Now you gotta get one of working audio in your other ear.
I really like this! Let’s see if people see it and understand 🤞
Am i the assohle if i point out that it is a speaker icon, not a microphone icon? 😐
Shouldn’t it be a microphone 🎙️ crossed out, instead?
I though it ment you were not paying attention to what people say. I had not read the part about you ear beeing deaf. Guess i wasnt paying enoug attention.
Clever, I love it.
Did it hurt much?
What is wrong with you people! It’s a flower pot on it’s side with an X next to it.
ITT: people that don’t know pc equipment.
Speakers project sound.
Microphones register sound.
Speaker would be your voice.
Microphone would be your ears.
I feel like the microphone mute symbol would be more fitting?
deaf power! jkjk
AN sufferer ?
I hate to be the one to say it, but that is a very poorly done tattoo. It lacks all symmetry. Even for small things like this it’s worth it to pay extra to get a good tat since it’s permanent.
There’s a lot of Redditors who are deaf in one ear who have this Tattoo:

I know someone IRL with it as well.. And yes, every time someone posts this tattoo there’s debates in the comments about whether it should be a muted mic instead or not..
Bwhahahaa I have been talking of getting the same tarot on my right ear cause I have always been deaf on that side. I love it
Your ear doesn’t make sound?
i would think it is a mute button if i did not know the background of the tattoo
His ear doesn’t make sound?
As someone who is also deaf in one ear I am inspired to get a tattoo like this now
I’ve got one like this but it’s a floppy disk and it’s on my penis
My (former) brother-in-law was hard of hearing but he worked at CVS. A customer once asked him a question, but he couldn’t hear it. The customer says, “*What are you? Deaf?*”, to which the guy replied, “Yes.”, and pointed out his hearing aids.
Dang now you’re deaf and have a dumb tattoo. Sweet
So this ear doesn’t make any noise…wait, does your other ear make noise???
That’s awesome! I had a friend in high school that was deaf in one ear and i kept forgetting which one i was supposed to tell the gossip and which one i should whisper in if i probably should keep it to myself
Deaf Girl I hooked up with in high school had a closed captioning logo tattoo on her hip.
/u/TheAmateurRunner , I hope i dont seem rude by asking these, and i apologize if I am.
1. what did the needle vibrations “sound” like in your deaf ear?
2. Is there a tonal mismatch between the sounds vibrating through your bone vs what you hear in the air through your other ear?
I have had multiple deaf/partially deaf friends in my life and acoustics are fascinating to me. So I apologize if these questions offend you, but I am genuinely curious.
ITT semanticists gurgling “akshually” ad nauseum
You fucking understand what it means.
Shouldn’t it be a “muted mic” icon?
It would bother me too much that this is the icon for muted speakers not muted mic.
Bro, nobody’s ear makes sound.
What you need is a crossed microphone.
😵😵
This symbology is all wrong.
If we swap out the person for a computer, it would display a microphone with an X when it cannot _receive_ audio — that it cannot “hear” sounds. It would display a speaker with an X signifying that the computer cannot _produce_ audio — that it cannot “speak” sounds.
Ergo, this is entirely the wrong icon to use.
A speaker _produces_ sound. So if the person possesses a speaker that cannot produce sound – if they are mute and cannot speak – than the speaker-X icon is correct.
A microphone _receives_ sound. So if the person possesses a microphone that cannot receive sound – if they are deaf and cannot hear – than the microphone-X icon is correct.
Your ears are a microphone, they _pick up_ sound. Your voice is a speaker, it _produces_ sound. It can’t get any clearer than that.
As a person who also has a deaf ear, i want to join in on this trend
I absolutely love it. I think it looks great. Great job. Looks amazing.
Weird. My first thought was the person request quiet. A lot of TBI ( traumatic brain injury), are noise sensitive.
If they ever do a “straight” remake (as opposed to story-inspired-by) of It’s A Wonderful Life, George Bailey has to have this tattoo.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to be a microphone mute symbol?
