+Swan best video in the world my little niece who is 4 yo now is the cuteist little girl ever when she tries to read my lips i be like smilling she has implants at age of 2 so now she can hear and says uncle and i love heeeeer
I would be careful about using individuals with disabilities as inspiration. By doing so, you are making the assumption that their disability hinders their ability to succeed at something. For instance, seeing an individual lip reading successfully when they are deaf and viewing them as inspiration makes it difficult for those who may not support oralism or who may be better at signing then using spoken word or reading lips.
And then there is also the fact that some individuals who are deaf and identify with the Deaf community usually don't view themselves as having a disability. Rather, they utilize a different language.
+Caroline Hernandez I was thinking about this as well. On one hand you want to commend someone for getting through what a lot of us view as a difficulty, but on the other you don't want to treat them as any different than people without disabilities. You don't want to put them in the place as an "other"...because I'm sure a lot of them just want to be seen as just as capable as anyone else.
I’m 13 and I learned sign language just for fun when I was 8. I found it very fascinating so I decided to learn it. It has opened my eyes to a whole new world and helped me to connect with others who can’t hear. I think that I have also helped others by knowing sign language. In my school one of the new kids were deaf and had a hard time finding friends and adjusting. I volunteered to help since I am the only person in the school that is able to do sign language. Now that person is one of my best friends and I have helped her to make multiple other friends. Its also good to do your research about deafness because it can help you to educate others on the topic and understand what people are going through.
I am currently learning sign language. It is absolutely amazing the difference between the hearing world and the deaf world. Deaf people are so alive and free when they communicate with you and share their tales with you. Those who only communicate with words are confined to a limited world. My mom and I go to a coffee shop every Saturday and talk with our friends in the deaf community. They are amazing people who are troops in a revolutionary revolution.
I'm 12 now and I decided to try learning it for fun a few months ago but I didn't manage and now I'm trying again so do you have any apps or things to help me learn it
She is deaf and she learned to speak from speech therapy, not reading people's lips. If that was the case then lip reading would probably be a lot easier for her and this movie wouldn't even be here. Also ASL is a completely different language to English with a different grammar, a different syntax and different word order.
I go through this everyday, wear hearing aids to try to understand people. Thank you for showing people this, because I go through this everyday of my life. :(
FortisConscius you're EXACTLY right. Neither is cochlear implant. It's hard keeping a job and going to school making sure you understand everything. Thing is.. no one cares. So you kind of just sit there, struggling.
Quite often even doctors don't get it. They just want to throw a 'cure' at you and hope that works because what else are they going to do for you? Teach you to lipread? Nothing to do with medicine! Sometimes you have to do something for yourself by yourself. Please don't suffer or struggle anymore - gather as many tools as you can. For example force yourself to lipread with a friend. Can be really funny to do and you can both enjoy this as a sort of game but you'll soon gain that tool in your armoury to deal with more situations more easily. :)
I don't know about that. I définiley think for sure America needs to get on their language systems I mean most countries teach 3+ languages when they're young not just in high school, but to make everyone learn specifically one language is a little much too. this is exactly what immigrants and foreign exchange people face though as well. America though définiley needs to modernize and learn more languages however
angelica vences but if everyone understood sign language there would be no language barrier at all for anyone irrespective of language. We'd all be able to speak the same language. Lol and im from the UK so I'm talking from a British perspective. Yeah. England is really behind on teaching languages. We start from age 11 if you're lucky
jami s we start in high-school and the classes suck I speak Spanish fluently but I learned from my dad and hearing my friends who've taken years of spanish but can't speak anything is sucky.and there will always be language barriers and walls honestly but I do agree that it's time English speakers need to start knocking them down
HUGE TIP TO ANYONE COMMUNICATING WITH SOMEONE DEAF, HARD OF HEARING, FOREIGN/LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE OR WHO HAS AUDIO PROCESSING DISORDER: Don't say "nevermind" if they ask you to repeat yourself. They hear that all the time and when you say that, you're implying that you value convenience more than you value communicating with them. They will also appreciate you using text message or writing on paper if what you are saying is complicated, or you have a stutter and reading your lips is hard (it's also handy to tell them ahead of time....sometimes deaf/HOH/APD/foreign people are afraid to ask you to repeat yourselves for fear of insulting you, too, so if you say "it's cool to ask" they'll love that)
I'm not deaf but I have a very very hard time listening and paying attention so sometimes I have to ask people to repeat things 3 or 4 times, sometimes even 5. they eventually get frustrated with me and change the subject, and it kinda makes me feel like what you were saying so I see what you mean
+ASHTON RC Yeah--I'm sorry people are like that to you. I only say "nevermind" if it's something semi-offensive that slips out or if I was about to ask a question and answered it myself. Do you tell people that saying "nevermind" bothers you?
+ASHTON RC I am not deaf and have the same problem. I can be in a room with a few people and someone can look right at me and speak too me and I just can't understand. And then when I ask again for what they said they just say nevermind and I makes me feel really bad that I couldn't understand and I hate it. Most of my friends will gladly repeat it and some of my family, but some people don't realize that I can't hear, and not just blowing them off.
Dee-Nice yeah, i ask them "could you just repeat it one more time? i'm sorry i couldn't hear you" and they just say "nah, it wasnt really that important" and it kinda hurts my feelings but i'd probably be frustrated if someone else did that. but i dont just change the subject, i say it clearer (and really loud, just for laughs)
At my school we have a whole class for sign language, and if we don't do it, we fail I already know sign language because I am hard of hearing, where it sounds like people are talking without there teeth, so I can read lips, and do sign language
I wish they did, most of us never get a chance to use foreign language skills taught in school. They should at least _offer_ sign language, an option everyone's actually gonna find useful sooner or later. Where there's people, there's deaf people.
I suffer from hearing loss due to a diving accident as a child. reading lips is crucial when deciphering certain tones and loudness of people's voices. this is why I prefer text over talking on the phone as I am afraid of having to ask the person repeat themselves. I can understand how she feels
Obviously she has some hearing since she says she prefers text over talking on the phone. The video has subtitles, so closed captions aren't necessary.
I was born with hearing loss. I can totally understand you. I often zone out because I get exhausted when I try to follow a conversation. It's really hard concentrating every minute of your day to hear people but in the end, you only get half of what people say. I don't dare to ask people to repeat themselves for the fifth time because it's embarrassing and I often make promises I don't even know about because whenever I don't get something I'll just answer "yeah" and hope it'll work
It honestly seems like it would make more sense for everyone to learn sign language as a secondary language. It would be great for times of emergencies, if you're supposed to be quiet and to communicate with those who don't hear/are mute. I'm going to learn it :)
I sign (because my sister and cousins are both death) and honestly it's so useful! I 100% agree with you that it should be taught in secondary school as it is an essential for so many people x
v W while I appreciate your enthusiasm, as a deaf person please don't use the word mute. It is incredibly insensitive to deaf people, especially for those of us who can't speak or choose not to. I can speak however I am trying to learn asl since I do have friends who sign
But in Norway we have to learn english as a second language, and also there are 300 sign languages in the world. It would be way easier if it was just one
I have anxiety and this triggered it so badly 😭 not just the moments the sound faded but when the loud noises started I almost started crying I’m hyper aware to noises and it causes extreme discomfort and I’m so sorry to anyone who’s deaf I now understand even a little more what you go through without sound in your lives, although for me I wish there was less noise to trigger my anxiety. But of course, I’m gonna be thankful that I have any sound at all. Sending love your way ✨✨
When I was a child and played Pokémon for hours without moving or hearing any other sounds, I would often have this kind of anxiety too. Strangely every sound, no matter how silent was too loud to handle for me and for some reason my hands looked very small. I usually screamed, which didn’t sounds any louder than everything else to me and after some time it luckily went away... I think like 5 to 20 minutes
My friend is deaf and she told me that's she's terrified of the silence of taking her hearing aids out. She knows four languages (3 fluently) and she is extremely good at reading lips. She can't hear music, but she still smiles and dances with us when we are at parties. She can't hear her voice, and barely other people's. One day I asked a woman who translated for her (we were at an event of 400 and she needed a translator up the front so she could understand) and I asked how to say "you're beautiful." she taught me, and I told my friend. In return she taught me heaps of words and hugged me and told me that not many people go out of their way to speak to her in sign, so she relies on hand gestures and lips and the small auditory function she does have thanks to her cochlear implant. She stops hiding her hearing aids now, because she got bullied for being deaf when she was little. And now I want to learn New Zealand sign language so I can talk to her when I see her next.
my mom is completely deaf too. she only speaks danish and english fluently, so she doesn't speak that much when we're out with friends. when we asked our lawyer if my mom, my dad and i could receive help to learn sign language, the government turned us down. luckily tho, last spring, the government let her get cochlear implants on both of her ears, at the same time. she was the first person in denmark, to receive the surgery on both ears at the same time (atleast that's what our doctor told us) now, she can hear about 80% of the sounds we can hear.
Mette Iversen That is sh** of the Danish government to not give you help to learn sign language. It is good that your mum(I live in Australia and that is how we spell mom) got cochlear implants though and got a significant amount of hearing.
it's really inspiring to see this video. many people don't understand how hard it is to read lips, until you have to. I may not be deaf, but I do have a great amount of interest in the deaf culture. I find it amazing how, regardless of the incapability to hear, people who are deaf always find a way to make the most out of what they have, and also take advantage of it. ASL is also a beautiful language. it really shows human emotion because when signing you need to express what you're saying in order for people to understand. Being normal, is not having perfect hearing or perfect anything. Being normal, is being your true self, no matter what people say
I never realized how much I depend on lip-reading until we began wearing masks, which makes it impossible impossible to read lips. Even though I have a Cochlear implant, I I know I'll never be able to hear like "normal" (whatever that is). I'm late-deafened so I know what hearing was. Now, after 60 years of total silence, I'm trying to pick up ASL. Better late than never.
I went deaf a few years ago and I’m really struggling with having to tell people more than 20 times a day to repeat themselves because I missed what they said. It’s really stressful. Thanks for making this film.
Kirsty, I saw your comment dated 3 years ago. I hope this will arrive at your notification page. I find it very helpful to use Notes app with microphone turned on. Or Google Transcribe and you watch what everyone is saying. Mind you, background noise can be a hassle if it's too loud. Good luck, and take care. Hugs.
The sounds getting fuzzy symbolize what it might sound like if you have a cochlear implant because when you have one it never quite interprets the sounds quite right. I think some say they feel like they aren't hearing and aren't deaf when they have one because of this. They hear but they don't truly hear the way we do. And still often need signing because it takes effort.
Because that's probably how deaf people feel in conversations. Scared. Surrounded by others, unable to communicate. Ever felt anxious or uneasy during an interaction? Multiply that by 10.
As a Deaf person i can vouch that this video is pretty accurate. You all said you turned up the volume when it went quieter so i'm assuming it was designed to teach hearing people what it was like to lip-read (of course - the title of the video confirms this). However, when the words went blurry and disappeared i was relying solely on their lips and struggled greatly without the context of one persons narrative. The video is very cleverly done and truly does represent the difficulties we go through every day in our lives. At the end when it suggests human connection being made - this is essentially the feeling you gain when you click with someone you just met on the train, laughing at jokes and exchanging touching stories that a little light inside you sparks up. That feeling of happiness and completeness simply because you've created a bond - It's very hard for us to experience this without feeling silly, misunderstood and incapable of understanding a conversation word for word or by context. Next time you hold a conversation with someone, just keep your mouth exposed and talk with a clear lip pattern and make this a habit - you could exchange a positive human connection and make a d/Deaf person's day a little bit special.
I couldn't turn up the volume and it went blurry I tried to read the lips, it's very hard. I can't turn it up cause I'm in a hotel room with my family and that's why I was looking up how to lip read. But seriously though, I have respect for you for this, I can hear and it must be hard for you.
Thank you for making this, as someone who is partially deaf this is really important to me and I'm glad hearing people can get a glimpse into our lives.
But if everyone all around the world decided on one or even a few sign languages that were similar then it wouldn't matter if you didn't know a language when you travel because lots of people would know sign and be able to talk anyway. Besides if everyone learned sign and most people never used it I bet the lives that came in contact with those that do would be so touched. Spontaneous conversation! I once worked at DQ and deaf customers decided what they wanted to eat before they came in and they wrote it down for me to read. No asking them if they wanted to upgrade their request for a deal or try something new on the menu because at the time I didn't know how to talk to them. If sign was taught in school I would have had at least 4 opportunities to use it since and that doesn't sound like much to me but it could mean a lot to someone else. Also I think it's important for us to know important signs in case of emergency, like if a deaf child is lost and trying to ask for help, how nice it would be to be able to communicate with them.
You genuinely read their lips. It made me feel bad to realize that it isn't as simple and that deaf people who might really be interested in our stories couldn't be able to understand
i had a best friend who was deaf, her name was dezerae. she had a twin sister who wasnt deaf, her name was kacy. we were neighbors. they were my best friends but i was closer to dezzi and from a very young age i learned sign language. then one day, me and my mom were on our way home. we saw their familys car smashed in a car accident. they all died. it was very sad. still to this day i know sign language and i will always remember them❤️ rip dezzi, kacy, and renee❤️
I am so sorry you lost your best friend and her family, but I'm so glad you got to form such a close connection to Dezerae from your knowledge of sign language.
Very eye-opening to the plight of lip readers. It really makes you appreciate how truly blessed you are to be able to hear and understand without such a high degree of effort.
This was amazing. I knew daily tasks could be hard for these people but this video showed me exactly what they go through. It showed me the world from their perspective. And I'm in awe. I have so much more respect for them now because they do so much and I love that they didn't just give up.
6 years ago, a deaf girl asked me where our printers were located on campus. I replied back can you read lips? At that time I thought it was a legitimate question. I remember her shaking her head no. I got up and showed her where they were. I didn't think anything of that moment other than what it must be like to be deaf and it would be cool for a deaf person to come up to me again in the future and I could reply back in sign language. I took 2 classes of ASL and I feel like a complete ass for asking her if she could read lips. I deeply cringe about it. Even 6 years later. Due to financial reasons I stopped taking classes and life got a hold of me. Now I am interested in ASL again and it's mostly because I met a deaf girl and we have a date setup with her on Friday. I hope it goes well and I should hopefully pick up ASL quickly.
Why is the question bad? I read lips. Some deaf people do. Totally legit question. Don't feel cringe. I don't sign, well I do but I ask people don't sign to me 'cause I prefer to accept the challenge! Bring it! :D
Have you heard of Deaf UA-camr Rikki Poynter? She's amazing and all of her videos are closed caption. I also notice you have some sort of anime logo---I am helping the deaf community by captioning anime reaction videos!
She's inspired me a lot and I began learning a little about lip reading and I'm moderately knowledgeable with sign language (American). I hope the future brings you more patient, knowledgeable people and a smoother time....
My stepdad is deaf, so I talk sign- language with him, and my mom is partially deaf, so since 10 years back I've tryed to learn more. Thanks for this video, now I can show my friends why they should be thankful that they can hear :)
I was one of the lucky schools.they taught us asl as the language requirement. And it is so great. Now i know sign language and it definitely helps me when i am at work.
there's a girl in my class that's almost completely even with her hearing aid on. she's a nice girl really but it's hard to have a conversation with her. She doesn't know sign language, or at least I think so since she's only ever tried talking to us which gets frustrating sometimes as we have a hard time understanding her and she has to repeat herself several times, I see all these people in the comments saying they should teach sign language in schools and I think they're right. She doesn't have many friends which sucks because she deserves way more.
I know that most schools around me teach sign language as one of the languages you can choose from. It's not required but it is an option. It might not be available everywhere but it is offered in some places.
I took ASL for 3 years at my high school. But it could also be her parents. I learned a lot about what it's like to be deaf in a hearing family or hearing in a deaf family.. And like if you're a deaf/hard of hearing kid, some parents don't want to embrace that & get a cochlear implant or hearing aid so their child can be JUST LIKE THEM. Other parents are okay with their child being deaf and learn sign language for them. Things like that. It could be that her parents don't want her to? Or maybe she wants to fit in & not be ruled out as different for being the only kid that signs? Just some thoughts.
I love that ending... because you know exactly what she's saying because it's obviously the only thing she could. And you understand it completely. Props to whomever edited this, well done honestly
As a deaf person with a cochlear implant it is a bit sad how true this is, I so grateful for being able to hear even if I can't hear like a normal person. Even if there are many people who are deaf/ hard of hearing like me, I just want people to know even not all of us know sign language too, some of us do, but not EVERY deaf person. I was never taught because I went to a normal English speaking school and there was no one to practice with. I also want to say something, people who think that a cochlear implant or hearing aid works perfectly for deaf/hard of hearing, that's false they don't work for everyone and those sounds you heard in the video, the strange sounds, as a cochlear implant user myself I do hear some of those noises sometimes so they are not perfected either.
No truer words have been spoken. I cannot even tell you how many times I have been let down by my hearing aids. The ones around me just do not understand...
What's most amazing is that she is speaking words she has never ever heard before and can only rely on muscle memory by seeing others speak to sound the words. Truly remarkable
Is it just me? I have always had a fear of not being able to communicate.. i had nightmares where i cant be heared even when im screaming, like no sound was coming out no matter how hard i tried. Also hearing deformed words and voices freaked me out.
When she says "Something clicks. Right then, I feel something extraordinary. Human connection." And whenever it goes silent and she says the phrase, it truly couldn't have been said better how you were to feel after understanding what one were to say.
The deaf girl (the one with the orange hair) was the only persons lips who I could read. The other people I only got bits and pieces. Even though I don't know any deaf person, I still know and are learning sign language for those who are deaf so I can communicate with them.
I believe it's because she can't hear, so she tries to make a perfect representation of the lip movements (and tongue) of a particular words; that's why it's easier to read her lips.
I think you got the main idea of the video, I can only read the lips of the deaf girl too because humans have so heavily relied on the sounds of speech which is why we don't really focus on the visual. kinda makes me think about it
you can only read her lips, because she understands what deaf people are like, she makes clear mouthsape of what she is saying, because she knows that you wouldnt be able to understand if she talked "normally...if you understand what i mean,its kinda hard to explain.
This is incredibly powerful. In the beginning I found myself turning my volume up & cupping my hand around my phone speaker to hear without even thinking about it! It's scary to discover how much I rely on my hearing & this video gave me chills. I was brought to tears by the ending because of how overwhelming it was trying to read everyones lips. I have found a brand new respect & appreciation for the deaf community. WOW.
i often think of which senses i am willing to lose. i admire anyone who lives with deprived senses, because it terrifies me so much..so grateful for what I have. I want sign language to be one of the national languages in every nation..can you imagine how much more inclusive and connected we'd all be? not just among us, but to ourselves too, because we prepare ourselves for potential sensory deprivation in our lives, and we use our mind-body connections to communicate. win-win
I would choose to lose my sense of pain (yes pain is a sense. There's actually more than the standard five). i think it's really hard to choose one out of the five. I'm an artist and i would be devastated if i lost the ability to see the beauty around me. I love music and conversation and hate the dark so I would hate to lose my vision. Can you imagine not being able to feel the water or sand between your toes at a beach? How about never being able to "touch" your newborn baby? Unable to feel the warmth of a blanket fresh out of the dryer on a winter day. That would really suck. I love cooking too so naturally tasting is a must. I know everyone hates not being able to smell while they are sick, imagine that being permanent. People who have to go through losing one of their senses have my sympathies. That definitely sucks.
Yo I totally feel where you are coming from. We'd even feel a closer connection to ourselves, bodies, and hands. Our hands would serve as more than one tool.
+MjaySenoj living without a sense of pain is actually incredibly difficult and dangerous, because you still get hurt and damage your body, but you can't feel it so you can't fix it and it just gets worse
+wickedest-witch yeah I understand that much and that it is dangerous and all, but i just can't part with anything else X( i'd rather risk some safety than part with the main five
when people talk to me, my first instinct is to look at their lips. i just feel like i listen better to people when i watch their mouth, it's like i hear them better. whereas when i look them in the eyes, i forget the shit they're saying and its like i cant hear them
Definitely "Now can you read my lips" HOWEVER Anna I tried to imagine hearing what you said it was and it can kind of fit... however this just proves all the more... how unreliable lip reading CAN be. :)
No, I wouldn't want to learn a language I probably will never use. It should be optional. It's stupid to be forced to learn something you may never use.
true, but then again, some schools have languages like French and German; what are the chances that one will use those. plus, considering all the useless topics taught (biology, chemistry, physics e.t.c) i would be extremely happy about learning sign language, something that could help me communicate with a disabled person.
I am so fortunate and blessed to have all of my abilities. The ability to walk, talk, hear, see, smell and taste. God bless all of the deaf people ❤️ This makes me not want to be ungrateful and complain about my life anymore.
woah this video is amazing. I now have a new found admiration for the deaf, i never realised how hard it was to just go through a day. Communication is so vital in our lives, and yet we fail to recognise how important it is
BINGO!!! That's what I've been trying to explain to hearing (noun not verb) people who are too f.. lazy to try to make it easier on me. Thank you for understanding that!!
DeafLori I have single sided hearing loss. As a result I can relatively normally in quiet spaces, but in loud ones, cannot make out individual sounds. One year, I learnt a bit of Auslan in a sign language class. It was illuminating (and great) how much easier it was for me to use a visual language, like being on a level playing field with others in communication and frankly I just felt more at ease and like I wasn’t working so hard. And I can hear relatively normally. I can only imagine how frustrating and tiring it is for people whose hearing is worse than mine.
I can lip read really well as I am deaf and this is so hard to understand what they are saying I can only really understand my friends or people I see a lot but it depends who you are and how you speak
Actually, it is more like a behavior study of people. Not only you are reading lips, but also you are reading into their body language, facial expressions and such. You get to know them well enough to see how they move their lips. There is always a pattern. That is why it is so hard to read lip of a stranger. To improve on that, maybe you could try to watch videos on silent... I mean a lot of videos. Good luck.
@@hannahlutz2382 I think our mums are the easiest to understand for good reason... "My second mother, my first wife; the angel of my infant life..." RL Stevenson.
I never called them disabled I just said that I am thankful to be able bodied. I'm allowed to have my religion, so maybe you're the one who should fuck off
I have a colleague who is deaf. Great guy! He sent me this movie. But even being aware of how to communicate with him, this movie is still a good reminder on how he must feel, every day...
@ people complaining about the girl's voice. it's because deaf people can't talk properly, most of them don't even talk at all. Imagine having to explain talking and making different sounds to form words to someone who has never heard a sound in its life.. She speaks really well in my opinion.
I work at a local McDonald's and I was on register when this man with a hearing impairment came in. I treated him with as much respect as I would treat anyone else who came in and I was definitely sure that I spoke clearly enough for him to understand me. I think he did the same for me as well. (:
I know you didn't know this, but it's actually extremely insulting to call a Deaf person hearing impaired, because they aren't broken, but that's what that label implies. They hate it so much that they don't even have a sign for it. And it's really nice that you both made an effort for each other, because a little really does go a long way when it comes to kindness and understanding.
not trying to be mean or rude but how is that insulting? isn't that calling the situation what it is? I'm in a wheelchair and it wouldn't be insulting to me to have someone say she is in a wheelchair or her legs don't work or even she is disabled - although the word disabled a lot of people don't like that word. I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from with saying its insulting to say someone is hearing impaired?
But he wasn't deaf. He was literally hearing impaired. Impaired doesn't imply that an individual is broken, or that an individual needs 'fixing'. All it implies is that said individual is hearing impaired- nothing more, nothing less. If he HAD been fully deaf, I would have said he was deaf. But I do have to say, my town has a rather large deaf community, and I've never come across one who sees the term "hearing impaired" as an insult.
my eyes welled up with tears when the voice started fading, such a beautiful video with such a strong moral. Please be patient and respect everyone, embrace diversity. rachel is so so strong, downright respect, love and support to her and all.

How weird, I was just thinking of u then I saw your comment
+Sabrina no pun intended
Love your videos 🙂
This video was fantastic. I have so much admiration for deaf people, who endure the difficulties of communication on a daily basis.
+Swan best video in the world my little niece who is 4 yo now is the cuteist little girl ever when she tries to read my lips i be like smilling she has implants at age of 2 so now she can hear and says uncle and i love heeeeer

I was panicking when the sound slowly fades away and so do the subtitles, I tried to read lips but it was too fast, i was scared honestly idk why
Bree Jones me too
Bree Jones me too. same feeling.
same.
I felt really stressed watching this video and I started to cry, I just can’t imagine how difficult this is to deaf people, really eye opening

Why did I start turning up the sound when the first dude's audio started going softer? XD
Exactly..I was twisting my speakers wire back and front thinking it was having some problem

Here at 666
I’m 13 and I learned sign language just for fun when I was 8. I found it very fascinating so I decided to learn it. It has opened my eyes to a whole new world and helped me to connect with others who can’t hear. I think that I have also helped others by knowing sign language. In my school one of the new kids were deaf and had a hard time finding friends and adjusting. I volunteered to help since I am the only person in the school that is able to do sign language. Now that person is one of my best friends and I have helped her to make multiple other friends. Its also good to do your research about deafness because it can help you to educate others on the topic and understand what people are going through.
You are a wonderful person.
I am currently learning sign language. It is absolutely amazing the difference between the hearing world and the deaf world. Deaf people are so alive and free when they communicate with you and share their tales with you. Those who only communicate with words are confined to a limited world.
My mom and I go to a coffee shop every Saturday and talk with our friends in the deaf community. They are amazing people who are troops in a revolutionary revolution.
#NUTELLAISLIFE That's absolutely incredible, you're an incredible human being.
I'm 12 now and I decided to try learning it for fun a few months ago but I didn't manage and now I'm trying again so do you have any apps or things to help me learn it
That is a really nice thing to do. Thank you :)
omg the sound effect and text disappearing effect is so cool
Why did this make me feel scared/anxious?
Because the sounds/music are nervewracking, honestly.. I guess they were trying to get us out of our comfort zone!
Because it took away something familiar and exposed you to uncertainty.
it's was different. I had the same feedings too when I watched this. it's ok to have those feelings
Same
samee
every time the words faded out i got extreme anxiety and later i started crying wtf is going on
ITS SO CREEPY I STARTED CRYING
I'm so confused an creeped out like NG r u ok
This gave me anxiety and stress omg
ARMY?
You guys seriously cried?
This made me extremely thankful that I can hear.
what the heck is going on with your last name
Oh idk maybe ask my parents? Lmao wth
Oh you like Jacob sartodidhdb idk?
You have Jacob as your cover and profile pic sooo.....
+Taylor Sartorius *I was goinf to like your comment but then i read your profile*
When the words and sound go away you panic... When you can't understand it brought me to the point of almost crying. 😞
same I almost started crying
Same here! ;-;
is that your actual name
Yupp
She'Myia Malone Same. This video made me appreciate hearing so much more....
people she is deaf and she learned to speak by reading peoples lips that alone is an extraordinary achievement
larin barzan Lol no
That's not how Deaf people learn to speak
Sicky enlighten us then
LiterallyIsHere It's a long 1 on 1 process with a teacher but I'm not enitrely sure what it involves
She is deaf and she learned to speak from speech therapy, not reading people's lips. If that was the case then lip reading would probably be a lot easier for her and this movie wouldn't even be here. Also ASL is a completely different language to English with a different grammar, a different syntax and different word order.
Zoe MT okay thank you
The end gave me chills, I could read her lips saying "I'm already tracer."
underated comment
Im dying lmao
I cried, thinking of how *I* wanted to be tracer. But silently, she reminded me. “I’m already tracer.”
@@eryx5177 oh. Heh. I get it.
Captain Qwaz Caz legendary lip reader right here!!!
I go through this everyday, wear hearing aids to try to understand people. Thank you for showing people this, because I go through this everyday of my life. :(
Hearing aids really aren't the magic wand people think they are, are they? :D
FortisConscius you're EXACTLY right. Neither is cochlear implant. It's hard keeping a job and going to school making sure you understand everything. Thing is.. no one cares. So you kind of just sit there, struggling.
Quite often even doctors don't get it. They just want to throw a 'cure' at you and hope that works because what else are they going to do for you? Teach you to lipread? Nothing to do with medicine! Sometimes you have to do something for yourself by yourself. Please don't suffer or struggle anymore - gather as many tools as you can. For example force yourself to lipread with a friend. Can be really funny to do and you can both enjoy this as a sort of game but you'll soon gain that tool in your armoury to deal with more situations more easily. :)
LOCO JAZZ be strong!!
Lei Runnels I am feeling exaaactlyyy what you feel. We need to stay strong and stay different beautifully!
wow. this is so powerful.
This is why i think all primary schools should teach sign language.
agreeeeddddd
I don't know about that. I définiley think for sure America needs to get on their language systems I mean most countries teach 3+ languages when they're young not just in high school, but to make everyone learn specifically one language is a little much too. this is exactly what immigrants and foreign exchange people face though as well. America though définiley needs to modernize and learn more languages however
angelica vences but if everyone understood sign language there would be no language barrier at all for anyone irrespective of language. We'd all be able to speak the same language.
Lol and im from the UK so I'm talking from a British perspective. Yeah. England is really behind on teaching languages. We start from age 11 if you're lucky
jami s we start in high-school and the classes suck I speak Spanish fluently but I learned from my dad and hearing my friends who've taken years of spanish but can't speak anything is sucky.and there will always be language barriers and walls honestly but I do agree that it's time English speakers need to start knocking them down
+jami s you know there's sign languages for different languages right? it's not universally understood.
HUGE TIP TO ANYONE COMMUNICATING WITH SOMEONE DEAF, HARD OF HEARING, FOREIGN/LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE OR WHO HAS AUDIO PROCESSING DISORDER:
Don't say "nevermind" if they ask you to repeat yourself. They hear that all the time and when you say that, you're implying that you value convenience more than you value communicating with them. They will also appreciate you using text message or writing on paper if what you are saying is complicated, or you have a stutter and reading your lips is hard (it's also handy to tell them ahead of time....sometimes deaf/HOH/APD/foreign people are afraid to ask you to repeat yourselves for fear of insulting you, too, so if you say "it's cool to ask" they'll love that)
I'm not deaf but I have a very very hard time listening and paying attention so sometimes I have to ask people to repeat things 3 or 4 times, sometimes even 5. they eventually get frustrated with me and change the subject, and it kinda makes me feel like what you were saying so I see what you mean
+ASHTON RC Yeah--I'm sorry people are like that to you. I only say "nevermind" if it's something semi-offensive that slips out or if I was about to ask a question and answered it myself. Do you tell people that saying "nevermind" bothers you?
+ASHTON RC Or not "'nevermind", but when changing the subject I mean
+ASHTON RC I am not deaf and have the same problem. I can be in a room with a few people and someone can look right at me and speak too me and I just can't understand. And then when I ask again for what they said they just say nevermind and I makes me feel really bad that I couldn't understand and I hate it. Most of my friends will gladly repeat it and some of my family, but some people don't realize that I can't hear, and not just blowing them off.
Dee-Nice yeah, i ask them "could you just repeat it one more time? i'm sorry i couldn't hear you" and they just say "nah, it wasnt really that important" and it kinda hurts my feelings but i'd probably be frustrated if someone else did that. but i dont just change the subject, i say it clearer (and really loud, just for laughs)
I think every school should offer a sign language class
Mar yes,it will give deaf people a new life
i want our uni to offer a whole course!
It should be required imo
At my school we have a whole class for sign language, and if we don't do it, we fail
I already know sign language because I am hard of hearing, where it sounds like people are talking without there teeth, so I can read lips, and do sign language
I wish they did, most of us never get a chance to use foreign language skills taught in school. They should at least _offer_ sign language, an option everyone's actually gonna find useful sooner or later. Where there's people, there's deaf people.
No joke this video scared the shit out of me

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one

ikr when the girl with the white background started talking
She speaks so accurately for being deaf for most of her life. Amazing
But it's crazy because she can't hear herself speak. Just thinking of that makes me feel so grateful.
+Exhalant
+Olivia Andrade
She has a hearing device of some kind--she can hear a little :) Very rarely are the deaf 100% deaf
she probably could hear but then she went deaf, so that's maybe why she can speak so accurately.
+Alucard Vlad Țepeș or she just had a lot of speech therapy when she was growing up.
she had a hearing aide
*me first three seconds*
Oh, I guess they'll just mute the audio later. Challenge accepted!
*me halfway through the video*
Scarred for life...
the feels lol
yeah
Yeah lmao
what the hell, my phone did something
omg yeaaaah it was so scary maaan😂😂😂
We saw this in my ASL class because my teachers deaf, and it was so eye opening
I suffer from hearing loss due to a diving accident as a child. reading lips is crucial when deciphering certain tones and loudness of people's voices. this is why I prefer text over talking on the phone as I am afraid of having to ask the person repeat themselves. I can understand how she feels
So did u just watch the vid in CC?
Obviously she has some hearing since she says she prefers text over talking on the phone.
The video has subtitles, so closed captions aren't necessary.
I was born with hearing loss. I can totally understand you. I often zone out because I get exhausted when I try to follow a conversation. It's really hard concentrating every minute of your day to hear people but in the end, you only get half of what people say. I don't dare to ask people to repeat themselves for the fifth time because it's embarrassing and I often make promises I don't even know about because whenever I don't get something I'll just answer "yeah" and hope it'll work
It honestly seems like it would make more sense for everyone to learn sign language as a secondary language. It would be great for times of emergencies, if you're supposed to be quiet and to communicate with those who don't hear/are mute. I'm going to learn it :)
I sign (because my sister and cousins are both death) and honestly it's so useful! I 100% agree with you that it should be taught in secondary school as it is an essential for so many people x
I agree with you
v W while I appreciate your enthusiasm, as a deaf person please don't use the word mute. It is incredibly insensitive to deaf people, especially for those of us who can't speak or choose not to. I can speak however I am trying to learn asl since I do have friends who sign
Mute = Doesn't speak. It's a legit word. I used to carry a notepad, now I speak. I was mute, now I'm speaking.
But in Norway we have to learn english as a second language, and also there are 300 sign languages in the world. It would be way easier if it was just one
This video.....really scares me for some reason.........
it's definitely the noises (sound effects)
i know right i think its the music
Same OMG
Ahhhhh same!!!!!!!! Soo scary
omg same😭
I have anxiety and this triggered it so badly 😭 not just the moments the sound faded but when the loud noises started I almost started crying I’m hyper aware to noises and it causes extreme discomfort and I’m so sorry to anyone who’s deaf I now understand even a little more what you go through without sound in your lives, although for me I wish there was less noise to trigger my anxiety. But of course, I’m gonna be thankful that I have any sound at all. Sending love your way ✨✨
When I was a child and played Pokémon for hours without moving or hearing any other sounds, I would often have this kind of anxiety too.
Strangely every sound, no matter how silent was too loud to handle for me and for some reason my hands looked very small.
I usually screamed, which didn’t sounds any louder than everything else to me and after some time it luckily went away... I think like 5 to 20 minutes
My friend is deaf and she told me that's she's terrified of the silence of taking her hearing aids out. She knows four languages (3 fluently) and she is extremely good at reading lips. She can't hear music, but she still smiles and dances with us when we are at parties. She can't hear her voice, and barely other people's. One day I asked a woman who translated for her (we were at an event of 400 and she needed a translator up the front so she could understand) and I asked how to say "you're beautiful." she taught me, and I told my friend. In return she taught me heaps of words and hugged me and told me that not many people go out of their way to speak to her in sign, so she relies on hand gestures and lips and the small auditory function she does have thanks to her cochlear implant. She stops hiding her hearing aids now, because she got bullied for being deaf when she was little. And now I want to learn New Zealand sign language so I can talk to her when I see her next.
Nice story. Keep on being awesome Jayme ! ;)
Yep...Also my friend is deaf :)
my mom is completely deaf too. she only speaks danish and english fluently, so she doesn't speak that much when we're out with friends. when we asked our lawyer if my mom, my dad and i could receive help to learn sign language, the government turned us down.
luckily tho, last spring, the government let her get cochlear implants on both of her ears, at the same time. she was the first person in denmark, to receive the surgery on both ears at the same time (atleast that's what our doctor told us) now, she can hear about 80% of the sounds we can hear.
Mette Iversen That is sh** of the Danish government to not give you help to learn sign language. It is good that your mum(I live in Australia and that is how we spell mom) got cochlear implants though and got a significant amount of hearing.
Ohh... I actually thought that sign language is international, but turns out it`s not.
lmao i accidentally had the video on mute and i didnt think of anything of it bc i thought that was the point of the video... the sounds are scary
me 2
Holy shit Noiz and Aoba are my otp
HHAHAHAHAHA DRAMATICAL MURDER
glad I'm not the only one 😂😂
It is scary 😰
it's really inspiring to see this video. many people don't understand how hard it is to read lips, until you have to. I may not be deaf, but I do have a great amount of interest in the deaf culture. I find it amazing how, regardless of the incapability to hear, people who are deaf always find a way to make the most out of what they have, and also take advantage of it. ASL is also a beautiful language. it really shows human emotion because when signing you need to express what you're saying in order for people to understand. Being normal, is not having perfect hearing or perfect anything. Being normal, is being your true self, no matter what people say
I never realized how much I depend on lip-reading until we began wearing masks, which makes it impossible impossible to read lips. Even though I have a Cochlear implant, I I know I'll never be able to hear like "normal" (whatever that is). I'm late-deafened so I know what hearing was. Now, after 60 years of total silence, I'm trying to pick up ASL. Better late than never.
I went deaf a few years ago and I’m really struggling with having to tell people more than 20 times a day to repeat themselves because I missed what they said. It’s really stressful. Thanks for making this film.
Kirsty, I saw your comment dated 3 years ago. I hope this will arrive at your notification page. I find it very helpful to use Notes app with microphone turned on. Or Google Transcribe and you watch what everyone is saying. Mind you, background noise can be a hassle if it's too loud. Good luck, and take care. Hugs.
That was so scary. It made me realize how lucky I am to be able to hear.
Yey high five xD
woah we're fucking everywhere--
*creepily comes out of a corner*
"we're everywhere" :)
THEY CALL ME......BAEPSAE
*slides in like Suga in the 'War Of Hormone' MV* Pardon?
Nicee xD
Why did this scare me so much?
***** True.
The sounds getting fuzzy symbolize what it might sound like if you have a cochlear implant because when you have one it never quite interprets the sounds quite right.
I think some say they feel like they aren't hearing and aren't deaf when they have one because of this. They hear but they don't truly hear the way we do. And still often need signing because it takes effort.
and the backsound its just sooo scaryyy
Because that's probably how deaf people feel in conversations. Scared. Surrounded by others, unable to communicate. Ever felt anxious or uneasy during an interaction? Multiply that by 10.
dnplk Awh true. I wish the best for them. ❤️❤️
As a Deaf person i can vouch that this video is pretty accurate. You all said you turned up the volume when it went quieter so i'm assuming it was designed to teach hearing people what it was like to lip-read (of course - the title of the video confirms this). However, when the words went blurry and disappeared i was relying solely on their lips and struggled greatly without the context of one persons narrative. The video is very cleverly done and truly does represent the difficulties we go through every day in our lives.
At the end when it suggests human connection being made - this is essentially the feeling you gain when you click with someone you just met on the train, laughing at jokes and exchanging touching stories that a little light inside you sparks up. That feeling of happiness and completeness simply because you've created a bond - It's very hard for us to experience this without feeling silly, misunderstood and incapable of understanding a conversation word for word or by context.
Next time you hold a conversation with someone, just keep your mouth exposed and talk with a clear lip pattern and make this a habit - you could exchange a positive human connection and make a d/Deaf person's day a little bit special.
This was beautiful, I will try to keep this in mind for the rest of my life
Will definitely keep this in mind. Thank you c:
I couldn't turn up the volume and it went blurry I tried to read the lips, it's very hard. I can't turn it up cause I'm in a hotel room with my family and that's why I was looking up how to lip read. But seriously though, I have respect for you for this, I can hear and it must be hard for you.
When the words became blurry the voices also became distorted, not only quieter.
I feel deeply bad for you. I wish that this would never happen
Thank you for making this, as someone who is partially deaf this is really important to me and I'm glad hearing people can get a glimpse into our lives.
Sign language should be taught at an early age in schools. I wish I knew how to use it or had the opportunity to use it on a daily basis.
Yeah lets force every kid to learn something that 99% of the kids never will have to use.
But if everyone all around the world decided on one or even a few sign languages that were similar then it wouldn't matter if you didn't know a language when you travel because lots of people would know sign and be able to talk anyway. Besides if everyone learned sign and most people never used it I bet the lives that came in contact with those that do would be so touched. Spontaneous conversation! I once worked at DQ and deaf customers decided what they wanted to eat before they came in and they wrote it down for me to read. No asking them if they wanted to upgrade their request for a deal or try something new on the menu because at the time I didn't know how to talk to them. If sign was taught in school I would have had at least 4 opportunities to use it since and that doesn't sound like much to me but it could mean a lot to someone else. Also I think it's important for us to know important signs in case of emergency, like if a deaf child is lost and trying to ask for help, how nice it would be to be able to communicate with them.
yup, they only teach the alphabet
My friend is deaf and knows sign language but she basically never has to use it. She doesn't like using it either
Oh yes. I agree. Sign language expressions can be so useful even to the hearing people. I am a hearing person and would love to learn sign language.
What if i'm genuinely interested in what they're saying
You genuinely read their lips. It made me feel bad to realize that it isn't as simple and that deaf people who might really be interested in our stories couldn't be able to understand
That's the point isn't it?
Sign language.
Learn to lip-read then?
ikr
i had a best friend who was deaf, her name was dezerae. she had a twin sister who wasnt deaf, her name was kacy. we were neighbors. they were my best friends but i was closer to dezzi and from a very young age i learned sign language. then one day, me and my mom were on our way home. we saw their familys car smashed in a car accident. they all died. it was very sad. still to this day i know sign language and i will always remember them❤️ rip dezzi, kacy, and renee❤️
I am so sorry you lost your best friend and her family, but I'm so glad you got to form such a close connection to Dezerae from your knowledge of sign language.
lol
+george the camel how is that lol.....wtf give respect. sorry for your loss
+Ok wow do you have nothing else better to do than insult a 12 year old lmao
thank all of you💓
Very eye-opening to the plight of lip readers. It really makes you appreciate how truly blessed you are to be able to hear and understand without such a high degree of effort.

This was amazing. I knew daily tasks could be hard for these people but this video showed me exactly what they go through. It showed me the world from their perspective. And I'm in awe. I have so much more respect for them now because they do so much and I love that they didn't just give up.
6 years ago, a deaf girl asked me where our printers were located on
campus. I replied back can you read lips? At that time I thought it
was a legitimate question. I remember her shaking her head no. I got
up and showed her where they were. I didn't think anything of that
moment other than what it must be like to be deaf and it would be cool
for a deaf person to come up to me again in the future and I could reply
back in sign language. I took 2 classes of ASL and I feel like a
complete ass for asking her if she could read lips. I deeply cringe
about it. Even 6 years later. Due to financial reasons I stopped
taking classes and life got a hold of me. Now I am interested in ASL
again and it's mostly because I met a deaf girl and we have a date setup
with her on Friday. I hope it goes well and I should hopefully pick up
ASL quickly.
kingofbigmac Cool story
Why is the question bad? I read lips. Some deaf people do. Totally legit question. Don't feel cringe. I don't sign, well I do but I ask people don't sign to me 'cause I prefer to accept the challenge! Bring it! :D
FortisConscius the point is the if the person couldn't read lips they wouldn't know what she was asking in the first place
How was the date?
how did the date go?
Oh my God... the last part.. when I actually lip read her... it sent shivers down my spine... I never experienced anything like this... incredible
Am I the only one who cried? I'm not even deaf, but it really touched me...
I thought I was the only one !
i did i feel bad for her
I cried
I cried too 😭
I know right...
Beautiful way of explaining the difficulties and happiness of lip reading. Human connection is so important.
i cried. realize how we take our ability for granted all this time. Thank you, NG for making this
This made me cry. :'( I understand how she feels. It's a struggle..
Have you heard of Deaf UA-camr Rikki Poynter? She's amazing and all of her videos are closed caption. I also notice you have some sort of anime logo---I am helping the deaf community by captioning anime reaction videos!
She's inspired me a lot and I began learning a little about lip reading and I'm moderately knowledgeable with sign language (American). I hope the future brings you more patient, knowledgeable people and a smoother time....
+Dee-Nice No I havent :o and that's really cool! ^_^
+Dee-Nice And I hope the future will do the same for you. :) And it's great that you're learning more. c:
+Brisk AquarioHD I love languages and I have a disability myself so accomodating many different people is special to me. :) Thank you :)
this makes me want to learn sign language. tbh I think this was the point of this video.
Yea, that made me want to find classes
same. I've wanted to learn for a while though...
It's actually really fun and easy, I've taken it for 3 years and part of ASL national honor society. This message couldn't be any more true.
Yeah sign language to learn can be so much fun, I learn it now for 4 months and I love it
I started learning before this. it's really quite cool and interesting
Why do I feel scared?????
Like it’s hard for me to breathe 🤣
It's taking away something you've always had... That is a scary experience, but very useful
Empathy.
Ditto
I don't
@@yttrv8430 oh thanks
My stepdad is deaf, so I talk sign- language with him, and my mom is partially deaf, so since 10 years back I've tryed to learn more. Thanks for this video, now I can show my friends why they should be thankful that they can hear :)
This really sucks for deaf people, I really wish schools taught ASL to the students.
My school is teaching us sign language by advising students to join our new ASL Club.
Destiny Icedream that's really great!!
My school has it as a class and it fills the language requirement
Random Thing true cause I'd like to talk to and understand the deaf
I was one of the lucky schools.they taught us asl as the language requirement. And it is so great. Now i know sign language and it definitely helps me when i am at work.
there's a girl in my class that's almost completely even with her hearing aid on. she's a nice girl really but it's hard to have a conversation with her. She doesn't know sign language, or at least I think so since she's only ever tried talking to us which gets frustrating sometimes as we have a hard time understanding her and she has to repeat herself several times, I see all these people in the comments saying they should teach sign language in schools and I think they're right. She doesn't have many friends which sucks because she deserves way more.
i still don't understand why they don't teach it in schools. it could be combined with english/literature class
I know that most schools around me teach sign language as one of the languages you can choose from. It's not required but it is an option. It might not be available everywhere but it is offered in some places.
A lot of schools around me have sign language as a foreign language. I myself am in ASL 3 😊
maybe you can both learn a bit of sign language together and become good friends?
I took ASL for 3 years at my high school. But it could also be her parents. I learned a lot about what it's like to be deaf in a hearing family or hearing in a deaf family.. And like if you're a deaf/hard of hearing kid, some parents don't want to embrace that & get a cochlear implant or hearing aid so their child can be JUST LIKE THEM. Other parents are okay with their child being deaf and learn sign language for them. Things like that. It could be that her parents don't want her to? Or maybe she wants to fit in & not be ruled out as different for being the only kid that signs? Just some thoughts.
Wow, I'm amazed that I understood what she said at the very end, crystal clear!!
"Mister Sarcastic is a hot guy"... such a truthful final message too!
"now can u read my lips?", i get a goosebump when she said that at the end of the videos without any sounds...
All I was reading was can I brush my teeth
Lol
smh

Before clicking on this video I thought I was pretty good at lip reading but now I realize that I am not.
At the she says "Now can you read my lips?", doesn't she? I can almost hear the letter S in Lips. It's amazing.
This is so powerful. So much respect
This is terrifying

They should teach sign language in all schools
same. we only learned the alphabet bc we read a helen keller book... the asl alphabet
My school does well only the abc but I'm fluent it's really fun to learn
I have met one deaf person in my life and they had a sign language translator so why would I need to learn sign language?
That's what I've been saying for ages now, I just don't know where to I can ask.
+I'm Hyulu I agree that it is not very useful but as option yeah
As a deaf person with a cochlear implant it is a bit sad how true this is, I so grateful for being able to hear even if I can't hear like a normal person. Even if there are many people who are deaf/ hard of hearing like me, I just want people to know even not all of us know sign language too, some of us do, but not EVERY deaf person. I was never taught because I went to a normal English speaking school and there was no one to practice with. I also want to say something, people who think that a cochlear implant or hearing aid works perfectly for deaf/hard of hearing, that's false they don't work for everyone and those sounds you heard in the video, the strange sounds, as a cochlear implant user myself I do hear some of those noises sometimes so they are not perfected either.
Yes! Good message.
Thanks for sharing your experience!! I am almost deaf on my left ear and i was recommended to get a cochlear implant but i am not sure about that😬
13Redpanther thank you
No truer words have been spoken. I cannot even tell you how many times I have been let down by my hearing aids. The ones around me just do not understand...
That happens to me too
What's most amazing is that she is speaking words she has never ever heard before and can only rely on muscle memory by seeing others speak to sound the words. Truly remarkable
+♛ King Odin ♛ someone might've taught her
Is it just me? I have always had a fear of not being able to communicate.. i had nightmares where i cant be heared even when im screaming, like no sound was coming out no matter how hard i tried. Also hearing deformed words and voices freaked me out.

+Sylveon Boy yeah I think she did it this way to show the contrast between how we couldn't understand the other people and her
SAME i gained some magic powers just watching this
as someone with an auditory processing disorder, this brought tears to my eyes. i’m glad so many people can understand now.
When she says "Something clicks. Right then, I feel something extraordinary. Human connection." And whenever it goes silent and she says the phrase, it truly couldn't have been said better how you were to feel after understanding what one were to say.
The deaf girl (the one with the orange hair) was the only persons lips who I could read. The other people I only got bits and pieces. Even though I don't know any deaf person, I still know and are learning sign language for those who are deaf so I can communicate with them.
I believe it's because she can't hear, so she tries to make a perfect representation of the lip movements (and tongue) of a particular words; that's why it's easier to read her lips.
I am learning too!!!! It's so cool!!
I am learning too im hoping to meet someone deaf.
I think you got the main idea of the video, I can only read the lips of the deaf girl too because humans have so heavily relied on the sounds of speech which is why we don't really focus on the visual. kinda makes me think about it
you can only read her lips, because she understands what deaf people are like, she makes clear mouthsape of what she is saying, because she knows that you wouldnt be able to understand if she talked "normally...if you understand what i mean,its kinda hard to explain.
wtfff at the end she said 'now can you read my lips' and that was the only time I managed to lip read whaaaat
Most likely because you knew it would probably happen. It's the video title, so it's more obvious to us that way.
I flipped when that happened to me.
or the fact that her facial movements are more exaggerated.
I think it is "now, you 've read my lips".
Yeah, it's obviously exaggerated to get that effect. It's still kinda cool though, i must admit...
This is incredibly powerful. In the beginning I found myself turning my volume up & cupping my hand around my phone speaker to hear without even thinking about it! It's scary to discover how much I rely on my hearing & this video gave me chills. I was brought to tears by the ending because of how overwhelming it was trying to read everyones lips. I have found a brand new respect & appreciation for the deaf community. WOW.
i often think of which senses i am willing to lose. i admire anyone who lives with deprived senses, because it terrifies me so much..so grateful for what I have. I want sign language to be one of the national languages in every nation..can you imagine how much more inclusive and connected we'd all be? not just among us, but to ourselves too, because we prepare ourselves for potential sensory deprivation in our lives, and we use our mind-body connections to communicate. win-win
same
I would choose to lose my sense of pain (yes pain is a sense. There's actually more than the standard five). i think it's really hard to choose one out of the five. I'm an artist and i would be devastated if i lost the ability to see the beauty around me. I love music and conversation and hate the dark so I would hate to lose my vision. Can you imagine not being able to feel the water or sand between your toes at a beach? How about never being able to "touch" your newborn baby? Unable to feel the warmth of a blanket fresh out of the dryer on a winter day. That would really suck. I love cooking too so naturally tasting is a must. I know everyone hates not being able to smell while they are sick, imagine that being permanent. People who have to go through losing one of their senses have my sympathies. That definitely sucks.
Yo I totally feel where you are coming from. We'd even feel a closer connection to ourselves, bodies, and hands. Our hands would serve as more than one tool.
+MjaySenoj living without a sense of pain is actually incredibly difficult and dangerous, because you still get hurt and damage your body, but you can't feel it so you can't fix it and it just gets worse
+wickedest-witch yeah I understand that much and that it is dangerous and all, but i just can't part with anything else X( i'd rather risk some safety than part with the main five
00:15-0:28 my dumb ass turned up the volume
lol
Broo Me Too !! 😂😂
In my head I was like "hahaha the video tricked them!" Then I realized, I too turned up the volume.
Hold this L

lol
I'm so proud of myself I could tell what she was saying at the end
I think it's now can you read my lips right?
Doaa Dodo at one point did she says lips are like syphilis?
same
Dave Ackert sphincters
Im gonnay cry because it make me realize that how you should be grateful because you still can hear
I wish more people knew how to sign to make it easier on Deaf people. It's not being Deaf that seems difficult, it's hearing people that make it hard.
Its the same as any other language barrier. It would be nice if we could understand each other 100% of the time, but it's not possible
I can sign pretty well
I'd really like to learn sign language
i cannot even learn italian let alone sign language
It's actually very simple when you start learning the basic signs
when people talk to me, my first instinct is to look at their lips. i just feel like i listen better to people when i watch their mouth, it's like i hear them better. whereas when i look them in the eyes, i forget the shit they're saying and its like i cant hear them
same
Yesssss girl, me too! :) So I'm not the only one out there :D
Lisatbh samr
It said "Now can u read my lips?" At the end for anyone who doesn't know
Puppies4 Dayz no, she said thank you for reading my lips
Anna Serrestri No it doesn't.
Anna Serrestri no she said “Now, can you read my lips?”
Definitely "Now can you read my lips" HOWEVER Anna I tried to imagine hearing what you said it was and it can kind of fit... however this just proves all the more... how unreliable lip reading CAN be. :)
Smexy_ Porkchop I saw "And now, can you read my lips?"
Never take hearing or any sense as granted,, there are people who wry and live without the precious
I got the shivers when I read her lips at the end
What did she say??
Same. It was exactly the human connection she talked about in the video and it was amazing.
+Ingrid AL she said "Now can you read my lips?"
"i want you to read my lips"
I saw "I hate when you read my lips"... I would never be able to do that
sign language should be taught in school tbh
OP said it should be taught. Never said it should be required.
My school taught sign language but it was only optional.
Imperial Ace Scholar I didn't mean it should be forced upon us I was just saying that schools should have optional classes to learn it
In some schools it is. My old school teaches it.
No, I wouldn't want to learn a language I probably will never use. It should be optional. It's stupid to be forced to learn something you may never use.
true, but then again, some schools have languages like French and German; what are the chances that one will use those. plus, considering all the useless topics taught (biology, chemistry, physics e.t.c) i would be extremely happy about learning sign language, something that could help me communicate with a disabled person.
This was put together so well I am stunned!!
Peyton Carli oh hey peyton
I am so fortunate and blessed to have all of my abilities. The ability to walk, talk, hear, see, smell and taste. God bless all of the deaf people ❤️
This makes me not want to be ungrateful and complain about my life anymore.
ok, now 'm no gonna sleep tonight.. for some reason this is scaring me.. o.O
Mitchy Elswify same lol
how come
Classic element for terror movies actually. Audio manipulation
Mitchy Elswify yeah this is very creepy
Me too
OMG I FEEL SOMETHING FLOW DOWN MY SPINE ONCE IT SAID HUMAN CONNECTION! and then I could read their lips...
I did to..how does that...why....how.....what...how..how does...why are....how does this even work..
WTF ME TO JESUS CHRIST
me 2 wtf
+Saskia Appeljuice (StarwarsGeek) what you had was called ASMR, UA-cam it. you're welcome :)
+TwentyOneDankHowells |-/
woah this video is amazing. I now have a new found admiration for the deaf, i never realised how hard it was to just go through a day. Communication is so vital in our lives, and yet we fail to recognise how important it is
Honestly sign language looks like more sense than reading lips
BINGO!!! That's what I've been trying to explain to hearing (noun not verb) people who are too f.. lazy to try to make it easier on me. Thank you for understanding that!!
DeafLori I have single sided hearing loss. As a result I can relatively normally in quiet spaces, but in loud ones, cannot make out individual sounds. One year, I learnt a bit of Auslan in a sign language class. It was illuminating (and great) how much easier it was for me to use a visual language, like being on a level playing field with others in communication and frankly I just felt more at ease and like I wasn’t working so hard. And I can hear relatively normally. I can only imagine how frustrating and tiring it is for people whose hearing is worse than mine.
Ikr!
You have to have the other person who understands sign. Not many do.
I lip read to supplement what I can hear.
I can lip read really well as I am deaf and this is so hard to understand what they are saying I can only really understand my friends or people I see a lot but it depends who you are and how you speak
I am interested in learning how to lip read. Did you learn it over time or was there a special way you learned how to do it? Thank you
in advance
Actually, it is more like a behavior study of people. Not only you are reading lips, but also you are reading into their body language, facial expressions and such. You get to know them well enough to see how they move their lips. There is always a pattern. That is why it is so hard to read lip of a stranger. To improve on that, maybe you could try to watch videos on silent... I mean a lot of videos. Good luck.
Phoebe Taylorson same. My mom is the easiest for me. I guess because I’m used to what she says and how she says it.
@@hannahlutz2382 I think our mums are the easiest to understand for good reason...

omg a Billie fan 🤗 sorry just looked at ur page bc I found your pfp funny lol
Did any of you guys think that your earphones were broken when the sound started drowning out 😂
yes 😂😂
yees😂
yes I was like wtf I bought these headphones today
im not dumb so no
YESS
Dear Lord,
If I'm ever ungrateful just know that i am truly thankful to be ablebodied and im glad you made me the way you did
Amen
I never called them disabled I just said that I am thankful to be able bodied. I'm allowed to have my religion, so maybe you're the one who should fuck off
why are you being so hateful toward me? jeezus, all I said was that I was thankful and grateful
Coco The Ostrich Um...
Duh?
If people don't mention something, they don't get a response mentioning it
Yeah, that's kinda how conversations work
미셜비 You are literally delusional
I never mentioned anyone imposing any religion on anyone
I have a colleague who is deaf. Great guy! He sent me this movie.
But even being aware of how to communicate with him, this movie is still a good reminder on how he must feel, every day...
oh my gosh im crying
Is that Beebo in your picture??
I see Beebo
@ people complaining about the girl's voice. it's because deaf people can't talk properly, most of them don't even talk at all. Imagine having to explain talking and making different sounds to form words to someone who has never heard a sound in its life.. She speaks really well in my opinion.
I work at a local McDonald's and I was on register when this man with a hearing impairment came in. I treated him with as much respect as I would treat anyone else who came in and I was definitely sure that I spoke clearly enough for him to understand me. I think he did the same for me as well. (:
You're amazing.
I know you didn't know this, but it's actually extremely insulting to call a Deaf person hearing impaired, because they aren't broken, but that's what that label implies. They hate it so much that they don't even have a sign for it. And it's really nice that you both made an effort for each other, because a little really does go a long way when it comes to kindness and understanding.
not trying to be mean or rude but how is that insulting? isn't that calling the situation what it is?
I'm in a wheelchair and it wouldn't be insulting to me to have someone say she is in a wheelchair or her legs don't work or even she is disabled - although the word disabled a lot of people don't like that word.
I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from with saying its insulting to say someone is hearing impaired?
Jaimi Crystal exactly what I was thinking.
But he wasn't deaf. He was literally hearing impaired. Impaired doesn't imply that an individual is broken, or that an individual needs 'fixing'. All it implies is that said individual is hearing impaired- nothing more, nothing less. If he HAD been fully deaf, I would have said he was deaf.
But I do have to say, my town has a rather large deaf community, and I've never come across one who sees the term "hearing impaired" as an insult.
my eyes welled up with tears when the voice started fading, such a beautiful video with such a strong moral. Please be patient and respect everyone, embrace diversity.
rachel is so so strong, downright respect, love and support to her and all.
School should provide more programs that teach students from a very young age how to communicate through sing language
i like having some kind of grasp on asl and being able to understand what the signers were saying for the most part
The sounds and stuff make it scary omg
as a deaf person I go through this every single day and now with COVID I can’t lip read anymore
I hate that you cannot lip read anymore. I want to change that. ♥︎
