What I added was "100% deaf on both ears since birth." and look at the time, when I edited it. In doubt I hope the admin can see a history with previous versions. It was not. No one can be "20 or 40 years old". No one affected themselves asks such a question. Clearly hypothetically. And...

For me, as a hearing person... If I were to become deaf, I would even get an CI, if the sound were like they claim. I could understand most of the news instantly and if it becomes better over time, good. The results which CI's offer really convicted me. The human technique is astonishing...

My longer answer hasn't been approved by the moderator (yet). It was "clean", let's see... Hopefully it's not lost. Anyway... This video "Hear And Now" Trailer - YouTube at the beginning they say that they with age around 65 have heard never anything. And at 1:40 min they switch on the...

Strange. I have no such background. Would be interesting to know if other hearing persons share my opinion. I didn't pretend anything and stated the fact that I am not. And I wouldn't have been forced to tell. I could have pretended. No idea why you accuse me. It's also a pity if you feel...

Oh sorry if I left the impression, that I am personally affected. Actually I am a normal hearing person with great interest in that question. I am interested if it actually ever worked for someone. In comparison with seeing, visual acuity which a child never had before the age of around 5...

How does sign language compare with written or spoken language? Can sign language express everything written/spoken language can express? Vocabulary like... All possible? Also technical / language / jargon possible? Is sign language slower than written/spoken language? Or...

Your case is interesting, but not the one I am looking for. I'll edit my post to add that, I mean 100% deaf on both ears. Hearing wasn't a new sense to you. I haven't found any cases where both of their ears were 100% deaf for 20++ years from birth.

Someone never heard anything for their whole lifetime. But is now already, let's say over 20 or 40 years old. 100% deaf on both ears since birth. What does happen when they receive a cochlear implant? Can they learn to hear something or can't they hear anything? If they can't learn to...
