I love how the doctor/nurse says “Remember how I told you this would sound like Donald Duck?”
Like woman, has she ever heard Donald Duck before?
I’m not crying. YOU’RE CRYING!!!!!!
Skip to last 10 seconds of the video for her husband saying it.
How can she understand the spoken verbal language if she never heard it before? I thought that was something you have to learn through time and practice, like reading or writing.
Thanks for not ruining the video by adding cheesy sentimental piano music
I shouldn’t have watched this while cutting up onions
[Sound of Metal](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5363618/) is a good movie to watch about hearing loss and this procedure. Definitely recommend.
but what would be the worst thing to say?
Cochlear implant technology is absolutely amazing
Curious to know (not necessarily this video) but if someone was deaf their whole life and began hearing at 25, would they understand spoken language? Could they have read lips the first 25 years if they never heard speech?
Amazing

I’m curious as to how someone who has never heard their language before can know how to understand it verbally the moment they begin hearing.
I get that they’ve most certainly read. And can attribute words to meanings. But how do they attribute words or letters to sounds without ever having heard those sounds?
My daughter was born deaf and got cochlear implants when she was still under 1 year old. She’s 10 now, in regular classes at school, and no longer requires any speech therapy. Technology is incredible. Here’s a video of her playing peek-a-boo when she was 19 months old.

Nobody paying Reddit to shill Enchroma glasses this week then?

Aww we all love you too, Allison
Top comment on the youtube video is hilarious as hell:
> My daughter is 13 and this really gave me hope that someday my daughter will hear my voice as well. She’s not deaf or anything, she’s just 13.

Neat video.
Quick unrelated and off-topic question…just what is going on with reddit today. Double posting has always been a thing but today? I see just about everyone double, triple, quadruple or more posting. Freaking weird. Makes me wonder if this post is gonna do that when I hit save *once*….
Anyone else seeing tons of duplicate comments everywhere today?
So it’s obvious that this woman has been able to hear in the past. She is able to speak just fine and in fact you notice that upon having her hearing suddenly turned on her speech immediately improves.
I’d say she could hear as a child, learned how to speak, and lost her hearing over time. Her speech degraded but as soon as she could hear herself, she started correcting.
because a deaf person who has never heard before literally cannot make effective speech as we know it because they don’t know what it sounds like. They would at best know the shape of the lips, maybe the movement of the tongue a bit, but not how it actually sounds to speak.
​
But seeing someone hear again is awesome.
Good for you. I’m still hoping to hear this from my dad someday. Both of us hear and speak perfectly…
Being hearing impaired myself that brought instant tears to my eyes.
Honest question, does she know what it means? Sure they can read in English or whatever language, but cam they speak it or even be taught what the sounds will be?
Now I am curious, does a hearing impaired person who is hearing words for the first time actually recognize what those words are? Sure she knows what “I Love You” looks like in sign language or what it looks like being mouthed… But out of the box, no lips visible, a deaf person probably would just *hear* what sounds like gibberish?
I imagine it would be pretty fun to have a job where you get to see this reaction over and over.
To give hearing people some info: a person that has been deaf since they were young (infancy, childhood type ages) wouldn’t really be able to interpret what the sound of words are. Sure they can “voice” some words but it’s not accurate. You’ve heard deaf people speak and it sounds off, right?
Listen to this woman. She is interpreting words correctly. Her speech is perfect. What this tells me is that she became “late in life” meaning she grew up hearing, she was speaking and contributing to conversations but became deaf some time during or after adolescence.
Guess we’re having onions for lunch.

I didn’t want to cry this morning, THANKS. But that was really nice to watch so…..THANKS?
Oh ok I guess I’m crying today
Skip to a few seconds before the end of the video, that’s where you find the title.
Guy blew a golden opportunity to use some zany voice and make his wife think that’s what he sounds like all the time.
If she had never heard before, wouldn’t spoken words just be gibberish for a while?
“Everything’s going to sound like a machine for a little while. Now, let’s have your husband say something.”
DOMO ARIGATO, MISTER ROBOTO.
One question, how would she know what Donald Duck sounds like as a reference?
Would be hilarious if the guy had a ridiculous voice – like Bobcat in police academy
