    That's why when babies learn new words, they focus on mouth movements. If you have kids, try and notice whenever you say a word they've never heard before, they don't bring their ears closer, but their gaze focuses on the lips. For some reason, babies have this intuition about mouth movements.

    This is a good illustration of how communication is not limited to a single sensory organ. And this provides a clue as to why comments such as this section, and forums where the written word alone is used. That not only can and do miscommunications happen, but we are also missing the emotional context of what is being said. As such there can be only limited, or even no emotional empathy happening between conversing parties. So toxicity can flourish since our innate affective empathy isn't triggered the same way as it would be in person.

      Exactly. One thing many people are unaware of is that there are in fact three types of empathy, cognitive, affective(emotional), and somatic. Most people who I've spoken with, only think of the cognitive version, being able to put yourself in another person's perspective.

      I don't see why would you be curious what a lip reader would think, because it's not like he's saying the same thing but with different mouth movements- he's saying different things, but the same audio is playing for both. A deaf person would have no idea of that. They would see that he's saying different things so say that he's saying different things. (the fact that different audio is playing is totally irrelevant)

      Do you lip read?
      Do you rely exclusively on lip reading to communicate?
      Perhaps it means 'nothing', that is, without context, the lip patterns are ambiguous or garbled.
      That is, imagine talking on a VERY bad phone line. You can 'fill in the gaps'.
      Tl;dr - context matters.

      I hate the drag of going into an office but I begrudgingly admit that it makes meetings and working sessions a *bit* easier due to seeing body language along with spoken word. I also hate having to turn cameras on during work calls but when I do, I also admit I can follow the discussion slightly more quickly because I can see mouth movements and facial expressions. The benefit to me isn’t enough to justify forcing everyone to return to an office full time or mandating cameras on, but I can see the usefulness from time to time.

    This is a great independent example of why people who are losing their hearing struggle to hear conversations if they can’t see who’s speaking to them. And that habit, or tool, kind of becomes heavily relied upon before the individual even realizes they’re suffering from any hearing loss. For instance if you’re having a phone conversation, you can’t see the speaker, and get frustrated speaking on the phone so begin avoiding answering and replying by text. Or if you’re speaking with someone, but maybe don’t have your glasses on and suddenly are very confused while having the conversation because you took your glasses off, how is that effecting your hearing? Another reason why it’s important to notice these kinds of things in our friends, family and acquaintances- because they may not even see the correlation. They may just begin getting frustrated and start withdrawing rather than asking “huh” all the time (especially if they were heavily reinforced to not say “huh”!) or trying to interpret the muffled conversation.

      No, you weren't calling the bluff, you didn't follow the instructions he gave.

He didn't say "What do you hear?", instead he put that on the title on top of his head as it requires us to read(while we are watching).
      The point is to be able to hear the same word on both CLIP without getting tricked by your own vision. He didn't trick anybody, it was a test to see how our brain accepts and reacts to the perception coming from multiple sensory organs. Since you only receive an auditory perception, you're not testing your brain capabilities, and even so, you have already failed at it(listening to the very first instruction) 😂 Muah haha haa

    Both clips sounded exactly the same to me. Which is probably because, having living my whole life with sight loss, I’ve never been able to read lips, I can’t see facial expressions when looking at people, so I’ve always just listened for the sounds.

    Bro said "bear" 🐻 followed by"deer" 🦌, then "dear" 😊, then told us that we heard "fair" ⚖️, then guilt tripped us by saying he said "beer" 🍺 "there"👉 all this time. 🍻 Cheers all! 😂

    it sounded like he was saying bear no matter what, and the balls didn't look like they bounced off of each other. I'm broken I guess.

    The only thing I'm not keen on is how softly you pronounced the B sound. It's funny though, because before knowing what this was about, I closed my eyes when you asked me to listen, because I know it's easier to concentrate on sound with your eyes closed, so instinctively closed mine when asked to listen carefully. I think it's why we (musicians) close our eyes when really getting into a playing a piece/part on an instrument.

    When I first watched, I knew the effect was, so I had my eyes closed for the entire "Bear-Fair" segment. I heard "bear" the entire time when I wasn't looking, but did hear "fair" on my second watch during that segment
