Let’s take a moment to appreciate how they look at all the comments
Jade Gallt thank you for noticing ☺️ we love sign fam!
@@SignDuoChannel I luv you guys! We all do! And we appreciate that u look at the comments
@@SignDuoChannel does Ryan remember what music sounds like
@@SignDuoChannel hi if you guys don't mind could you post a video of him talking I'm curious to hear what he sounds like but if not I can understand but love you guys more and more every day
@@ashuhle1013 no he can't hear music I don't think
Can we just take a moment to appreciate what a good looking couple they are? and the puppy too!
Thank you! 😊
@@SignDuoChannel Match made in heaven!
Honestly, Java made me subscribe, haha! Not saying I don't love you too, Sign Duo, but I'm a fan of Pit Bulls and have been a dog trainer for 1/3 of my life. 😆
When I watched this vid I had the same idea. They are a beautiful loving triangle (he peace, she harmony, it loyalty)
Finally someone who acknowledges them both at the same time
I liked the way he snuck in 2 kisses when she was trying to hear his heartbeat.
yea gotta take the chances! 😁
Does Ryan ever “talk” to himself like hearing people do? Does he ever sign to himself when he’s by himself?
I mean, I imagine he can like "hear" his thoughts, but idk
Jakeee ya I mean sometimes I just talk to myself in my mind
This is a great question! As a psych grad, I’m interested in his perspective of thoughts rather than the biological explanation of it
That'd be a cute trait. hehe.
Also it would be interesting to know if he thinks in written spoken English or in his version of Sign Language.
I've always wanted to ask a Deafie that question!
It’s cool that they find ways to communicate not just with sign language
haha thats true 😄
I use sign language too because I am deaf myself
@@SignDuoChannel Do you wear hearing aids?
I was wondering for deaf people how do they contact the emergency services eg police or someone for help if they were by themselves or something happened to a hearing person they where with which makes them unable to call for help?
@@shanemannion7929 for a deaf person they can still call the police but when the police come to the house or where ever u live they will ask u if u need a interpreter or if u understand them
omg 4:01 melted my heart when he kissed her on the cheek! He's so sweet!
i couldn't resist the opportunity 😄
Lol
Mine too. I love watching them interact they are so so sweet and considerate of each other.
They are adorable ❤️
@@SignDuoChannel your such a good a man. I love y'all so much without y'all my family probably wouldn't be able to speak to me. Y'all have seriously taught them so much sign it's unreal
I am a professional harpist and wanted to share a story with you. I was playing a wedding reception and a little girl came up and was VERY interested in the harp. I stopped to ask if she would like to come closer and see it, she just looked at me. Her brother told me that she was completely deaf and could not understand what I was saying or doing. Using ASL, I asked the little girl to place her hands on the soundboard of the harp and then I played a grand glissando so she could "feel" the music. Her reaction was amazing and she was VERY excited. I also let her place her hands on the strings as I played. On the harp, some strings vibrate even when you do not pluck them. From then on, the wedding reception was about me and this little girl. Precious.
A funny moment:
My sister didn’t get her cochlears until she was 5 years old. Until then she didn’t know that when you flush the toilet it made a loud noise. So we were at a restaurant and she had to go potty so for the first time she flushed the toilet and it startled her so bad! She had no idea the toilet made noise when you flush.
haha that's funny!
little bit like the story I heard of one girl being blind wasn't aware that when she was in the car people could see into her car when travelling, something she had not thought of before as she could not ( obviously ) see into other cars. :) It's all the little things we as hearing or sighted people don't think of
When I started wearing my hearing aids again almost 5 years ago, I was terrified of vacuum cleaners. They were so loud and sudden that it scared the crap out of me. My favorite memory was when I was working and I turned around to see a coworker setting up the vacuum. I literally couldn't run fast enough before she turned it on. Nowadays though, my hearing has finally pretty much left the building. There's no sound in my right ear and my left has little hearing left. The vacuum doesn't really bother me anymore.
@@sandieM27 Molly Burke is a blind woman who has a youtube channel. She did a video of the top 10 things she didn't know people could see. She describes this, but from the other perspective - being in a car, and having the driver say, "Oh, looks like that family is all watching a movie." And she started being more mindful closing her curtains in her bedroom after that.
@@pmariec1 this I know thanks Phyllis , I am just too lazy to type that much :)
I wonder if actually it’s healthier the way Ryan breathes playing sports. Like, do we regulate our breathing for social reasons when actually we should breathing louder?
I find that I have to sigh a lot. I naturally hold my breath when I concentrate or listen. But because people think it's rude to sigh I let the sigh out jaggedly (not sure how else to describe it) honestly if I wasn't around people I'd sigh normally or maybe even breath more normally 🤷🏼♀️.
Wow this is a really good question! My doctor said my heart beat is very healthy, maybe it's because my blood is oxygen rich?
I bet it is!
krismmi that’s what my chiropractor said about my daughter. Says she breathes from her belly which is good, a good habit!
Well, I can say that I hang out with elite athletes (almost became one, but, you know) and we are all heavy breathers. My partner mentions it every once in a while.
ok when he snuck the kiss in at 4:04 I immediately teared up. Y'all are too cute. stoppit. xD
Couldn't let the opportunity slide 😁
Sign Duo I didn’t even see it
Sign Duo 😂 you guys are the best that kiss was adorable 😍
Ryan starts signing.
Me: I swear I understood him last video
Me: (realizes that captions are off) 🤦🏽♂️
Every time... 🤦♀️
*turn on the captions*
@@SignDuoChannel love your videos 😍
How do I turn on captions?
@@crystalmadera1649 click on the 3 dots on the top right. Then choose subtitles
I teared up when you said “home should be a safe place” and it made me realize maybe there’s a ton of deaf people that live with hearing people that scold them for making sounds. And how exhausting that could be. I’m sorry to anyone who has to deal with that❤️ I hope people become more aware of how hard it can be to make sure EVERY sound is kept down...
Absolutely that made me more aware myself as my husband is deaf and I'm Hoh, yet I still scold him often because it's annoying. But this made me wake up more to be nicer as they just can't help it and home should be a place where it's safe and comfortable.
This might be a weird question, but when you sleep do your dreams have people signing, people talking but with captions, or just no talking at all? Please let me know because I’m really curious
Now I really want to know the answer to this haha
I’m deaf but I have cochlear implants so it might be different. I do hear voices and sounds since I have experienced them with my implants. However, I know for a fact that completely deaf people that haven’t heard a single sound before, don’t hear sounds when their dreaming. Similar with blind people, if they were blind from birth, they’ll only experience sound, touch, smells, and maybe even see colors while they’re dreaming. Hope that answers your question!
Also do you have an internal monologue (not everyone does- some people think in images/concepts). If so, is your internal monologue in the form of signing? Some hearing people also talk quietly to themselves when sorting out their thoughts, and I have seen my old Deaf instructor sign to herself to do this. Love you both 🤟🏾🤟🏾
I'm really curious about that kind of thing too. I've been around ASL and deaf culture most of my life and I know it's not something a deaf person even thinks about but I've thought about it. For example hearing people have that little voice n their head when they think or whatever, how does that work with the deaf?
I never thought about that when it comes to dreaming
Ryan: Can you hear my heart?
Ellen: *puts head on neck*
Dime there is a pulse present there but generally your neck should not make audible heart noises haha
Edit: I watched longer and Ellen said she could hear it, so I guess it is possible, but sometimes you can hear your own blood in your ear so it could be that too
Hearing should be able to hear it. That's where the jugular is at. One of the fattest arteries in the human body.
@@NeptunianHermitess I hear my blood or my heartbeat when there are no noises around me and I put my head on the pillow. This also happens when I have headphones without music. I think the sound it's because the sound can resonate
I guess she interpreted it as your pulse, rather than specifically your heartbeat.
Renée Johnson you can’t ?? i hear it when i’m laying down on my ear
Love what Ellen said at the end about home being a safe place!! I’m sure it is mentally exhausting! You guys complete each other so well. ☺️🌈
Thank you so much for your comment! It is super important! 😄✨
Java following your hands when signing is so cute. She’s like are we playing? haha 💜
Ryan, your sign is so expressive and beautiful. I love how you use your whole face and body. It's like theater! But I also love how Ellen signs so simply. I think because Ellen learned to sign for you, and probably 99% of the time she is signing with just you, her sign language is almost like "abbreviated" because you know each other so well you understand her even when her gestures are very small. I find that quite sweet and lovely because it shows how close you are. My favorite thing in your videos is to watch your eyes when Ellen is signing because I can see you "listening" to her. You are just a terrific couple and I really enjoy your channel.
My mother was a teacher of the deaf so I had a lot of deaf people and sign language around when I was a child. I wish I remembered all the ESL I learned when I was little, it's mostly gone now, but I sure love remembering little bits of it watching you too! Thank you for your channel.
when I first began watching the clips I was thinking that there was no way that Ellen was actually signing properly as it didn't look possible that she was making sense :) Probably because I am more used to watching Auslan and don't know ASL and was new to it all :)
Thanks Chris! We appreciate your comment and your support!
Sandra Joy I speak NSL (Norwegian sign language) and there is a huge difference when interpreting vs "hanging out" signs 🙈 my hands get all sloppy, while when I'm interpreting I'm really conscious about being expressive. My interpreting signing is quite "big" and expressive, while my "stay home and just do nothing"-signs are sloppy, and instead of doing signs where I'm supposed to do them, like on my cheek or head, I just do them lower. You kind of have to get used to other people's sign language though, after a while you just understand what they say, but if you just meet someone - the "sloppy" signing can be a pain in the ass 😜
I know this an older video, but I was thinking the same. When I used to watch Switched At Birth, I used to tell my husband that the guy who played Emmett talked lazy with his hands, like if he were speaking he would be mumbling. There was no way I could ever try to pick up what he signed! Lol
I’m just really glad I now know the ASL signs for fart and poop.
haha low key did that for you guys 😊
Most important words in life 😂🤣😅
Danielle Marie 😂😂😂
@@SignDuoChannel at least now if I'm out somewhere and reallyyyyy have to poop I can communicate that :)
I knew the one for "poop" from seeing baby sign language things, but now I know "fart" and I consider it the pinnacle of my life's education 😂
Ryan, I never thought about how emotionally exhausting it might be to constantly be thinking about what noises you are making in public. Think of it this way though, you know if you smell something for a while and you go nose-blind to it and don’t notice a smell anymore? Hearing people are constantly hearing noises and random sounds, so I’d bet that 99% of the sounds you make in public, strangers don’t notice at all cause we tend to tune things out. And even if people do notice I bet most of the time they wouldn’t care or think anything of it. Don’t overthink it 😁
Yes! This is very true. Just like with touch, like you put on a wool sweater and it's kinda scratchy for the first few moments but then an hour later you don't feel it unless you focus on it? That's how a lot of hearing is like. Like the AC kicking on/blowing and TV on in the background and other background noises. It alllll goes to the back of our minds to where we don't "hear" it, unless we focus/become mindful of it. I think that's partly why sudden loud noises scare us so much. It disrupts that background noise. It'd be like being in a nice calm pool with your eyes closed and then WAM! someone flips your raft or splashes you.
That kiss he gave her when she pressed her cheek against his was super adorable and precious. Tears welled up in my eyes and everything. Super wholesome.
LOL I love how when Ryan asks if Ellen can hear his heart she just puts her head up to his face and neck instead of his chest 😂😂😂
You know you can feel and hear the pulse in your neck with your ear.
@@geofffikar3417 Yes I'm aware, my comment was just about her doing it that way instead of listening from his chest
And he can't help but steal a little kiss while she is there
When she's listening for his heartbeat.. That was soo cute oml
haha 🥰
I love their relationship, they're so cute! But let's be honest, Java is the real star of the vid! 😂
Yep. You know it! 🐶✨
When she tried to hear his heart by putting their faces together MY HEART = MELTED
I think it would be interesting if y’all did an interview with Ryan’s mom/dad talking about raising a deaf child and how they took to Ellen when they first met/dated. I believe that would very insightful to the differences and entertaining to hear/see their perspective on the deaf/hearing relationship. Just a thought but I love the videos very educational and inspiring!
I would LOVE to learn more about Ryan's childhood. Is his family hearing? How did he and his family adjust to having a Deaf son? Did they all learn sign language together? How did they support him through bullying? From what they've said about her so far, his mom sounds amazing 🤩!!
Matching outfits!! so cute 💞 I missed you guys
Hahaha unintentionally matched! missed ya too ❤️
At 3:50 i was like “this would be a perfect chnac for him to be cute and smonch her” and thEN HE DID AAAA made me happy :)
Ryan's signing is very ASMR! It's so calming when he's explaining something
Aw I'm glad I come off as calm! That makes me happy 😊
I have a condition called pulsatile tinnitus, so I can always hear my heartbeat in one ear. It’s a sort of “whooshing” sound. It used to annoy me so much, but I’ve learned not to take anything for granted :)
OMW, is that what it is? I've had SSD since 2018 and tinnitus still new to me although my 24/7 friend :_( And sometimes ill be doing nothing, and I can hear the pounding whoosh in my ear (do you notice someone can be talking next to you and you won't hear them over it?). I never knew that its a separate part of tinnitus. I could never explain it to my doctor. Thank you so much.
Wow. I have always been able to hear my own heartbeat in my ears. I honestly thought everyone could! I’ve had tinnitus since childhood, can’t remember anything else. Don’t know what true silence is like.
Yep, tinnitus is difficult to diagnose or find a cause for. There are also so many different kinds, it’s very interesting to read about. I’m seeing a new audiologist soon, so I hope that goes well!
Atiyyah Makada Oh my gosh, I’m a dancer and the sound gets louder when my heart beats faster, so I totally understand what you mean. I usually just wear one AirPod since I can’t hear anything in the other ear because of the noise haha.
whoa that's very interesting! 😮 true, never take anything for granted haha
You guys are the absolute cutest 🤗😂
Thanks Leah 😁
That little cheek kiss as she was listening for his heart/pulse, I'm dead, so cute
To be honest I just love that she comforts him in many ways, and he does the same to her
My question is for Ellen; do you ever miss having a voice talk back to you?
No, I think what I miss is being able to talk sometimes but I never miss having someone voice to me.
@@SignDuoChannel does Ryan use vocals more often with you when not on camera?
I was shook when Ellen said she could hear her own heartbeat when she works out. I've never heard mine without a stethoscope. She must have crazy good hearing!
Tania Emma interesting I can hear my heart regardless if I’m working out or not I just have to listen for it
I can feel mine, not hear it
Same, I think my heart is kinda faint idk but I never hear my heartbeat either! Glad I’m not the only one haha I can feel it when I press my chest or neck with my hands but just not hear, weird.
As a person with asthma I can hear my heartbeat often enough. It gets really annoying and when I'm running and doing sports it annoys me so much, it drives me crazy sometimes
I can also hear my heart beating when I work out XD
Oh wait. I don't do any workout.
I wonder if Ellen's ever had a dream where she and Ryan communicated verbally.
Wow! I really did wonder the answer 😂
I loved the part about making home a safe space where he doesn't need to be self conscious about the noises he makes. That was so sweet and warms my heart. Love how caring you both are in your relationship.
Keep up the great content and stay safe
Remember to wash your hands
Thanks! We def keep that in mind with all the signing we do. We have to keep our hands very clean!
And your face 3x a day (after washing hands first)
I sooo love learning about life from a deaf person's perspective. It's pretty cool. Thanks for being willing to answer questions and for another great video 💖
Thank you for watching and the support ❤️
when you asked if when she woke up and couldn’t hear herself breathing if she’d be scared, I was just thinking “YES!”, it would terrify me. I live alone so I probably hear myself more, and am probably a little more conscious of it so that I can be aware of sounds that are out of place, so it becomes like a rhythm. thank you to the person who asked this, I might focus on the sensations more from now on rather than just the sound. If one day I can’t hear myself breathing but I can feel it, I’ll probably be less scared than I would’ve been
I'm glad this video helped you! 😄 there's no need to be scared at all
Sign Duo for sure! just appreciate this video because where there’s a lot of more obvious things that I’ve learned to really not take for granted through knowing deaf and hoh people and yknow just being a human who wants to appreciate the senses I have available, I guess I had never recognized this part of it because it’s so base level that you don’t really talk about it
I can’t imagine how much more intimate this would make you with your partner- because you actually have to pay attention when they speak and you can’t zone them out and pretend lol.
Hahaha not true. We do that all the time in deaf circles. 🤣🤣🤣 Or on phone calls. 🤣 Be half ass looking at the screen chiming in with a nod or "wow" or "crazy" or "really?!" 🤣🤣🤣 Especially when were all doing other stuff with our hands, minimally signing. 😝 These two just got great communication skills lol there's a version of that in signing relationships as well. 🤣 Or talking over each other, or yelling.
@@megdalenagonzalez-mounce1776 in deaf circles yes, but their relationship is unique one is hearing and one isn't. So both pay more attention to each other to be sure they catch everything they're saying to each other. Thus the intimacy is enhanced.
Just wanna say, I just recently discovered your channel and I love your videos and the additive behind it. You guys have inspired me to be more open and proud of being deaf. I was born hard of hearing that gradually got worse until I became deaf at a very young age. At 4 years, couldn’t even speak a word and I only knew a few animal signs. As I got older, I learned sign language and I got cochlear implants. Now, I can say that I speak and hear very well but in my teen years, I got very insecure about being deaf. Your videos have helped me to feel better about myself and to be proud of my deafness. I wish I had found your channel sooner because it would have helped a lot in middle school. So I just wanna say you for everything you do, and know that you are changing people’s lives! ❤️❤️❤️
Continue to be proud of being deaf. Deaf culture is so beautiful especially signing. All that goes into expressing one's self holds so much beauty and passion.
I am hearing but have deaf friends so I learned ASL to communicate with them.
Stay strong
Hey! This is Ryan and I appreciate your comment! Deafness can be tough but we got this! :)❤️
Can you hear yourself "talking/noises" in your mind? Ex: talking to yourself.
U mean thinking😂
Do you mean like when you read or think? I believe the technical term is "internal monologue" and funnily enough I recently some random vids show up in my suggesteds about the subject. They didn't even touch on deafness and how that may impact it, but apparently there's a (likely small) number of hearing people who don't have an internal monologue/inner voice. This one girl that the guy was talking to about it was saying she doesn't hear it in her head when she thinks, reads etc, she said she might see images or such or just absorb the information allowing her to read more quickly.
One psychologist thinks there may be 4 different types of people when it comes to internal monologue but another thinks those who say they don't have that voice actually do but just maybe don't interpret it right or something (idk the guy was super confusing).
Personally, I hear myself when I read but I feel like I rarely "talk to myself" in my head or think in that way... example: I hear myself reading it as I write this and I hear if I sit and mentally compose before writing something, but, if i was trying to decide what to eat for lunch I wouldn't stand in front of the fridge talking it out in my head "do I want cheese in my sandwich or ham? Do I even want a sandwich or something else", etc, I might _very_ rarely say a thought aloud: "hmm cheese or ham?", but it seems some people do the former, IDK how frequent that is and how it ties in with the frequency of reading internally. I always thought that "thinking" (like that debate about lunch) was just something exaggerated for movies but it was whatever, never occurred to me that some hearing people apparently lack that voice completely though, I still can't get my head around the way that girl was trying to explain how it works for her lol.
But anyway, I suspect if hearing people are that diverse with it then deaf people are probably the same (some do have an internal monologue and others don't)? 🤷♀️
@His Way Which video? I'm also really curious about this
2 things I keep get tell off because noise I make cos I don’t hear them:
1) Knife and fork noise on plate. Sometime I forget be slowly gently on plate when hungry.
2) Open food container lid off, apparently make lot of noise like lock and lock container.
ohh yeah those things are loud! lol
Was anyone else saying, "Listen to his chest!" when she was trying to hear his heartbeat? haha! Cute to do his face and neck though. Lol. You know it, but you two are so cute.
Dude I love y’all so much and y’all have inspired me to learn sign language now that we have to stay inside
🤟
Sign Duo 🤟🏽♥️
Use lifeprint ASL on youtube
When Ellen said "pssss" I was literally dying 😂😂😂
😆
Im kinda sad rn, and it just got on my mind that, he's never going to be able to hear her voice 😭
don't worry I've heard it
Sign Duo awww 🥰
Sign Duo how has he heard the voice? Just asking, I really wanna know!
Ellen looks stunningggg ! Love dynamic that you 3 have 💜
She is beautiful! I'm so lucky!
I'm pretty new to this channel, but the noises Ryan makes while signing is satisfying. If you see this love both of you!
4:00 SO FRICKING WHOLESOME 🥺
Wow, I got a bit emotional at 4:15 when you two were discussing heartbeats. Of all the, "firsts," lying together, still, quiet, hearing or especially feeling your partner's heart beat, there's an intimacy to that that's like no other.
Can we take a minute to notice how they are both wearing green and matching☺️
Can you here you inner voice, like the “voice in your head” and Java is a lil spoiled💕
yes i can :)
I'm no expert, but in my humble opinion... you can never spoil a puppy too much 😁 They deserve all the things ❤
OMG WAIT IM SO EXCITED!! This is like the first I’ve ive been able to understand the majority of what Ryan’s saying without looking at the captions!!! AHHHH
Naaawwww that little cheek kiss was so cute omg I'm dead now 🥰
U guys are so visually attractive! What a cute couple. Ellen.. u look gorgeous!
Him: Can you hear my heartbeat?
Her: **Puts her ear up against his cheek-**
It's really cool that you both sign so naturally 👍Im currently learning ASL, and you guys are great
I feel like they should be called sign trio with the doggers, but these videos have inspired me to learn ASL
She cuddles.... IT'S FOR SCIENCE!!! LOL Ya'll are too cute.
I want to learn sign language so i looked it up on UA-cam and you guys came up and the first 10 seconds of the video I instally subscribed. You guys are awesome and you guys are so funny. LOVE YOU GUYS♥️♥️♥️.
That's awesome! Welcome to the family! 😊🤟
I have a question, have you ever wondered what hearing was like or if you ever had any moments where you have said, "I never knew you could hear that." I know someone who is blind and she will say things like, "Oh I didn't know you could see into other peoples cars" or "I never thought that you could see detail on the moon." and I was wondering if you have had any of those moments in your life.
yea i say that to ellen all the time haha.
Dude it's so wild cause he's so good at mouthing words that I feel like I can hear what he's saying. It's like someone talking and I have headphones on. Cause if you had your volume all the way down you'd think he was talking! And I think that's sooooooo helpful for if a deaf person and a hearing person who has no sign knowledge, are communicating!!!
You two are among the sweetest people I’ve ever met.
when she was checking his heartbeat🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
First day I got hearing aids I went to the bathroom in the Costco where I had gotten them. Quiickly realized that I had made it well into my thirties not realizing other folks can hear you pee! I guess I sort of knew if it was super quiet, small room at home and listened hard I made some sort of noise when I peed but had no clue that folks in other stalls could hear you and you can hear them!!! Spent the rest of that afternoon crowd sourcing on social media if my hearing aids were special or just average hearing folks can just hear everyone peeing away in Costco! Also, hair and clothing make noise! Who knew?!?! Not me.
haha you must have been shocked!
Foley* must have been an interesting concept for you!
*adding sounds to film (such as the sounds of cloth, foot steps, items touching, etc.)
You guys are both such good looking human beings 😭
I think hearing people *think* we hear our heartbeat, but really we're feeling it.
i find these videos extremely satisfying and calming to watch with just the hand motions and everything it’s amazing to me...
i'm honestly so happy i came across your guys' channel! i've been learning asl for a couple years now and a lot of what you guys talk about is very informative and also fun. i've literally been bingeing on your videos lol so just wanted to say thank you!!!!
That's awesome! Welcome to the family! 😄🤟
As a hearing person, I don't usually hear my body noises, unless it's quiet, or unless I'm wearing ear protection/noise cancellation devices. But as soon as my ears are plugged up, I hear a LOT of body noises!
It strikes me that that's a big difference with being deaf or not: I can experience one aspect of what it's like to be deaf if I wear a lot of ear protection, in that I might not hear sounds outside myself, but as soon as that other noise is canceled out, I hear things I didn't realise I must be hearing every day, because my brain and the other "white noise" of life cancels them out. My heart is the loudest thing, and then the second loudest is probably swallowing. Oh, and walking or brushing against things. Even gentle walking I hear pretty loudly from within my body if my ears are plugged up and covered. It's not just vibration picked up by my sense of touch; it's vibration picked up in my ears.
It's like when Ellen puts her ear against Ryan to listen; sound travels through solid material differently than through air, so if you're touching that object (as when your inner ear is touching the solidity of your body), then you hear sounds through it.
*pauses* I just wanna say how cute Ryan was when he gave a lil kiss to Ellen 🥺😭 that was the cutest thing ever lol
& everyone is getting kisses 🥺
Hi you two! I just wanted to say that I really appreciate all of your videos, the information you share, common questions answered, and allowing all of us into your life.
I recently bought a house with my husband, and we have wonderful neighbors who happen to be deaf. ( My husband and I are hearing) I took sign language in grade school, and all but remembered the abc's. I remember enjoying sign language a lot when I was little. ( I'm 35 now.)
I felt this yearning and urgency, and wanted to be able to communicate with them, and understand them...get to know them, and let them get to know me.
I've been teaching myself for the past month, writing down 20-30 words/phrases every day. My husband helps test me each week with my notepad. I struggle mostly with understanding fingerspelling, because its so fast!! Im working on it. :) And I'm catching on.
And here I am...I stumbled upon Sign Duo! And you both have helped me appreciate/understand/respect deaf culture. And it helps watching you both sign and interact.
It gives me perspective.
I've recently been reading about ASL grammar.. time-topic-comment-referent.
That is confusing for my mind, while trying to sign. However, I notice on your videos, you sign in the order in which a person would speak it. I hope this isn't a silly question, but do you sign in that way for videos, or is that how best you communicate,, or does one use ASL grammar as a "shorthand" way to get the message across efficiently?
I realize this is a long message, but wanted to send my gratitude 🙏
I hope you both have a wonderful evening, and thank you again.

Haha, they uploaded the video and it was 00:00 at my place 😅
Aw Ryan’s face just patiently waiting for Ellen to hear his heart was super cute haha
Always makes my morning seeing that they've posted a video! ❤️
So Ryan said he can’t hear a lot of things, so what can you hear? Like can you hear certain things and some things you can’t?
If he's severely deaf, he wouldn't be able to hear anything. He could feel vibrations such as an engine or loud thunder. Vibrations is basically the waves that sound passes through. The energy from the sound waves can cause vibrations in things you feel like a fan or a person stomping. Vibrations are basically the physical form of sound but its not sensed by hearing, it's felt with touch. I hope this helps you understand!
DeafDragonArtist I understood the vibration thing before, but thanks anyways!!
yea i can hear certain things and some I can't!
@@SignDuoChannel Way to be specific Ryan. Lol
So my brother’s friend is also deaf and he has implants so he can hear and when he isn’t wearing them he can read people’s lips. Is that a way for you to communicate to others?
Reading lips is a good skill to learn but it’s not always effective. Most of it is just guessing seriously. For example, p, b, ms are very similar so if someone said, I have a mug, it might look like I have a pog or I have a bog. But those last two options don’t make sense so it would be mug. So it takes skill, guessing, and logic to lipread. Hope this was helpful!
well you can use paper to write down or gesture!
DeafDragonArtist well his lip reading is really accurate and he understands what we’re saying.
Reading lips may help me only understand about 30% of the whole sentence. But I would not be able to understand if u speak to me slowly, word by word. In fact, I only need two or three keywords to guess and make up the full sentence.
@@isaiahnytes5405 that I what I'm saying. It takes a lot of practice to be able to recognize the shapes that mouths make when they form words. For a beginner, it would be hard for them to tell the difference between letters that make the same shape. More experienced and skilled lipreaders will have more ease reading lips. I'm a fairly good lipreader because I use it when I'm not using my cochlears. But with enough practice and experience, you can lip-read effecively. I was just saying that's letters often look similar so it does include logic and guessing along with skill and that it can be difficult for beginners.
I just found your channel yesterday and I've fallen in love! Thank you for explaining things that many don't know or even consider.
Thank you both for educating everyone! I love learning about your community💙🤟🏻
Hmm. I’ve never thought about that
haha interesting for you?
Sign Duo Yes😁
RYAN PUT A RING ON IT I WANNA SEE A WEDDING HAPPEN I WANNA SEE KIDS I WANNA SEE YOU GUYS LIVE AN EVEN HAPPIER LIFE WITH YOUR KIDS AND JAVA!😭❤️
I know your intentions are well, but as someone who can't have kids and have gotten people saying these things to me before, you never know someone else's situation. Maybe they can't, or maybe they don't want them. Maybe they aren't ready or maybe for personal, work, or insurance reasons getting married isn't what is best right now. Just be conscious when you make these kinds of statements.
@@jtjc7705 it was out of love. your own experience has made you sensitive
@@dclxvi7960 not necessary, it's pressure people don't need. We have enough of it. We will do shit when we want to.
@@dclxvi7960 like they chose their situation? Pls be more sensitive to others, telling someone that they can’t feel a certain way is kinda rude, especially if it’s not their choice. Sorry I just felt like I needed to say that sorry no hate just a friendly reminder 😉👌🏼
I love how in depth you go with answers! Rather than speed answering every question. I'm learning so much
I love your channel! Thank you!
IVE BEEN WONDERING FOREVER HOW HE DEALS WITH FARTING IF HES GOTTA LET ONE OUT IN PUBLIC
Anna Scattoni probably just goes to the bathroom lol
I mean, Elsa said it best. You just have to let it go... let it go... can't hold it back anymore...
I was doing something for a little bit, then I look up and see Ellen's head on Ryan's neck and I was like WTF!
hahaha
I've never really thought about how difficult and straining it must be to try to stay quiet in public when you cannot even hear yourself make a noise. Thanks for putting that into perspective for me! Stay safe and happy 💗
you two are so nice i can’t stop watching your videos! sending love and stay safe
Does Ryan have an inner monologue? Like can he “hear” his thoughts?
Hey! I'm currently learning nzsl, and was wondering how long it took you to learn asl?
It took Ellen about 6 months to be able to hold a decent conversation :)
@@SignDuoChannel Oh, wow! Okay, thanks for replying! ^^
I’m hearing. A few years ago I was surfing in Nicaragua and had a bad wipe out on a wave and almost drowned. A week before that, I scuba dove while I had a cold. Back in the states, my hearing went away for like a week. I woke up one morning and couldn’t hear. I banged on my bedroom walls and couldn’t hear anything. I’m back to hearing, but that experience taught me a lot so I started ASL classes, but then COVID hit and they stopped. I know only a few signs, but you guys are inspiring me again and I’m learning by watching you, so thank you! You are both captivating too!
You guys are so precious 😊 it was so cute when you tried to hear his heartbeat (:
I’ve heard deaf people can sort of “listen” to music by feeling the vibration? Is that true and if so, are there also other ways deaf people can enjoy music?
Wait so you mean that if Ryan’s in a life-threatening situation (God forbid he does), he can’t hear himself or like the problem that’s happening with him?
I'd say there are relatively few life-or-death situations that rely only on hearing your own body noises to notice. Most come with other sensations, like feeling.
I love this, I just finished asl 1 I am trying soo hard to follow the signs, the subtitles help but I'm so happy I found your channel in my home screen I cant wait to see more from you both!
Enjoyed watching this!
Why did Ryan never get hearing aids or something to bring back his hearing?
Yeah, I will like to know the answer of this or if he ever thought about doing it.
I was thinking I saw one vlog where he said he did have them at one point but they aren't helpful now. Maybe Ryan or Ellen will pop in and answer.
I’m not deaf but from what I’ve heard from other deaf or hard of hearing people especially if you grow up in an environment with a lot of deaf people you form bonds and have a whole culture and have a cochlear implant or hearing aid can take away from that. Also, some people aren’t eligible to get them
Because hearing aids rely on residual hearing that Ryan may not have. Hearing aids are just amplifiers and use what he has by raising the volume or adjusting the pitch to match his hearing profile. If he doesn't have anything to raise, then hearing aids don't have much use. They are not fix alls or miraculous auxilary aids, their functions are quite limited. Cochlear implants surpasses the ear and sends messages directly to the auditory nerve, but they require training to gain the best use of them. They are more effective for people who have lost their hearing and they can use their auditory memory to create associations between new sounds and the sounds they already expect. Whereas Ryan probably doesn't have that experience so it would be a bigger challenge for him to gain any benefit. Plus if he is like me, he might prefer the peace and quiet.
Speaking as a hard of hearing, I tried hearing aids but it was just too much for me to process. I was overwhelmed and panick-y. When your brain isn't used to processing all that input it's too much. Just my experience! Love you guys!
As someone who wants to learn sign language and knows that they’ll be travelling a lot to different countries, what sign language would you recommend? ASL, because it’s one of the most common ones, or rather International Sign Languange? ☺️
I also wanted to know what is the most recommended sign language
Love these types of videos... stay safe!❤️❤️
I love this channel cause it is insightful to see how different things are when you are deaf and how in hearing society you have to try to be aware of the sounds you might be making
