But how she know how to sound normal. Usually when people cannot hear themselves, they will sound like it, if you know what I mean.
I think in her case, my exes mother, it was that she had a little hearing as a child. But it was so little she was considered deaf.
I honestly cant recall the back story.
I recall that people used to learn to read lips and speak. Today its different.
Its a long time ago. I cant say exactly how long because then uncle @Graves will just show up and call me old.
One thing thats really "cool" or weird / fascinating is if both parents are deaf their kids dont cry when little.
They realize at a very young age that their parents cant hear them.
So they uses a lot of facial expressions to communicate their feelings.
I just remember that there seemed to be a lot of almost militant opinion in the deaf community.
Personally I just learned how to curse and call people good looking in sign language.
The deaf culture is really interesting, I learned a lot.
