I would love to be deaf for a day, to experience and enjoy everything just as much as she does. I love music with all my soul, but I would love to learn how music feels when you cannot hear. Because people of the hearing world can't experience that, and clearly it must still be just as incredible, if not better. You're inspiring Cheyenna, and I already feel like learning to become fluent in sign language to be more involved in the deaf community. You've successfully melted the heart of a guy halfway around the world in Australia and I'm keen to follow your progress! I've been a follower of yours for only two days since I first saw one of your videos and I'm already awestruck, I hope you achieve everything you set out to, and I'm sure you will ☺
I stumbled onto your page by accident, and I ended up watching a lot of your videos. I just had to tell you that I sincerely believe you are an amazing human being. You not only overcame your deafness but you have absolutely flourished in spite of it, and I see no trace whatsoever that it has diminished your life and your enjoyment of it in any way. Your stunning beauty and warm personality have given you a pretty large following, and you have used your platform to make a real difference. You've done videos to encourage young women and other people with various issues. You've strongly promotes sign language and encouraged more people to learn it. You've been EXTREMELY open and honest in answering almost every single question everyone has asked you about life as a deaf person. By doing all these things I believe you have been the perfect (unofficial) ambassador for deaf people all over the wold and helped the rest of us see how similar we all are. I've also had a lot of laughs along the way and been a little shocked a few times- all in a good way. All this, and as I recall you are around 18-19 years old! Few people your age are as grounded, altruistic, mature, and genuine as you are. And all the while you still manage to be a fun young lady who can be silly and a typical young lady too. I hope you get to see this post and I wish you all the best life has to offer you today and for the rest of your life. You deserve it !
💕Hello-Hello lovely girly, that's so true u talked about deaf n very sadly they r so wronged thanks for sharing n support all the deaf in the world its so touched in my heart...ur cat is cutest....have a great day...xoxox💕
You should keep the background noise
Well. it's the old talk - in the some old video, in the comment, we've decided that if we're watching the deaf person's video (to, of cause, understand the deaf life more fullest), we should some times watch video without any sounds coz Cheyenna don't hear any sound, so when we don't hear it too, we can understand her perception more quite.
Yet we still hear our background noises...
And I loved the noises from her))
I like to see the POV of deaf people when the video is silent
I'm hearing person and your videos help me a lot, I found them 2 days ago and i already watch almost every single one. My mother language is Spanish and see how you move your lips and I can understand help me to feel confident in my English, also you inspire me to learn ASL. I really like this video, because when you express yourself fast and total passionate I understand what you said about hear the voice in your head, I really feel your voice in my head and I don't need read the subtitule to understand. Thanks you so so much 💓
love this.
My only thing i want to ask is on the cochlear part.
i can understand your answer based on someone who has never had hearing.
But as someone who lost the majority of their hearing after 24 years of having full hearing, whilst I am not having the cochlear, it has been something that has crossed my mind before. Not because i feel there is something wrong with being deaf because i don't think that at all. But for some people in my situation having grown up hearing, hearing family, job, friends... that's how you know life. That is how your life is kinda of based on is having the ability to hear. and whilst it doesn't make you a hearing person again, you would still obviously be deaf but for some people, would you not see that as understandable for those that want to be able to continue life the way they know it but still get involved with deaf community and learn sign language etc. It just means that they don't lose life the way they know but can also learn a new way of life at the same time. does that make sense? in my head it does.
basically, what i am saying is i can understand deaf people thinking the cochlear as a bad thing is they are born deaf and that is what they know (i guess.. though i still believe that it is not someone necessarily wanting to change being deaf, it is a tool to making life situations easier as we do live in a world that was made for the hearing), but someone who loses their hearing after years of having it, it doesn't mean they think being deaf is bad or anything, but it can be extremely difficult to change your whole life and culture completely because you may not be able to do a job anymore or you can but it takes time to be able to re-learn it, or learn sign.... how can you communicate in the mean time... lots of reasons why people choose to have a cochlear, but it doesn't mean they think being deaf is a bad thing. just wanted to start a conversation topic, it's not having a go. just voicing another point of voice coming from someone who is deaf but wasn't born deaf and has considered the cochlear at times though i am not getting one for many reasons i decided but still don't believe it is bad unless you chose to have one for the wrong reasons obviously. xxx
Another point to consider is a cochlear sounds much different than "normal" hearing. Sometimes it can be frustrating for people who lost their hearing to get a choclear which sounds different and requires a lot of work (programming, it's electronics permanently installed in your head, getting used to new ways things sound, etc) becoming deaf would be extremely difficult so it's not unsurprising that a hearing-become-deaf person would consider it. There's just also drawbacks to cochlears too. I'd say that the people who are supportive of cochlears are usually hearing people (want someone else to have hearing ability) while deaf people are *accepting* of them not having that ability and explain that being deaf doesn't make a person less. Hope this makes sense. I'm hearing but bro is hard of hearing and grew up around the controversial issue when cochlears became popular.
goldfishcrayon I completely agree with you. It can be very different. I do know someone who got a cochlear at a young age after being born deaf and they're glad their mum
Got them it though I do think they should have a decision.
And yeh 90% of the time the people that are more pro or at least more on the I would consider a cochlear are hearing turned deaf as they know life as hearing.
I neither for or against them, I think it is different for each person whether it is right for them and therefore open minded about them. I don't believe getting them because you believe being deaf is a bad thing and needs to be fixed though. It has to be the right reasons :)
The deaf community has a huge fear of that change. There are deaf parents who vehemently refuse to give their deaf infants the implant. They won't admit it but hearing opens a new world, a different world, and it will cause changes. Remember, every person in life fears something that is different from their regular world.
The Coffee Nut I wouldn't say that that is their main reason. Being deaf opens up a whole new world too (although challenging). There are many reasons why people choose not to do cochlears, as hearing or deaf parents. Being deaf is something I think people choose to be proud of and want their children to as well despite not being able to be hearing in the hearing world. (I'm not saying having cochlears doesn't give them opportunities but they're different, not necessarily better/worse)
It seems like deaf parents don't want their kids to be like the "other" ones. You know, the hearing kind.
i love you and your videos please keep making these, these help me a lot to learn ASL and i reeeeally enjoy watching your videos! best wishes from Germany!
very informative video, thank you. it really does break my heart that people can be so stupid and mindless to others. as if being different EVER made anybody better or worse than anybody else. only stupidity makes you less than everybody else, and you do that to yourself when you think youre better or higher than others. i find many people who are bullied and abused are often the ones with the most sensitivity on how they treat others, because they see what NOT to be like. there is always a saying that goes around (mostly in creative circles, cause idiots are just too stupid), that "when people are given limitations is where they show the most creativity". i learned this from video games that have some stupid rules/ limitations, but creative people figure out how to break those barriers this 'world' has, and do crazy stuff anyways IN SPITE of those limitations (ie : minecraft, space engineers, etc). ive found the deaf community to also be these types of people. born-with or lost later, people without 'normal hearing' are often MORE creative, MORE sensitive to others, MORE passionate, MORE expressive, and overall better as people because they see all these others taking for granted everything they have, and show what Not to be like. theres never a 'good reason to hate' unless you hate evil. evil is just evil, theres no excuse. anybody can be ignorant... it just means you 'dont know yet'. you can ALWAYS fix that while youre still alive. but you just cant fix stupid...
im sorry cheyenna. not because 'youre deaf' (like you and many others said, theres NOTHING wrong with it or You), not because its a challenge in life (cause ive noticed deaf people, among others, are some of the strongest people ive known), but because you get so many stupid people trying to suck the joy out of your life because they are just horrible. not everybody is, i know, but so many are. thank you for answering the questions worth answering. thank you for NOT even mentioning the stupid ones. thank you for being awesome :) and helping others learn and crush ignorance. ive learned and grown, and now i dont know what i would do without ASL and the things ive learned about the deaf community. thanks.
Thank you for sharing with us :) love this video b!
I am hearing. I learnt ASL in America. I was 26 years of my life a special education teacher. I had to learn asl because deaf kids were coming...and I always loved sign-language. To tell you the truth, I think it should be thaught in school. Elementary and hi-school. It is such a beautiful language. I now volunteer with a foundation of deaf-mute/blind peoplein Israe since 7 yearsl. I also learnt French sign language. I think you are right in everything you sign. David Barban
To this day, I still don't know why I was denied ASL (like, it happened when I was in the living room and a deaf woman came to our house to offer to teach ASL- she was going door to door offering classes) and the like. There was a deaf school and I was diagnosed at 11, but I didn't get those opportunities. I've asked but no real answer lol
Rikki Poynter could you sign up for cut? Love to see you show up in their channel and have fun
Rikki Poynter Rikki! hi!! Didn’t expect you on this channel 😂
Some parents expect their kids to cope in a hearing world and completely ignore the deaf world. It is absolutely heartbreaking :-(
Wow. I didn't know that there are parents doing that.
This totally took me by surprise. Why would parents do that? I mean if there is a community of good people like you, why would parents want to deny you that?
Your kid will just be more alone and will feel more left out I think because it's so different than the others that it's kinda forced to hang out with. I mean it gives you the opportunity to make more friend and dont feel so alone and different, right?
back in the day we used to say ASL to find out more about another person online. age/sex/loc. this was when we used irc and text based communications, long before this fangled social media and youtube stuff. just my 2 cents
awesome vid cheyenna👍
much love from your filipino fans❤
I could not understand the sign language but I am very much inspired of what you are doing, it is encouraging, creative and all the best.
Thanks .... keep making more videos..... i like to watch your videos....
Internet hornball crap aside you are a gorgeous young lady. So very expressive while signing I had a hard time being drawn to the face expressions, trying very hard to read the ASL (I'm a noob), and reading the captions.
While I have a very limited ASL from what my hearing impaired cousin taught me almost 25 years ago when we were kids I'm trying to relearn it because my 10 y/o son is learning it from the girl he has a crush on. As a dad you have to be proud your son has the balls to try to curse you but the surprise/dumbfound look on his on his face when he done it and didn't think I knew what he was saying took the cake.
As for the implants and as a parent I can understand why some would want their children to have it. For me it would never be to deny them from the deaf community but to give my child every opportunity they can have (most parents wish for their children). My son has ADD (inherited it from me) and I encourage him to embrace everything about what makes him different and always work to better himself. No I'm not trying to say the CI make anybody better or worse. After seeing such a huge divide in the deaf community over them I do think now instead of just going for them I would wait (if I ever have a deaf child) to let them be old enough to choose for them self.
Great video 😍
Познавательно и эмоционально. / It was interesting and emotional. Grazie!
Thank You for giving us a peek into the minds of deaf people. I find this very interesting and would love to know sign language 😬 Keep up the good work! 😊
Btw you are very pretty! 😌
I love your videos!! You are awesome!
god that makes me sad. I AM SO LUCKY my whole family, parents, siblings etc..... are all hearing. thankfuly my parents raised me as a deaf child and never forced me to "speak" my parents and my older sister, all embraced learning ASL and loved adding the languge to our family. and my younger sister (hearing) learned ASL before she learned to speak verbal english. ( in fact studies show signed languages for both Deaf and Hearing babies stimulate the brain)
but no im so lucky my parents were happy and proud to have a Deaf daughter, and saw ASL as the best way for me to learn and interact in my world. when my moms co-worker asked why i never got implants my mom responed with
"she was perfect the way she was born"
also YES I STRUGGLE WITH SPELLING, no need to be reminded/ corrcted by 20 well meaning people.
(try learning to spell without being able to "sound out the words" ) only thing ive struggled with as far as learning english and grammar
Its so relaxing watching your videos
I love seeing your videos because I know some spanish sign language and some of the signs are really similar!
Im deaf and i have a cochlear implant cuz i can hear with it yeah ur right, why are u against cochlear implants tho? what if there's a car or trains honking and you cant hear them, and bam, what happens? you might get hit and possibly died. thats no good, but, im not forcing you. just saying. also love ur videos :D
especially the driving part which is so ironic as hearing people usually listen to music anyways.
I pull my earmould out partially when listening to music and I can't even hear my own horn over it!
+King Fifi which is weird because aren't you supposed to be concentrating on the road :)
King Fifi true!💯
i found the queen 👑💕
I just watch you videos because your beautiful and inspirational. 🥀❣
Thanks for s very interesting video very clearly put as well good Q/A :)
Awesome 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
You are RIGHT! !!!!!!
I'm a hearing person and I've never used my ears to drive a car. My ears are usually busy listening to audiobooks or music - but my windows are closed most of the time, so I never hear the world anyways.
That question confuses me so much - are they talking about car horns? Because, since I got my first car at the age of 16 - nineteen years ago - the only times I have ever honked my horn while driving is at the people holding signs who tell me to honk my horn. And whenever someone honks their horn at me - it's never anything important, NEVER, they're usually just a bad driver themselves and they're impatient or suffering from road rage.
Also you can use a robot voice app on you’re phone so it can speak for you. All you got to do is type what you wanna say and a femal or guy robot voice will come out which ever one you choose.
Great video!
You're so pretty 😘 I love your videos. I would really want to learn the sign language 😊
Love u 🐔...keep strong 🐥
I like your shirt!
your cat is really really cute!
For the driving part I'd actually argue that deaf people drive better cuz they ain't distracted by the noises.
Thanks for making these videos, I've never came across a deaf person UA-cam channel and it's interesting to see. As I'm living in another country I'm curious how German sign language is actually different from ASL, I always thought it was like a predefined system indedepdndetnt of the language.
Can you please make a video about health, fitness and working out?? You always look so fit in your instagram pictures I need to know your secret!!

I was born with disabilitys and understand were u are coming from so for that I love the death and hearing communitys and I love all asl videos from a lot of people I'm a fan of yours from Louisiana my name is beth nice to meet you Cheyenna clear brook
i'm not deaf but i have interest in ASL from watching the movie Switched At Birth. i learned a lot but could only pickup very little. I cant even do numbers. I only have a handful of friends that are deaf but literally only one can do sign language (the rest are more verbal and not 100% deaf so they read lips) but since i'm from Indonesia, ASL isn't what we use. But regardless, sign language is very hard to learn and i would love to be more educated about it and hopefully be able to fully communicate with deaf people in sign language. i mean, i'd be pretty proud if i could.
also check out the "light balance dancers" here on youtube. super cool if ur deaf like me. literaly music for the deaf (whole signing of songs and ASL versions never did it for me, kinda thought it was dumb to be honest)
Я влюблен..
The subtitles work...I actually find that really cool. No clue why that's so interesting to me lol
A thought popped into my mind and i hope its not insensitive. When you sign, you also mouth the corresponding words for what you say some of the time. Which means you have that understanding of how it is said. Is this from watching others and so you can replicate and how it is said?
Awesome video
Do you know Christine Sun Kim? She's a deaf artist doing and awesome job exploring sound!
That a cool shirt btw
Cheyenna I truly truly love your videos but one thing maybe put some background music I really enjoy your videos and I'm still learning sign language (my mother recently lost her hearing surprisingly) and it's great to practice with your videos but for me and probably the other hearing viewers some background noise would be great
Hey Chayenna I'm curious if you run into the problem of not knowing how to sign but knowing how to write or vice versa.
My friend is deaf, and has a cochlear implant. She was taught ASL in elementary school, but doesn't remember much now and so doesn't speak it. She gets frustrated sometimes because she feels shut out from the Deaf community due to her implant and lack of ASL :/
Is it wrong that I’d like to hear you speak, and I haven’t done any research can you feel the vibrations when you vibrate your vocal chords
i wanted to ask, would u like that ur kids will be able to hear? or u want them to be deaf?
Как же мне хочется услышать её голос!
Just read this: ‘A Quiet Place': John Krasinski Says Cast Learned Sign Language for Silent Thriller
How come you haven't uploaded a video? Just curious by the way you are awesome.
I just subscribed ! :-)
Does Cheyenna party a lot??
I dont know
do people at your school know asl then? How do you usually converse with hearing people?
i like the blonde version
Your waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too beautiful ! *.*
I love you i know a little bit of sign language
🤟 ☝️
Cheyenne you are so incredibly gorgeous wow
If I was born hard of hearing and raised in a mainstream society, does that mean I am part of the Deaf community? I've always wondered, because I feel like I don't belong in either the Deaf or hearing world, but rather I'm stuck in the middle...
I think there is room for a video for people who don't want sign etc, and the issues of hearing going deaf, is not understood at all by the cultural deaf. Nor being HoH is. I wouldn't ask a born deaf person how to manage MY deafness because it is chalk and cheese and we don't want the same things, or had the same experience we don't think to adopt your approach works for us either... instead of accepting these things it provokes confrontations with representatives of the deaf culture accusing others of undermining them because they WANT CI's, WANT oral education etc, so mutual respect is suffering as each area fights own corner over silly things like role models etc and the medical labels and cure research, which HoH endorse and the deaf do not as you escribe you feel it undermines what you think and belive is true for you. As I Observed more sign use poses problems with you on other things like speech etc... More sign, less talk.. The deaf world may not revolve around speech but, the wider world does, so you need to understand how to cross and manage that divide. .Different people have different views, it doesn't mean they are personal attacks on others who don't share those views. Sign language is not really making for better access for the deaf, it's relative, you have to examine their social structure first to se if they can manage to work between two of them. We do live in a HEARING world not a deaf one, so practical consideration can override a 'preference' to sign, few deaf are actually bilingual, or want to be, and of course true integration between non and signing deaf/HoH has problems, it is also true to say there are deaf people who wpould not accept equality with a nargepole unless on own terms. We look to the psoitives without due regard to real issues people face, one size won't fit all.. If CI's are a 'tool' isn't sign? or lip-reading? Totally depends on WHEN you lost all useful hearing.
cheyenna have you watched the anime. koe no katachi ?
👌👌👌💖😇
the first 7 sec is cool and catchy, u could use them in some sort of intro (if u make some in the future)
You should have a text box somewhere so people who don’t understand sign launguage can see what you’re saying. I came here from cast. I wish you the best
Gatoo ❤
Would you please consider like once a week or once a month or something but doing a video teaching asl?
Hey. I'm born deaf. I know u against cochlear implant but I do have one because all my family is hearing. I do sign ASL also I am learning other language. I dont have interpreter in 10th-12th grade but I graduated with B+ honor roll. Cheyenne, I wonder which college do u go to?
Chase Webb I do have respect for people who have cochlear implants and I just disliked the idea for parents who forced their own children getting a surgery without their permission when they can’t give a mind of feeling. I’m currently attending Gallaudet University
@@CheyennaClearbrook Oh that true too. So thanks!
I love youre channel but its hard to try and tell what you are singing with youre hands.. Can you give us a basic video of sign leageuge(sorry im nog from america or angland) :) but i hope you understand me. Would love to learn it
www.handspeak.com/word/ and www.signingsavvy.com/browse-letter are great places to start!
There are also different types of sign language depending on where you are from. Those are ASL (American Sign Language) websites if you're interested.
can i hug u? i mean, not in a creepy way or something.. u have a very huggable aura about u i feel
How old are you ?
Hi. I would like to know how is your relationship with music.
i speak just for my self when I say, music doesnt mean anything to me, never been interested, I was born totally deaf, and never thought aboiut it much.
I explaned it to a muscian friend of mine "im no more interested in music, then you, a muscian are interested in photograhy"
music guy, photograhy is not his thing
deaf girl, music not my thing. NOT SAD FOR ME OR HIM
hope that helps a little
Красивая
Who else watches these videos just to stare at her beautiful face? Am I the only one?
A very unique experience of a video with 0 sound but do much information
Очень ты Красивая
I enjoy your content. But I am a learning student of asl. It would be amazing if you could give subtitles to what your saying. I understand if that's not what you want to do, or where you want to focus your energy.
Kelso Montoya all of my videos already have subtitles on
'bout the implants. Imagine you can get some super-power. Like.... seeing thru walls. Will you be against it? Or understanding all languages in the world, is it bad? So cochlear implants just add you another sensor, like the extra feature! Also you can always turn it off! Hearing people can't do it! Like you have fully controlled extra-ability! :D
PS. As a hearing person, I really want to have some extras, like magnetic navigation (it's will be available soon), or night-vision. )
+1
It's not even a replacement for natural hearing, much less provide any super power. it's also a gruesome surgery with a lifelong risk of adverse effects.
As(I) a hearing person : short hand (gestures elate) and frighten me.
How can deaf people play fortnite without sound?
Subtitles and vision
I know three languages I think I know what my fourth one will be “SIGN LANGUAGE”.
Hello
I'm blind but I enjoyed your video thanks
Now that's some pure shit
It must have be a sad time for you in high school .right?
Much cutter with blonde hair
Привет интересно где живёшь?
Didn't you shave your head? Is that a wig?
I want to date with you I’m deaf and 23 years old guy
The only sign language I know are gang signs 😂
This may appear to be a stupid question, but I notice you and many other signers on UA-cam crowd the camera and cut off most of your signing space. Not only does that cut off a lot of your signing, it feels like you are standing on my shoes. Why so close?

I'm glad you didn't go bald.
I am about 85dbs deaf in both ears and I would like to have a cochlear implant in the future one day. But only when my hearing goes down to 90dbs. I never learned sign language and always stuck to hearing aids and lip-reading and speech therapy all my life. I see the cochlear implant as a tool too. I don't expect to become a hearing person once I have it. Because once I have it, I will still struggle to understand what people are saying even tho I can hear them but it's not so clear, like even with good hearing aids, peoples sentences are just noise to my brain. I always say "what" cause I always have to have the person to repeat it again as second time I hear it, it's much more clear for some reason but when I say "what" people assume i'm being rude and they don't realise i'm deaf as I have long hair to cover my hearing aids and then once I tell them i'm deaf, they say "never mind" which is just annoying and rude cause I want to know what they are saying and I miss out because of that. I would like my children to have one but of course I wouldn't force them as they'd be old enough to make their own decisions as it takes about 15-20 years to become deaf enough for a cochlear implant. And because i'm female, I can only pass the deafness down so my children are certainly going to be deaf. I'm also annoyed at the fact some severely deaf people cannot join the army. Many of my brothers wanted to join ever since they were a child and once they were old enough, they passed all their tests, and still was declined because they were deaf. There is not many jobs that deaf people can join in my opinion. I'd like a job that requires minimum communication and good and average pay too but there doesn't seem to be any.
I have some friends who are completely deaf and they have cochlear implants. They love it as they can take their devices off so they can't hear at all and just sign only and then join into the deaf world and they only wear it for their hearing family.
What is your condition? Like what condition do you have that made you deaf?
I have non-symptomatic bi-lateral mitochondrial deafness, apparently it's like my ears nerves or cells or whatever it is are dying quicker. Kinda like a ageing ear. Basically my ears are like a old mans hearing at 90 years old except the ageing process starts when i'm born and hearing gradually goes down over the years.

Did Deafness is heriditical?
I have a question..
What do deaf girls like ?
My relationship is crap but our parents wants us together.. so i want to do my best...
But we don't have similar interest or anything ....
I can hear , she is deaf
We rarely talk... so i want to do better
Pls help me out...
Iwizayk Aiman learn sig language too... Good Luck!
You have to have something in common... just take the time to find out or be willing to try new things she likes? Deaf people aren't all the same- everyone has unique interests whether they're hearing or not! Watch movies with closed captioning. Go on walks together. Ask her what she likes to do!
There are millions of answers to that question. You are better off talking to her to find out what she likes.
