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 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago
what if we all have implants but never knew how to turn them down?

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

the real question is if it’s also gay too.
dont ask me i don’t use four chan.

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 8 months 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 8 months 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…

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 8 months ago
After my girlfriend gained the ability to smell, she dumped me. She hates roses now though
rbn@sopuli.xyz 8 months 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 8 months ago
it’s a rare wholesome green text
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 8 months 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 8 months ago
Missed a perfect opportunity to say something like “prancing pig in a panic”.
