Have no idea if this was posted before, hopefully not. I guess otherwise you can rate me late.
I don't understand this video at all. What is so great about hearing yourself?

She was deaf for her entire life, and technology hearing aids allowed her to hear her own voice for the first time. (I phrased that oddly..)

I don't understand thinking at all. What is so great about using cognitive processes to realise that this person has never heard anything in her entire life?
That's actually pretty awesome. Really should make you think about all the things we take for granted.
How heartwarming.
I don't care how late it is, that's pretty exciting.
I don't know whether or not to believe this. People who are def their entire life have that kind of "he-hno mui ambe ihns bwop!"
If it is real, that's pretty awesome! Good for her!

Yeah I'm wondering that too. If she hasn't been able to hear anything her whole life, why is she able to speak so well?
She was on the Ellen show, and explained that very question.
She said it was basically because she really liked English and Reading and all that good stuff. She still has a pretty noticeable impediment though
Having one sense that you never had opens a whole new world to you. I'd shit myself from excitement.
Maybe she wasn't born def and something triggered it mid way through her life
Pretty nice though
Late, I watched this 128 weeks ago.
She probably wasn't born deaf, so she knew what sound actualy means, and her voice didn't sound like random nonsense to her.
Edit- Nevermind, she was born deaf...
If that box is the part that "hears" I bet it sounded great when the doctor slammed it on the table. :v:
This reminded me of this video:

She asked for this.
I bet its really challenging learning to [b]speak[/b] English if you're deaf, yet she seemed to do it so well.
There's a reply above you that explains that..
She was born deaf. The hairs inside her ears never formed, so sound waves never reach her eardrum
or some such
Modern medical science is amazing sometimes

Yeah, most deaf people have a really weird voice when speaking. Some of them have a really good voice though.
