If someone is deaf from birth and gains hearing from implants later in life, you whisper in their ear and they can’t see your lips they won’t understand because they have never heard the audio before. Is this correct?

Yeah. Unless she is only partially deaf or had hearing before and lost it, she won’t understand him.
AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 2 years ago
In the beggining he said after a while she noticed or something like that so it means she had partial hearing loss.
AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 2 years ago
I figured that she noticed him visually, a shadow was cast or she saw movement. Anon also said that she heard her mom “for the first time” when she got the implant.
Taking all this into account, while the greentext seems to have avoided the first label of homosexuality, the verity of the story nevertheless has to be put into question.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Yes, but it’s not just deaf from birth people. Your brain has to wire itself to understanding the signals from the implant
frazw@lemmy.world 2 years ago
How could you possibly know what a visual representation of a sound sounds like if you’ve never had the relationship between the two pointed out to you??
theneverfox@pawb.social 2 years ago
If your whispered in their ear, then yes, if you’ve never heard English you can’t understand it
I didn’t see that in the post - lip reading would still that gap nicely, as would signing and speaking at The same time
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I like to think based on how this story is worded she always had implants but never knew to turn them up
cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 2 years ago
what if we all have implants but never knew how to turn them down?

But she sure plays a mean pinball.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 years ago
So it’s fake because 4chan. But also it’s fake because even if you’re late deafened you need to learn how to hear after getting cochlear implants.
Also because it’s rare for adults fluent in sign language with a supportive network to choose CIs unless late deafened

KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 years ago
the real question is if it’s also gay too.
dont ask me i don’t use four chan.
Malfeasant@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Also “she gave me her number.” And? Did you call her?
(I guess I’m dating myself here because texting is a thing, but…)
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I’m 30 and can’t imagine calling someone in response to being given a number. My entire life my number has been for texting
psud@aussie.zone 2 years ago
She would have had to learn to hear, learn to speak. Perhaps she couldn’t understand them, perhaps all the meaning communicated was in sign language

How do you know he was a confidential informant?

Maybe it was a bit much to ask that during such an emotional moment? I mean, let the woman decide when she has her wits together…

don’t worry, greentexts are fiction

Never knowing what to expect is the fun part of reading greentexts.

This is really cute, but the first thing you should’ve said to her was the cheesy pick up line from the day you met her.

Who else was waiting for the plot twist? I thought she dumps him because his voice sounds like a drowning pig in panic or so… :'D
Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
After my girlfriend gained the ability to smell, she dumped me. She hates roses now though
rbn@sopuli.xyz 2 years ago
How do you suddenly gain that ability? Are there implants for smell as well? Or did they extract some lego bricks that she stuffed up her nose as a kid?
stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 years ago
it’s a rare wholesome green text
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I misread the first twist as “she’s dead” and thought anon’s love life just took a turn for the worst.
Disgracefulone@discuss.online 2 years ago
Missed a perfect opportunity to say something like “prancing pig in a panic”.
