THANK YOU for being a wonderful advocate and bring awareness to the deaf community. Having a deaf son and seeing him experience these same issues you talk about, shows how common they can be. My biggest pet peeve, is when I have to tell people he is not ignoring them, that he is deaf, and then getting the "I'm so sorry"...sorry about what?? My son is perfect in my eyes and his deafness just adds to his uniqueness. Being deaf does not mean you are broken! Will continue to look forward to more videos from you!
While working at Walmart people would get mad at me all the time for "ignoring" them as they talked to my back. The kicker. ...I had HUGE signs saying I was deaf....but they never bothered to read them and complained about me to management!
Maybe they were saying sorry to you for not realizing that he was deaf, and not sorry that he Is deaf?
bruh when someone tells me they're deaf and I say i'm sorry I'm saying it because I didn't notice not because I think they're 'broken'
Hi Justin! I am a CODA and it always amazes people when I tell that that I sign. The response is always the same: I wish I could sign so I can communicate with deaf people. My response is always the same: learn to sign that is the best but a pencil and paper works just as well in the mean time. Happy New Year!
I understand and I dont know why hearing people have to make it so difficult.... and frustrating for us ... recent problem I had at the store I told the person I couldn't hear and they continued to talk ..... and could tell they were yelling but no clue what was said ... could of been telling me the build was on fire and I got nothing
Right!
Thank you for bringing awareness about this. People need to understand that communication with us deaf and HOH doesn’t have to be hard. It can be so simple! I’m a huge fan of yours and I’m so excited for more to come! 🥰🥰🤟🏼🤟🏼
It seems weird to me that awareness needs to be made. I feel like it should be common sense that if you need to communicate with someone who can't hear to write it down or type it out.
I can't believe there are so many people on this planet with no common sense, either that or they are just jerks.
Happy new year! I experienced meeting a Deaf person for the first time in June and I was so excited because I wanted to learn what I could do to be a better human and advocate for the community as a hearing person. I’ve always been interested in learning ASL but never had a chance or opportunity. He and I met at a gym and we communicated via my notepad app on my phone and it was awesome. He taught me some basic signs and he said he appreciated me trying to sign the alphabet and spell things to him and for being willing to type back and forth with him. It blew my mind to learn there are people that are not willing to write or type to communicate. Like why??? It’s easy and helpful and inclusive to everyone! I had no idea how many obstacles the Deaf community faces daily until he and I spoke in depth and he provided some resources for me to look into to learn more. I am grateful for your IG page and this UA-cam channel so I can continue to learn!
THANK YOU!
I love your channel, and I understand the frustration. I'm am deaf in only one ear, and I love your videos. You helped me understand how others deal with a hearing disability. Thank you so SO much 💘
Great PSA Justin and bringing awareness for the HOH and Deaf communities
Man, i love interacting with deaf people. Before the pandemic, there was a 6 foot tall guy that would come through my store for instacart orders that he was running, and I was able to understand when he was getting frustrated and he'd point to things i should do and shouldn't do when bagging/scanning while also pointing to himself sometimes to help me understand. He pointed to his ears the first time i met him so to me, i felt like he was either saying he was deaf or had hearing problems. He'd sometimes react to loud noises or vibrations but he was always nice. After interacting with him for so long, I was able to figure out how to sign "Thank you", but unfortunately not the "you're welcome" part.
Thank you for this! It is a good story of how to communicate with deaf and hard of hearing!
I like your style, man! Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm going to share this on FB!
I can’t imagine how hard it is for every person like you. I really appreciate your attempt of bringing awareness. Seeing your recent videos, I think you have got a hearing implant now? Just hoping you can hear well now. Really really love your content, it’s super funny. And you’re so adorable 😊
It is really disappointing when I hear stories about this, I took the time to learn to sign because we had the most cutest deaf couple ever come into our gas station. I really wanted to talk with them and when I learnt my first sign asking how they were they were over the moon and that made me so happy. They opened a whole new world to me. Thank you for sharing your experience and I am so sorry that has happened to you.
Thank You for sharing your experience. My brother is hard of hearing and you do a great job of explaining situations and feelings. Can’t wait for more videos. Keep up the great work. Happy New Year
Thank you for the closed captions, I can't understand deaf people because I don't know A.S.L. and my mother language Is spanish. But now I can understand you, I hope more deaf youtubers add subtitles, are very helpful 👏👍
Oh dear ..perfect Sharing it for everyone who needs to know what to do with deaf people in future 😅 🎉 ❤
I used to work at home depot I fully cooperated with deaf people and I wrote down on paper and communicated with them because its the right thing to do
Thank you for this video to show people what it's like for the Deaf and HOH everyday. I pray your message is shared and acted on -- looking forward to more videos!
I’m not sure why but I love the way you talk it’s like I don’t even know how to say it maybe like……..I want to say inspiring like you overcame a challenge that other people might not ever face so amazingly you are proficient in speaking and understanding. I’m writing these things outta compassion if I said anything to offend anyone I am sorry
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻 Thank you so very much!!!
My Deaf wife had the same problem as the Deaf guy in the video. Blessings.
Congratulations on starting your YT channel! I am a CODA and really enjoy your TikToks. Hilarious! Thank you for sharing this. I’m going to share this with my hearing friends to help them understand better.
Thanks for bringing this awareness to many people it really does help the hearing people like me understand. I know some people make thing's harder for communication but it's great to know that there are people trying to help.
Anyway this video was great can't wait for the next! 😊
Can you make video and explains about adding captioning is not that hard to do. Is that true? Because I had some argument with several hearing people think it’s time consuming and all. I feel it’s lazy for them to do and not put effort to add captioning. They kept saying it’s expensive to hire them. I said do it yourself. You’ll draw more audience this way. I’m curious your thoughts and inputs on this.
I would like to know about it too.
On my TikToks i hand type out my closed captions ... It doesn't take me very long - a 1 min video might take me another 2 or 3 min to cc . I do wish Android's offered an auto cc feature like IPhones do but it's still not incredibly hard even adding them manually . i don't make UA-cam videos but if i did it wouldn't bother me to manually add closed caption them either .
For UA-cam it is easy it says CCon top of the video push it turns white and there is the caption.

Thank you for this PSA! Your messages and videos on IG and tik really uplift me and opened my eyes to a whole new world. It’s a goal of mine now to learn ASL and to become an advocate & ally as much as i can for the deaf and HOH community 🤗
I have a friend who is very hard of hearing and lip reads...the masks were very difficult for her as well.
People in the service industry to need training. Thanks for the video.
Omg. My friend just shared your burrito video on Facebook and a came straight to your channel, and this video.
You are the first person I have seen who is talking about these struggles. I only had a few encounters with deaf people during the mask days. My response was to step back and remove my mask. Never had to write and read but I would have if it was needed.
I have now binge watched all your videos. Your content is fantastic. The whole world needs to experience your message. You are funny and your stories teach valuable lessons. I can’t wait to see more.
And now I have discovered tik tok.
So much good.
Thank you for making this video to raise awareness, it must be so frustrating at times. My dad was very hard of hearing and he would get so frustrated, too. We ended up having to write out whatever we needed to say as well.
Shared this to most of my friend's and families and they finally! understood why it's hard being deaf.
As someone who is not HOH at all, I really appreciate videos like this. I always want to be sure I am doing the right things when it comes to people who have different life experiences than me. Thank you!! ❤️
Hi just let you know I'm deaf to but little good hearing i watch your video on tiktok and Patrick and big ben you guys make me happy.
I learned so much from this video! Thanks man!
I'm not trying to make excuses for that guy, and I'm sorry, what happened to you really, but I had a good friend who has long passed now and was a good mechanic. I was one of his few friends who knew he could not read or write because he was embarrassed. It's more common than you think.
Hi, may I ask what age you got the hearing device?
Bro, you’re so awesome! I know I am 2 years late but I think you are so funny and inspirational!
Love your video. I could not have explained it better.
Great guy keep it up your a true imprisioning
Very nice video there... people should have an idea on this but they seam to be really stubborn and must be lacking something. My Aunt Retired from school for the deaf and it was know that there was other ways to communicate.... I known other people who had children who didn't hear so glad you are posting about this 👍☺️
Had a similar type of incident a few years back. My wife tried calling to make an appointment for an oil change. The car place repeatedly refused to accept a phone call through the relay system. I was away at training during that time. When she told me what was happening, I called them up (had enough hearing at that point that I could still hear on the phone) and explained what the relay system was, and that they were denying service to a Deaf person. They kept trying to get ME to make the appointment. I refused, and told them that she would call one more time, please do it right this time. To their credit, they did, and apologized to her when she came in with the car.
I'm hard-of-hearing, and I do read lip. During the COVID-19, because people have to wear mask I have a hard time to read lips. Thankfully I have my parents to interpret what other people saying. Not everyone is willing to do handwriting note, cause they think it's dumb or waste of their time.
somedeafguy, and also can speak on the phone translator to text content to deaf people will reading it is so easy way too. Sometimes error appropriation of different words.
I wear a button when I go to stores that says "Hard of hearing, please keep mask on and speak up." Sometimes it helps, sometimes people still pull down their mask. I rarely go out anymore.. its just too difficult. Isolation and depression is tough. Thank you for sharing your experience. Even people who never realized they had a hearing issue before, now realize they do with lips covered.
Yep! Been there and done that! I always type in Notes on my iPhone ahead of time when I need to communicate with someone at the store, UPS, etc.... my first line says "Howdy, I'm Deaf....." Most are willing to sign. Others expect me to lipread which frustrates me.... but I feel ya! By the way, how did you add your CC to your video? Keep up the amazing work you do!
Keep it al up you are a wonderful human
Watching your videos wants me to learn more ASL than what I know so I can communicate better
I enjoyed playing hillbilly golf with you friday night at Nikki's
your message is amazing
What you've experienced is very similar to what I've had to deal with almost everyday working in customer service. I don't understand why people get so upset or make it so difficult to do basic communication. I understand if there's a language barrier, but why go out of your way to make it impossible? I've met some very kind and understanding people, some even try to learn basic signs like "thank you" and ASL abc's. Others make you feel ashamed and angry that just because you can't hear means they exclude you. I'm sorry you've had your fair share of just rude people. I hope more people can learn to treat others better.
Thanks for sharing
In 2021, where nearly everyone has a cell phone with a notepad app- I have no idea why this is such a difficult thing to do.
We're all always on our phones anyway... Type it out!! Ughfff...
I can't apologize for all hearing folk. But I wish I could. We really need to do better.
YES! My fiancée is deaf and he reads lips. The pandemic was extremely difficult for him to communicate and even lost a couple jobs because people did not want to take the time to communicate. He has a cochlear implant and the processor broke and only knows a bit of Sign. It was a mixed bag of people that would be willing to take the time to communicate. But there are some EXTREMELY rude and down right prejudice people out there that just flat out refused to meet him halfway, including some of his coworkers and upper management. It has caused him anxiety his whole life to deal with the public and way people "pull fast-ones" on him "because he is deaf." You just don't see it until you take a walk in another person's shoes.
Hi

FYI: Hearing people also have a third option to use a tool. If they really cannot write at all for some reason, they can use their phone to use the dictation. From voice to text. Even there is an app that can translate from a foreign language to English as well. They just need to be educated / trained properly. Today is 2021. We aren't in 1900s. :-P
People also need to know that the Deaf use facial expressions and SHOW their feelings. I can't tell you the amount of times People say I look angry when I say no or overreact to things.. but I am in and out of the Deaf and hearing community's I have learned from YEARS OF signing to show my feeling and expressions. Or I get criticism for being to blunt. Another Deaf community thing as we are very descriptive.
I deaf and I do get difficult to listening what people saying behind the mask and I ask people if they allow to put mask down so I understand better and know what they saying and also I playing gaming but my other 4 friend are deaf and we ft each other during the gaming so we understand each other and using lipsread
And also I do yt channel and also with my friend, that I trying to make people happy and enjoy my video
