My Son Is Deaf, Finally! (Subtitled)

My Son Is Deaf, Finally!

Four years later after a hearing son of deaf parents was born, the time was right. His parents felt ready to explore the option and made the decision to go ahead with surgery for him in Brazil. Last week, he had his hearing inactivated indefinitely by removing both cochleae from the ears. He became profoundly deaf like his parents. They have been immensely blessed with the choice they made.

God damn guys wait till the video is over to make your comments. I swear that half of these stupid ass comments wouldn't have been posted if you had the patience to watch the whole thing.

Once you reach a certain age, language specific neurons in the brain deteriorate and auditory processing is merely impossible. The lack of experience with articulatory cues and prosody makes processing language difficult and stressful.

THIS. IS. PERFECT.

[caitlinsigns]

This is brilliant.

Goodness, you really had me disturbed and going. I really got pretty emotionally mad at you for that. But now, i am ok and i see your point. Thank you for sharing that.

[TheMeghan1228]

I knew it was fake the whole time. Great lesson. I'm saying that as a hearing person. You all need to stop freaking out. His point is it hurts some deaf people when hearing families force their children to hear without their consent. No need to get your knickers in a twist.

[LuvsToLaughGirl]

@LagunaZurfer It's not a prank you vulgar idiot, it was a clever way to show the opposite end of deaf children forced into hearing.
