Scot, as am I and I can tell from her accent that she is deaf. She was NOT born deaf but has been totally, profoundly deaf since the age of 12.
