Just don't let her feel your face.

So if you're a fader fan just back from a game make sure you put the bag away.

well said. I was thinking the exact same thing. She was completely overcome with emotion; like emotion overload.

From what I know, which is admittedly very little, they are really, really good at reading lips. So she is clearly overwhelmed because she's trying to correlate what she sees with what she hears (not to mention she's hearing for the first time, which is on the level of HOLY SHIT WOW). And, it seems the professional working with her is enunciating her words very carefully.

However, I don't know how music would work. And if there's anyone else who knows more about this, I'd be interested in knowing as well.

For the hard of hearing/deaf people who have suffered total hearing loss, it's hard for them to get a understanding on music, in terms of lyrics and sounds. But they can pick up the "bass" of the music, if that makes sense.

And they also use lip reading as well. I know I have used it, as it worked to my advantage on situations where, for instance, if I'm swimming, I don't have my hearing aids on, but it's still good to be able to communicate with others, just have to remind them to slow down a little bit so I can see their face.

So, can pretty much any deafness be cured by cochlear implants now? Are there limitations to the technology? Just curious.

It really depends on each individual, I would imagine.

Quick question.

Would you pick:

Paraplegic or blind?
Paraplegic or deaf?
Paraplegic or both?

where is the 'dead' option?

Interesting. Thanks.

I'd also like to make the point that legally blind does not equal total blindness. Legally blind is defined by 20/200 or worse vision, meaning they can see at 20 feet what individuals with normal vision can see at 200. So, she probably has some vision, which she can use for lipreading with the therapist sitting so close.

Record "Would plow" on a soundbite and send it to her. You could be the first documented case of online dating that caters to the sensory disabled.

wood plow

Yeah but can she drive a car?

the answer is no.

Bring her to Arrowhead Stadium for a Chiefs game and watch her piss herself. (wait we already have fans that do that)

jk....that would be mean.
