Hey there! Thanks for watching and HUGE THANK YOU to Rikki for helping out with this video! Make sure you check out her channel: ua-cam.com/users/rikkipoynter
Note: During the sign language in different languages part at 1:39 the Arabic text was meant to say "Kuwait Sign Language". Our apologies for the mix up!
Why not just fix the video?
The subtitles was a shocker tbh. But I should of expected that lol.

Why *do you* keep putting random *words* in *bold?*
It's an *addiction.* A *bold* addiction.
Oh *okay.* I understand, I *hope* you over *come* your *addiction.*
Thank you *zombu,* I *appreciate* it.
What *if* the person is only *partially deaf* or has not been born deaf but *has lost her hearing after learning the english language*. She sounds very *professional* indeed.

Question: Can deaf people hear things in their heads? Or in their dreams?
No, unless they can still hear. Some people can hear, but not well at all. Most deaf people think and dream in sign language. Hope this helps!
You can’t dream about something you never saw,like someone or a place, the same happens to deaf people
Da Dragon Durp yeah deaf people can hear thing in their head and dreams.
Well, I’m your answer here. And yes I hear things sometimes inside my head and dreams... ehh, not sure.
This is actually a interesting topic that I dove into a little while back in my studies. The answer to your question: it depends. If somebody is born deaf then they will most likely never hear things in their heads, while people who were not born deaf and say already knew the language before becoming deaf would still hear things in their heads.
Ooooo....subtitles....
Wtf
well, you can just turn them on in any other lifenoggin video, so it's not much

I'm from Malaysia and married to a Deaf wife. Through her, I've become involved with the Deaf community and took up Sign language as a course in the Deaf organisation I work for now. I've learned their culture and identity and it has taught me a lot of patience especially patience has never been one of my virtues. It's great to meet the Deaf from other cultures and I recently attended the World Federation of the Deaf Conference in Singapore 2 years ago and learned lots more! Thanks for sharing.....
I remember yesterday, my mom, my friend and I went to a mall. We sat down at a fast food restaurant during lunch. While my mom ordered food, a man walked up to our table and sat down. I almost spoke, but when I noticed the device (hearing aid), I “spoke” to him in ASL sign language that somebody was sitting on the other side of the table. I realized that he placed a card on the table. I read it, and it was an organization charity. I donated to him $1 (or in he Philippines, 50 pesos) and he thanked me.
I told my mom about it, and she was not happy.
But to me? Doing good for others, especially during the Christmas season, is important and a big thing.

**Ask a question by voice and deaf person responds by voice too**
Me : hol' up
They might be able to read lips I know a deaf lady who can
When you are deaf you can’t improve your speech, so if you were born deaf then you’ll stay at that speech level and if you become deaf later you’ll have the same speech level as before does this clear it up?
You can use a hearing aid if you are deaf... Don't Woooosh me

I was at my band concert last night and there was a deaf person. coincidence???
No.
Mr_Moon That’s where this community has the advantage. In music, you are supposed to feel the rhythm and the beat, and they can flow with the movement of music much more smoothly.
Jordan Hollins They seemed like they were having a pretty good time.
I also was at my band concert night
Luke coincidence???
This is weird. There was a band concert at my school last night.
Im actually 50% deaf because i hear very loud ringing sound in my ear which is annoying becuase i cant hear anything
same
That doesn’t mean your deaf. It’s just when it’s quiet and it causes no harm. Just watching a video at the lowest volume can help
I am comepletely deaf
You have max volume
I don’t know what percentage of deafness I have, but I definitely cannot hear without my Hearing-AIDS.
I am deaf but I wear a little thing on my ear I don't know how to call it (maybe I will call it headphone) but I can't hear everything around me with that thing it's so helpful also I am very thankful for my parents for getting me a 17.000€ headphone, I appreciate that

Cochlear implant?
I'm learning ASL and shared it with my ASL teacher.
LOVE YOUR UA-cam CHANNEL. PLEASE DO MORE. CONTINUE SUCCESS.
( bad English = good ASL)
I'm deaf and ahhh I'm happy there's subtitles. :D. Video is good!
Yes! I wear cochlear implant, it's amazing how a small piece of technology arrow me to hear. Althrough I still miss information and have differently hearing. I also use New Zealand sign language (NZSL) when I was born, I could't hear anything at all and could't learn to talk or learn how to read during those years. Till at 3 and half, I got my first cochlear. Which then I had a lot to catch up and school was very hard for me, but I kept going. Right now, ...next year I've being accepted to uni. ^-^ so lf you see this! I want to say thank you for sharing some deaf awareness :) (forgive my grammar)
I really enjoyed this episode but the subtitles were very hard to read with this color.
you could turn on the subtitles on UA-cam
Yeah, that's true but with two layers of subs, it is very distracting

Wow! I love how you put captions in this video so that deaf people can understand it by reading it.
Is so cute that you used subtitles in this video for the deaf people to watch too!😊
Being deaf is so hard
321456 Joshua agreed
get well soon scrub
Hey at least u can read
Not here. Im fully deaf.
It really is. But it can be great at the same time too. Because when things are really annoying, you can just take off your hearing aids and smile. And say “Oh, sorry. I can’t hear you”. Lmao
This is pretty awesome. I looked up a youtuber that was deaf, and I was just fascinated by her. As I started to make my video on her I really became inspired by her. What people would consider a "handicap" and educating people on it. Great video!❤
This time subtitles did not covered content....gr8😃😃
That's true! I don't use them because im deaf, but to complement because i speak spanish (i actually understand what he says, but meh) and it is good that now subtitles didn't covered like the half of the screen (obviously sarcasm)

The terrible people I have in my class would probably make fun of how the poor deaf girl is speaking.
Love Heart "terrible people in your class"
People make fun of me, I’m deaf and can’t hear how I sound. I need to just punch them 😊
I thought that being deaf was just a few people who couldn’t hear and had to use sign language I had no idea it’s an entire culture
Yeah I am also deaf, I am the only one deaf in my school or so I think but (some other people have hard of hearing not complete deafness so yeah) but to some people they didn’t know what deaf was so if I met new people I have to explain everything and I thought I was the only one until I learned about the deaf community it was fascinating and I aspire to do my best and my deafness makes me who I am :)
Could you please make a video about where the term "crush" (as in liking someone) came from?
Because you are crushed with the person meaning you like them, it’s a metaphor because....

People that are being called disabled should be called warriors for this is what they are. Dealing with stuff that almost no people deal with . Great respect to those guys . Much love . From israel❤
Stop diluting words. They are nothing like a warrior, so why would you call them that? Warriors are people who fight in gruesome warfare, slashing each other apart into piles of flesh for their homeland.
zombu they don't fight people . They fight life . Far worse opponent. This is why i call them warriors
That's just called living. Everyone has challenges.
zombu not big as their's
shallev ashush the thot slayer not to say that being deaf isn't hard... But they're hardly warriors
A kid in my school is blind, but holy. He uses his ears and taste to live life to the fullest. We give him a sugar cookie, he slowly eats it and enjoys it. If music is on from the loud speaker, he dances all the way through. Be like this if you are blind or deaf, don't let this be an obstacle. Be like him and live your life to the fullest.
What language do they think in
I always wondered that. Maybe by images, or written.
+killer flag98 Maybe they visualize themselves doing sign language. Thinking in a language only helps up communicate with ourselves and plan what we will communicate to others, so it's not technically necessary for people to think in a language at all. (I'm not a expert, but that explaination makes sense to me.)
The exact same way as you - in concepts. Babies don't think in a language. Animals don't think in a language. You don't think in a language. You think in concepts. Your brain translates these concepts into your language, which is the reason why all animals can think, they just don't speak because they have sounds they make to help communicate with other animals of the same species (Kinda like you do, except these sounds are words).
Well im thinking by day dreaming i guess all others does it too.
killer flag98 i think some pbs channel answered the questions
Quick answer: you cant hear

Hey I've got a question. So since we know that our sun seems yellow due to our atmosphere but is actually white. What if we had a different color star? If it was let's say a blue star, would it change to a different color or blend on with the sky? If we had a red star, would it be a dark red or a totally different color? I hope some one can help me with this question.. I'm really curious!!
Please see this

Hey life noggin I really love your videos
I'm actually a part of the hard of hearing community. My deafness may be caused by genetics, however, because I was actually not a part of the hard of hearing community until age 4-5. Then, at rhat point, my hearing started to go downhill. Right now I attend a mainstream school (and I have hearing aids, too) and my mom and I both communicate with speech and sign language. My dad is a hearing person. (My hearing has dropped by about 50% from the time I started going deaf to this very moment right now.)
Edit: I will also try to answer questions revolving around deafness, do not worry.
Try watching the video with no sound, see how you like it
Prqnk3d same, don't go sobbing in the comments being half deaf is not that bad and you know that
I’d rather be deaf than blind don’t you agree?
Rashaud Walker agreed. Actually I'm deaf and I'm smart
Rashaud Walker being deaf is not harf
Of all the people i've asked, they have the same opinion than you. But for me, i'll NEVER prefer not hearing. I don't know, it just seems so important to me. I don't care if it is "easier", or never seeing a face or details you care about in life again. I mean, that is horrible, but I just can't handle the possibility of never hearing a voice, or a song, or a laugh, or even my own voice when I'm singing. I love reading, and I wouldn't be able to do this if I'm blind, but damn I need noise.
Rashaud Walker As an artist, i agree.
Loosing sight would be for me a loss of a part of me.
And if i think further from the fact that I am an artist, I would also be terrified not being able to look at everything around me, colours, people, animals, shadows and more. Observation of the world around me gives me the highest possible emotional involvement than any other thing.
But at the same time I would feel bad if I tourned deaf, because I would loose the ability to listen to music.

Aww, that’s really sweet of you using closed captions for deaf or hard-hearing people. And I’m deaf too.

Hi! Im 26 years old. I have been slowly losing my hearing since I was a child due to head trauma and genetics. My cousin is also losing her hearing. We are learning sign together, so that when the day comes (and it will) we will be prepared. Hearing aid's have not helped either of us. We are expected to become fully deaf within the next decade. So far, the learning ASL has been a breeze, and things seem to make more sense in my head now when I can pair it with ASL. I encourage everyone, even those with no hearing problems, to learn ASL. It really will give you a new perspective on life and a way communicate when you cannot speak or hear at times.
My mom has begun to lose her hearing I’ve protected my ears my whole life though
My Godmother is deaf and my uncle and two friends are hard of hearing. 💕
i’m currently learning ASL and i have a deaf teacher who has quickly become my favorite teacher and i consider him an inspiration and has helped me understand how different people in the Deaf community view their lack of hearing
Feels like watching a video in another language with subtitles that makes no sense

I had a roommate who was deaf, I'm visually impaired. We made an interesting team. She was a deaf teacher & I learned a lot from her about the deaf community.
I don’t know why, but my mind immediately went to the quote “I am become deaf, destroyer of worlds”
You've gotten me interested in this type of stuff. But I've got a big question: I've seen videos talking about people who are blind and now I've seen one about people who are deaf, but what about people who can't smell? Is that something that can happen? How can it affect someone?
Now you know right? With covid around? Besides all types of lost things on your body will affect differently, just don’t compare.
Videos like these make me feel better because I know that everyone is suffering in some way, and that you are not alone

What's next? What Is It Like To Be Blind?
You see nothing, not just black, or just white, just, nothing at all.
Lucky Banana I can’t imagine that... It’s so weird thinking of nothing
SabNik 3001 Ikr I have no idea how they live like that, it must be very difficult and it will take a really long time to get used to. I feel bad for people who are Deaf, Blind and can't speak. ;-;
Lucky Banana well you cannot actually know what they see, because there is no definition of any color, so blind people cannot answer to the question "What are you can you see?" basically because you describe something you see with colours and, as I said, you cannot give a deffinition for any colour. Also, there is another theory, that everyone sees colours differently, but because we learn to name everything that we see a specific colour, it makes no difference. So what I basically mean, is that I may see res as what you see green, but because we call each one a specific name, we think everything is fine.
Frag Kampit I already heard of that theory with the colours. It’s interesting
My brother was born deaf and I signed before I spoke. I feel kinda special because I got to live in both communities, the hearing, and the deaf. To be fair I was more or less an outsider in the deaf community, but was accepted enough that I got to see it. They forced my brother to learn SEE when I was young, so that is what I learned. ASL came many years later and my duel citizenship in the two cultures made it less necessary and more difficult to pick it up. My brother was my best friend as a child and I still love to hang with him today. We kinda came up with our own language, and I'm still the only one who knows what he is saying just by hearing him speak.

Yea how do they do that illuminati confirmed
This came up between me and my mum a couple days ago, we were watching this Christmas film, and at one point Santa does sign language to this girl, who at first I thought was mute because she wasn't speaking. When I mentioned that, mum said that she was deaf, and people who are deaf from birth are often mute because they never learn what the sounds are.
Coral Maynard ohhhh ok
Coral Maynard or back in the old days they where taught by having the kids hand on the speakers throat or chest so they can hear how the vibrations work
That is so interesting, why don't they do that now?
It’s so nice of you to add subtitles
Hey can you please make a video on "what will happen if there was no nasa" please

My art teacher was deaf. she taught us sign language. There was a test for her where we had to sign our names. THIS IS ART NOT ASL (american sign language). lol
Sign language is painting words into the air with your hands. It's not only a language but an art. Your teacher wanted to do her job; to teach children new things. - A Hard of Hearing person who's fluent in ASL
It's so nice and thoughtful that you added Rikki to talk about it first hand

How do deaf people learn to pronounce something since they have never heard anyone speaking..?
Not everyone is born deaf, so they learn how to pronounce some things.
Most deaf people those days get hearing aids or choclear aids.

Become deaf after learning to speak, it can happen
Someone in my school is deaf. She has a cochlear implant. I talked to her one time she could barely hear me. So I kept on having to speak up. She was actually really cool!!

How can deaf learn a language?
Abubakr Siddiq I'm Deaf myself. We study and practice a language.
Just learn from communication. I grown up with my hearing family. When I keeps talk a lot. They learn more about sign language. So yeah. Communication is easy to learn. But can be study.
Abubakr Siddiq well some of us go to deaf schools, or like I did I found videos online... we can turn on subtitles or get a hearing person to write down what they are saying
Abubakr Siddiq we young and we deaf wa faster learn
They can learn language by using language book
This was very eye opening to me. Thanks for the video. This actually further hammers my point home that the anime film, Silent Voice, is not that good.
I feel that the movie treats deafness as a disability. But according to your video, the deaf community doesnt think of it as a disability. Which I find awesome and inspiring.
I think you would not be able to hear anything

My best friend who was hard of hearing is now deaf. She’s incredibly sad. I too am hard of hearing. I feel so sorry for her.
I myself am hard of hearing and learning sign language at the age of 14 and I think this video explains a lot to people thank you for posting
You're deaf?
I have a deaf friend and She always carries around a notebook to communicate and im always patient with her and explain things to her
Hey Blocko, I take an American Sign Language class on Zoom on Tuesday afternoons with my friend who takes turns teaching it with another person from an agency that I'm not revealing the name of to you online. I like it, but I'm glad that I'm not deaf at all. I'm more of the hearing type. Who knows? I have friends who are deaf, but still talk like everyone else does. No, I'm not part of the deaf community.
I hope he can hear her own voice because its so nice and comforting
I am not a part of the community directly, but my family was once. My Great Grandparents were deaf, one born, and one because scarlet fever. My family also helped build the Washington School for the Deaf, as we were homestead farmers in the region before it was a state. My grandparents of course had to know sign language to speak to their parents, which lead to my father knowing enough to get by with them. I learned some from my family, and some in high school, but have never depended on it to speak to anyone in the family. So while my current ties to the community are basically none existent, it's neat to know that my family had an impact on it that lasts to this day through the school.
I don’t have any friends who are deaf, but one of my friends grew up with a deaf dad.
My mom is deaf and is the d/hh teacher at my school. All her interpreters are really nice as well
_My dad is one of them_ , he has *one sided Deafness* . And i really felt sorry for him not living a normal life
I am part of this community I have a heart of hearing every time people speak I have to read the lips because of this people think of me being weird and I have a few friends
I’m partially deaf and one thing that annoys me is some of my friends say death instead of deaf
