  • 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!

  • great clip .. keep it up thanks

  • 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!

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

  • 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!

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

    Crap!!!

  • 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.
