Who else was waiting for the plot twist? I thought she dumps him because his voice sounds like a drowning pig in panic or so… :'D

After my girlfriend gained the ability to smell, she dumped me. She hates roses now though

How do you suddenly gain that ability? Are there implants for smell as well? Or did they extract some lego bricks that she stuffed up her nose as a kid?

If someone is deaf from birth and gains hearing from implants later in life, you whisper in their ear and they can’t see your lips they won’t understand because they have never heard the audio before. Is this correct?

Yeah. Unless she is only partially deaf or had hearing before and lost it, she won’t understand him.

In the beggining he said after a while she noticed or something like that so it means she had partial hearing loss.

I figured that she noticed him visually, a shadow was cast or she saw movement. Anon also said that she heard her mom “for the first time” when she got the implant.

Taking all this into account, while the greentext seems to have avoided the first label of homosexuality, the verity of the story nevertheless has to be put into question.

Yes, but it’s not just deaf from birth people. Your brain has to wire itself to understanding the signals from the implant

How could you possibly know what a visual representation of a sound sounds like if you’ve never had the relationship between the two pointed out to you??

Reading lips is a visual representation of a sound. A teacher teaching you to read lips is only the relationship between two visual representations. Written word and moving lips. I think my point stands.

If your whispered in their ear, then yes, if you’ve never heard English you can’t understand it

I didn’t see that in the post - lip reading would still that gap nicely, as would signing and speaking at The same time

So it’s fake because 4chan. But also it’s fake because even if you’re late deafened you need to learn how to hear after getting cochlear implants.

Also because it’s rare for adults fluent in sign language with a supportive network to choose CIs unless late deafened

She would have had to learn to hear, learn to speak. Perhaps she couldn’t understand them, perhaps all the meaning communicated was in sign language
