Love! I soooooo identify with this. God knows how many times that I have to deal with ignorant hearing people when I tell them that I'm deaf.
Love your videos. Keep them coming 👍
Todd Fonder I am not deaf or HoH but I too can't stand the ignorance of people. I find it rather fulfilling to be able to whatever it is that I can do for others that help them. I have a regular customer who is deaf. It took a bit of my time to help her with what she needed but I enjoyed every minute of it. It made me feel good and I hope that it made her feel good that I took the time to help her.
You Crack me up and I love the tips ... I never really considered myself HoH until everyone else kept telling me I was. Your Video's are helping me understand why people get mad at me when I keep saying what or look at me when you talk to me.
Shao Lopez You just have to be patient if people get mad like that. I deal with it all the time. We just have to keep getting the word out on deaf awareness. Hang in there 😊
Shao Lopez for me idk if maybe I have become a bit HoH now that I think about. I do have to have people repeat themselves somewhat often. Working with the public I have learned that some of them sound mad when they have to repeat themselves but really they just sound that way because they increases their volume. I'll think to myself "dang I know you're making sure I hear you but do you have to sound so mad about it". Lol
So, it's refreshing when someone speaks louder but doesn't sound mad, but when they do I just ignore it and continue on.
don't know whether its my ears or my brain but i have trouble understanding people when there's background noise, working as a cook in a busy kitchen this was a massive pain in the arse :P
Omg. You rock. I stumbled upon your channel somehow. I have a Friend who was deaf (has cochlear implants now). I can't ever remember us guys acting any differently around him except for when we needed his attention IMMEDIATELY. Tap on the shoulder or zip in font of him to get face to face but it was all good. We just all naturally adapted to make sure he was always in the loop. Having been deaf and able to read lips he's the most dangerous person I know. LOL. you don' want to call him something in traffic, because if he has a good bead on your lips he's going to know what you said.... sometimes it's hilarious sitting in a bar having a few with him and he gives us the play by play of what' going down with certain peoples conversations. I'll admit there were times we'd all be sitting in the shop having a few and we'd all cover or mouths and keep talking just as a light hearted joke and he always got a kick out of it but that was just shop humor, we never did that out in public. It has really helped me zone in if a person is deaf or hoh.... I can key in on some people's facial expressions and have a pretty good idea if they are deaf or hoh... I don't actively look for it, but my spidey senses pick up on it way way way before most non deaf/hoh people will... it's really important for people to understand we all can't hear 100% and not to feel uncomfortable around deaf/hoh people. Doesn't phase me a bit, just sometimes have to alter our methods of communication. ... heck if need be, pen and paper... I'd rather convey information correctly and concisely than leave a person with not all the info or misinformation.
I started taking a sign language class with a lady in our church who was an interpreter and through her met a deaf woman with whom I became her friend. But she had CP and her signing wasn't the same due to her malformed fingers. Long story short, she asked me to be her interpreter for a college course she was gonna take. At this time I didn't know hardly any sign and said so. She said so? Learn as you go!
Mmmmkay. At first there was a lot of spelling which was hard to do that and keep up with the teacher but I started learning the words when class was slow and she'd sign the words I spelled. 2 years of classes and I was pretty fluent. But her signing was different enough that I had a hard time understanding "normal" signing. That was in the early 80s and naturally I've forgotten a lot.
I found you through Drew's video so I'm gonna check you out and see if I can relearn that which I've forgotten. That and you're really funny and I think your videos are going to be fun.
Looking forward to seeing more videos. :)
Thank you!! :)
I love your videos! I work at a Pet Shop & we have a loyal customer who is deaf, this really helps me to learn how to better communicate with her & even learn a bit of sign language :)
Came from drews channel, so glad to have found yours! I'm enjoying binge watching your content :)
I work with people who have developmental disabilities and a few who are deaf/hoh. I really didn't know anybody who used sign language until I started this job 4 years ago. I have picked up a lot of the basics but I wish there was somewhere I could learn more! I know I can look it up online but sometimes the illustrations can be confusing. Would you consider doing videos of just teaching sign language so we could learn with you?!
i would be interested in that, maybe even start a patreon and do it as kind of a class we can pay for. people charge a lot of money to teach something so complex so i wouldn't expect you to do it for free
Illustrations are confusing, I don't trust them! As for teaching, since I have only been learning for a year and a half going on two years, I don't feel too comfortable teaching ASL yet.
Drew was an exception because he forced me to... Just kidding :) There are a lot of cool ASL teachers on youtube my favorite by far has been: ruclips.net/user/billvicars
I like watching one video a week it helps me keep up with my ASL. Also this website is super helpful and i trust it when I look up words! www.lifeprint.com/ :)
I came over from Drews channel. You are so funny!! Now I'm a new subscriber ☺ I spend time with a few older family members that are hard of hearing so I'm thankful for your videos. When I was in like 4th grade I taught myself the alphabet in sign language. I've never forgotten it after 40 years. I used it once when I was a waitress.
I have a cousin who is deaf and I am glad this video is up. I know so very little sign language as I rarely see him, but he will be a big brother to a younger adopted deaf boy (my new cousin) and having this information for when I first meet him will be very helpful. Thanks. You were awesome on Drew's channel and I couldn't miss the opportunity to learn more. :)
Jessica Flores, Drew Lynch sent me here! You were great on Dog Vlog. Subscribed!!!
Thanks for this, your videos are very informative. P.s I came here after watching the video of you and Drew Lynch.
Commencing binge watching session. What a great way to relay this information!! Love the energy !!
I came from Drew's channel. Iv actually been learning ASL, I'm glad I found your channel!!!
Jessica, you are brilliant ! I started lip reading a year ago and this is the best site by far. Thank you!
You are so right on! !!! I love it when you explain it with humor , I get my laugh for the whole day !!! You're awesome. !!!
Saw you on Dog Vlog with Drew, and I love your sense of humor!
love this video! Very informative.
You're awesome! I came here after seeing you in Drew Lynch's video and I've liked/subscribed to you! :D You've put a smile on my face. Have a wonderful day!
Just watched you and Drew! Loved the video!
Just subbed😊 Love your personality!!
Awesome video. Thanks
Your videos are so funny and they really help cheer me up! I wish that they taught sign language at my high school. I've always wanted to learn sign language, but I'm also in love with Spanish! ❤ hopefully I can learn them both (asl and lse)
I love your videos. They always make me laugh and cheer me up 😘 x
Sophie Mattes glad to know people find the videos funny 😄
She's hilarious 😂😂
I'm a hearing person... sometimes... lol... anywho.. I think this channel is awesome. I work with deaf and hard of hearing people.... and it gives me a better understanding in a fun way on how deaf or hoh people may be thinking. I am not fluent in asl by any means so it can be a bit difficult to communicate without an interpreter. I am slowly learning to make my job a lot easier. So I appreciate the videos and keep up the awesome work. 😊😊😊
I love your video's I'm learning so many things about the deaf/HoH. And your hilariously entertaining.
Jordan Sawyer thank you! Glad you are enjoying them!
Drew sent me, you are a blast,love the vids *New Sub*
I love them. And I have dealt with a lot of these
I'm a new subscriber!❤️❤️
Hey I just met you and this is crazy but I subscribed and your amazing
Another awesome video! I can totally relate.. the other day when I told a woman at the DMV I was very hard of hearing she started laughing.. which was odd and inappropriate but I guess maybe she was just nervous.... I'm still trying to figure out how to tell new ppl I'm HoH without eliciting fear, pity or strange nervous giggles. Maybe you can offer some tips in a future video? I'd love to hear how you give new ppl a heads up about your hearing loss.
That is a really good idea, I'll do that! Thanks for sharing this :)
Man I wish I saw this video last week. I had someone come into my job and he was deaf. I don't know why but I was worried if I wrote on a paper that it would come across as rude. I'm glad I know now. And I'd like to start learning sign in order to communicate more. 💜
omg i just watched you on Drew's dog vlog ... that's right bitches 😂😂😂😂😂😂 you are awesome! subbed in less then a min 💜💜💜💜
#NotiSquad=YASSSSSSSSS!
😁
I watched Drew's video you are so cool and funny 😂❤️love you
came from drew's channel :)
i live with an old guy who cant hear very well and i found that he can hear lower pitched things better, i have a pretty deep voice already but if i lower it to be super bassy he can understand me a lot better
When I was younger, I was apparently kind of smart (we're talking 1st grade - don't worry, I grew out of being smart) and was sent to another local school for a couple years to idk, learn stuff with smarter people. This school was small, but it was shared with an entire ASL program that probably 99% of the town still doesn't know ever existed. Now, I had hearing friends, but for whatever reason, I always sat with the deaf kids. I learned very little sign language, but I guess I just grew accustomed to them reading my lips and overall interacting with them. Fast forward 25 years later and I work at a day program where there is a deaf woman and I'm the only one she can understand that knows pretty much no ASL. This video makes me understand why.
So G R E A T and FUNNY!
😂😂🤣🤣 Great video! You're on a roll!
I'm a hearing person and I give everybody my full attention when I'm talking with them. I look them in the eyes and smile and respond appropriately. I drives me absolutely NUTS when the other person doesn't have the courtesy to do the same when I'm talking. And I can only imagine how much more *frustrating* it would be being a deaf/hoh person!!
I have Asperger's and wanted to comment that it's not always about courtesy. My autism means I have trouble looking people in the eyes. I'm really trying to get over that, not only because I don't want people to think I'm rude, but now I'm hoh and wear hearing aids. So I find myself working harder to look at people who are talking to me so I can understand them better. But it's so hard and causes me anxiety to do that. It's a fight that I struggle with every time I have a conversation with someone.
Keep on gng !!
New subscriber. Sure you have been told but if not - you are a beautiful woman.
Hi I'm your new subscriber, plus I know ASL 1. 😊
I used to work at a grocery store, and this deaf lady would come in once a week. I don't know sign language, or at least not enough. Most of my co-workers had no idea how to help her. So I would walk around the store with her and write down what people were saying and she would write her answers back.
On a side note my coworker was trying to say thank you in sign language to her and I'm positive he said f*** you.
Did they say thank you but like under the chin? Happens a lot but it's no biggie lol
Omg Basically and upgraded lilly Singh and I'm obsessed
Hey! Im a CODA and I'm trying to become more fluent in my sign language and I love watching your videos both of my parents are deaf so I know sign language. You are so funny keep up the good work! The worst thing is when your deaf parent/friend walks away and you didn't finish your sentence so you keep waving and eventually throw something at them or tap them...
Eitan Seitchik :D ....hi....what is a CODA? Thank you!
samiamisme CODA means child of a deaf adult
InfiniteMelody ....thank you for that!😊
Haha! So true. My kids and husband complain of this all the time. I try. Happens at work too.
I recently started learning a bit of sign language so I was super excited to see you in one of Drew’s vides! Instantly subscribed :) But I do have a question, since I’m not fluent in signing, should I stick to using my phone or pen and paper if I ever meet a deaf/HoH person? I only have the abc’s and a few signs down so I’m not even sure I’d be able to create a sentence lol
Do both and let them know you are learning :)
There was a hard of hearing women who came into my work and she used to come to me cos I understood what she wanted and how to accomadate for her
i work in long term care and when I met a Def person I would write down my questions and then have them sign the questions so I could learn how the next time.
Your dog vlog appearance was AWESOME! Subscribed!
Hubby is HOH. We both come from different nationalities, ok I was born Indonesian and he is Irish. I was the one who ended up moving to Ireland. Sooo yup. At the end I learned 3 sign languages for him as well as he learned Bahasa Indonesia. It's been almost 4 years. Those SLs are: BISINDO (Indonesian SL), BSL (British Sign Language), and ISL (Irish Sign Language) just to broaden my knowledge since hubby came from NI. Plus... our own self-made languages made of chunks just for us 😁😁
Hubby can talk. Just doesn't sound as 'perfect' as others, sometimes I even learn to speak like him not to roast him but for him not to feel alone. That's where our own 'codes' came from.
All the best and you got this,
Steph x Phil 🤗
I found out about you from the recent East Bay Express article about you.
Love love love your videos! I'm 38 years young...and have single sided deafness, born with Microtia and Atresia. Many times I have to tell people I cannot hear you unless I can see you. Some people just don't get it. Part of me lip reads as well when I'm looking into their eyes...not sure why I do this. I feel a bit self conscience I guess and silly when I try focusing on their lips. Yet when they cover their mouths...say in a noisey environment...I cannot hear the speaker. Its weird. Another thing...I'd love to learn sign language should I loose my remaining ear...however I lost half of my right thumb in a work place accident...would this hinder any ALS signing. Lol My husband told me jokingly that should I learn to sign language..it would have a lisp. 😉😁
you're funny and super beautiful as well as your sister.
I came here after seeing Drew's video
As someone who talks fast, I’m very used to repeat myself, so I have no qualms if a deaf person asks me to 😂
Honestly I'm just worried that I'd be caught off guard and forget everything I know about ASL and need to start typing on my phone XD things like that sometimes happen in class, a classmate or the teacher will sign something I wasn't expecting and then my brain shuts down and I can't understand what they're trying to say. It happened today, I'm pretty sure I caused a bit of a misunderstanding when I accidentally signed "birthday" instead of "favorite" (they're very similar here, idk if birthday is one of the signs that is different in different parts of the US), the girl I was talking to understood what I meant, (I was trying to ask what her favorite class was) but I think all my teacher noticed was that I had signed "birthday" and thought I was saying it was my birthday or something?
you will be caught off guard sometimes I am lol! But other signers don't mind as long as they see you trying :)
I have auditory processing disorder. A lot of background noise doesn’t help. For the times it’s an issue, I find facing & being able to see the person helps.
New sub from Stella's channel'
Hi. I saw your video with Drew Lynch. One of my pet peeves is when people assume that since I know ASL that also makes me an interpreter. There's a difference between having a conversation with someone and translating a church sermon. What are your thoughts on that?
YESSS!!!! I always tell people that I know enough to have a conversation, but not enough to interpret! Interpreting takes a lot of work!
Here cuz of drew x
Great video.
I know for me I try to make sure my mouth says the words right due to the fact I've spent most my life hardly using my lips/mouth like I should when I talk and this has caused many people to tell me I'm mumbling. But, is it noticeable when a person does that as well? I definitely don't want to come off as an A-hole. =)
Snapchat Ashley I'm sure you won't come off as one :D
Have you ever had this issue? I was at the Audiologist and they asked me to take my hearing aids out and they turned around and started to talk. I couldn't even hear them. I asked them "what?' and it seems like they wanted me to hear what they were saying but, I am severly HOH. They repeated themselves but i dont think they realize in there head that Im a deaf person and i cannot hear.
Love the videos. my grandkids and I would like to learn ASL. What's the best way to learn? books? thank you.
Start with the ABC's then try this channel! ruclips.net/user/billvicars
I like using ASL Pro website.
My area where I live doesn't have a big deaf community and I love sign language but I never get to use sign language so I want to meet more deaf people and have more deaf friends .... any tips?
I just discovered your channel so perhaps you've covered this and I just haven't found it. I work in retail and have a couple regular customers that are deaf. I know some basic asl but would love to know specific signs needed during a checkout process so I can communicate better.
Check these videos out! ruclips.net/user/billvicarssearch?query=customer :)
Jessica Flores thank you SO much for taking the time to reply. I don't know if it's a server issue or what but when I click on that I get a "failed to load" error. 🤷🏼♀️
:( it works for me just type in "bill vicars customer service" on the youtube search!
I teach special education. Would you be willing to make a video to teach them some basic signs? I want to show my students that they can communicate with all different kinds of people.
You should check out bill vicars! He is where I learned ASL :) ruclips.net/video/ianCxd71xIo/видео.html
Thank you! I have been emailing with a deaf person for whom I am going to do some work. I primarily provide child care, but also special needs or disabled adult, elder and pet care services. She needs me to care for a loved one. I know she does not speak. I do not know if she lip reads, but she graduated with honors from a school for the deaf. To avoid making her uncomfortable I am preparing to meet her (e.i. videos like these). I included this in a recent e-mail: ”I look forward to meeting you. Let me know how you prefer to communicate in person with people who don’t know ASL (phone, laptop, pen and paper, lip reading and paper) and I’ll be prepared. If you are a lip reader, don’t worry, I won’t be over annunciating or yelling like that would help. I know people can be pretty silly when communicating with the deaf. I’m not the type of person to react that way. I know the only significant difference between you and I is how people treat us differently. You’ll see for yourself." Did I overstep? Should I have just waited for her cue? Or was it a good thing that I asked her how to be prepared for our first meeting? Opinions from deaf people would be especially appreciated since they deal with this all the time.
I think it was fine! I usually never have someone take the time to ask me that which I think was pretty cool of you to do! Let me know how it went or how it is going!
Unfortunately, as a hearing person I’ve made the mistake of talking louder📢😅 but that’s due to the fact that I’ve really only met HOH people who’ve just told me to speak up rather than to repeat myself or speak at a lower register (Jessica Kellgren-Fozard was saying it’s easier to hear lower register noises). Slowly but surely I’m learning!😊😊
I know some sign language, but I don't remember a lot anymore. Is it best to just write down to communicate or attempt to sign back?
Write things down, but if you remember any of the signs you learned you can use them too. If you forgot any words just ask who ever you are communicating with how to sign the word on paper and they'll remind you.
Came from drew
u funny
:)
Is that a real app that you are using? What is the name of it, this would be another great tool i believe.
It's called "large text" from android. Its pretty good, I feel like it could be better though!
Thank you so much Jessica. Its great to use. Seems it's easier if you don't talk, to have people understand you can't hear. Thank you again. I love your fun videos. Makes me smile. Thank you again
And if the person can't hear you, don't lean in and talk directly into their hearing aid. They don't work like that! And we make fun of you a lot for it :)
YESSS!!!!
hello muchacha,,, i am a neew subcriber ✋,,,
but I have a question,, diplomatic
,,,, how should I act facing a deaf person,,, should I feel sorry,,, o witch is the more polite face that you can give to them,.,,,, i met a couple,, deaf people,, but one of those speaks, and i know now,, that in not polite ask sooo many times,, why,, and why....... because, this spoken-deaf person could be very tired of telling the same Story again and again,,,,,,
so witch should be the emotion to show, or just simply try a new channel of communication?
Treat them like anyone else. Or treat us how you'd want to be treated.
Could you maybe discuss cochlear implants? I know you don't have one but any information might be helpful.
Yes at some point I'll get into it! But for now here is two other Deaf RUclipsrs who are talking about them :) ruclips.net/video/t8wc93fxo78/видео.html
Keep up to drown AGB group!
My brothers a little deaf
I hate it when deaf speaks with an English that I don't understand.
You are a deaf who can speak proper English
Over enunciating doesn't help at all.
A lip reader looks for consonant, but people tend to over enunciate the vowel instead.
I would rather have them speaking normally.
Just like u acually
