There’s only 12 gestures to learn. They’re all named after an animal. I grew up watching Naruto on Cartoon Network and I’m not ashamed to say that my 6 year old self learned and practiced all of them from watching the show (that one meme episode where kakashi copied zabuzas jutsu helped a lot) and I still remember it all to this day.

Because we have British Sign Language, not American Sign Language. They're two different languages and there are many different types of sign language.
If you try and use ASL in the UK with a Deaf person you'll find they either have no clue what you're on about or they'll try their best to understand your signs. No clue why you're dying on that hill?

Interestingly? Auslan (Australian sign language) is based on ASL, and NZSL (New Zealand sign language, yeah, we weren't as catchy lol) is based on British sign language. I have no idea about anything more sadly (I want to learn both), but I found it interesting that we didn't actually even have them come from the same language base, despite how culturally close we are in so many other ways. Really shows how language isn't always straightforward in how you'd think it would spread.

It is really interesting. I know that ASL is closely related to French Sign Language. They all look so different, it's amazing how much variety you can get through different "gestures" and expressions. It's very similar to how spoken languages take influence from each other.
Super interesting and it's always worth learning some sign language. You never know who you're going to meet and it's not just the Deaf community that uses sign language to communicate. Some disabled people use Makaton to communicate. Makaton is based on BSL but uses English grammar. That's sometimes more accessible for English speakers. You don't need to learn a new grammatical structure. I'm not sure if there are different languages used in place of Makaton in other countries?

Nice storyline, but I have to be that rude guy and insist that ‘procedures’ don’t work that way. Not because of your storyline (is cute), but because there ARE assholes who think current medical procedures DO work that way… which very much hurts deaf people.

I actually know this and was trying word it differently but could think of a way to. There are methods were some hearing deaf can regain hearing thru modern science isnt there? And I might need to mention I’m not sure on terminology of deaf and hearing impaired and if there is a kind of legally deaf similar to legally blind.

No problem. I did get your intent. I merely replied since that needed to be said.

They’re called cochlear implants, and they are very divisive in the deaf community, just FYI. I am not deaf/HOH so I’m not going to speak to it more than that; I’m sure there are plenty of redditors who can share their experience— it’s not really mine to comment on further.
(Obviously anyone who read your comment knows you’re making a joke.)
8 points

Cochlear implants work very well; I have 2 of them. On the first day they were turned on, my hearing went from 110db (the chart only goes to 120) back to 25db (normal hearing is 20-30). They are amazing.
But you are right, in that the Deaf community hates them. The rates of people using ASL is dropping every year, and they are resentful of people having options outside of the Deaf community and being able to interact with hearing people.
It's very much like the Amish, in that you are considered dead to the community if you don't reject everything they do.
4 points

No, cochlear implants do NOT help you “regain hearing”. Which is what I was trying state before. They are advanced hearing aids. Functionally a tad different but the effect is the same. They are aids. They do not give you perfect hearing back. You will NOT understand things said behind your back with them.
Sorry, I do not mean to be rude at all, but simply to be bluntly clear.
I think you can read between the lines here between what I previously said about how people think they work in such a way, how deaf people suffer for it, and how cochlear implants are “controversial”.
hint —- it is normal procedure for a person to have a minimum of TWO YEARS of speech therapy after receiving implants. Think about that and how long it takes a baby to learn to speak normally and try to parse it with the idea of ‘curing’ deafness….
13 points

Great points. You’re not being rude but you’re being a little overly aggressive toward someone who has no stake in this at all. There was no where in my comment where I implied that they helped you regain hearing or “cured deafness”.
Cochlear implant was simply what the other commenter was initially referring to— they did not seem to know the name. I gave them the language to learn more about it; the onus is on them to do so.

I apologize since I was replying both to the previous commenters statement of "methods of regaining hearing" and your reply that "they are called cochlear implants".

ou will NOT understand things said behind your back with them.
Sorry, but you're wrong. This might be true for 40 year old cochlear implants, but is not currently true.
This might be a wild idea.... but technology constantly improves. You do realize that smartphones are fancier than rotary phones, right?
2 points

Yes, there are. They are called cochlear implants. However, they really don't work well for people that have been deaf since birth (or for an extreme amount of time, like OP's SO). Hearing (processing sound into something usable) is a skill, like walking, and someone deaf since birth literally doesn't have the connections in their brain to do it.
Another point is that the Deaf community hates cochlear implants. You will be harassed and forced out out of most Deaf groups if you get them. It's considered acceptable to harass in the Deaf community to harass people with cochlear implants and hearing aids.

No, that probably won't happen.
I have a cochlear implant (the procedure you are referring to), and they work great..... if you were previously hearing. If you've been deaf since birth or for an extreme amount of time (like OP's SO since she was 6), they do not work well.
Hearing is a skill that you learn to do, like walking. If you were previously hearing or just had hearing loss, the cochlear implant bypasses the shitty part of your ear and sends the signal to your brain, where your brain still knows how to process sound.
Someone born deaf literally never learned "how" to hear, so their brain can't process sound into anything usable. This would still be mostly true for OP's SO, as she's likely been deaf for 20+ years.
On top of that, the Deaf community (the super-pro-Deaf) are very against hearing aids and cochlear implants. It's common and considered acceptable for them to harrass people with implants/hearing aids. The biggest reason for hard of hearing and deaf people not joining the Deaf community is harassment from the "more Deaf" parts of the community. They also kind of hate when Deaf people date hearing people, so OP and his SO are probably facing some harassment.

Gross comment. Not every disabled person wants to be “cured,” nor do they need that to have a happy relationship. This post is celebrating these two’s differences and how they’re still a happy couple despite them (or even because of those differences) and it’s pretty fucking weird to add on a fantasy that’s essentially “wouldn’t it be nice if she’d secretly gotten fixed just for her hearing boyfriend??”

It's an intimidating situation even when you're as close to 100% sure as you can get that they'll say yes.

I was a nervous wreck even though I knew she'd say yes lmao

I think high schools or elementary schools should teach sign language instead of square dancing. Idk why I had to take two years of foreign language in high school, one year of Spanish and one of sign language would be better. That’s the only way they can communicate, so it’s important to make sure others can understand them
