That's actually pretty normal behavior for any child who is bilingual, even if they're 'fluent' in both. That one of the languages is signed isn't necessarily relevant.

I do recognize her, and I'm not "knocking on her". But appeal to authority is still a logical fallacy. Like the other people here, I don't think vlogs can (or should) be forced to be captioned; but I do think it's the right thing to do. I'm not hearing. I didn't grow up signing, but I am...

That doesn't necessarily make her right. In fact, it makes her site (and other vlogs) an echo chamber; whereas non-fluent signers like myself might be interested in what she has to say, the odds that we'll get her message are low. Which is a pity, because education will get the community more...

I'm well aware of that, and I do understand that posties tend to 'favor' oral approaches to some degree. But there's no call to tar us all with the same brush, even when you're getting excited about a specific group. That many posties choose to live in the hearing world doesn't mean they're...

I agree, and that's what I think he means. But I think those people that are disagreeing with him are interpreting it the other way. (Hence, my suggestion that it's the language barrier at play here.)

I think it's a language barrier here. People interpret what you've said elsewhere as "my daughter is [a] hearing [person]". I think many people would agree with the statement, "my daughter can hear, but is not hearing".

I just wanted to point out that those of us who are post-lingually deaf are also deaf. Our experiences may be different from yours; but we also live in the real world. You may feel that HE is 'tainted' by advice given by posties to parents of prelinguals (at which point I would disagree), but...

This gets posted pretty frequently around here. How about just posting the questions and seeing who answers? Once you've done that, then you can open a dialog. (Out of curiosity, which ITP?)

We're not really defining "lip reading". Are context and clozure "acceptable", or do we need to somehow eliminate those? What about facial cues in terms of emotion and so on? Perhaps that 50% is phonemic (graphemic? Visemic? Whatever the equivalent would be.) and the rest is based on...

Even people whose signing is relatively English wouldn't sign "the" or "is". (I won't speculate as to how to sign the sentence, though, as I'm far from fluent.)

Thanks, Jillio. I was hoping you might chime in at some point. One of our textbooks is by Saks (The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat), but I completely forgot that he had written Seeing Voices.

Sure it does! "Hey, you've got a sexy voice. I bet it'd be even sexier coming through this [gesture to the implant]" :giggle:

If a patient has heart bypass surgery, but then can't lower their cholesterol (due to behavior, poor genetics, whatever), does that make the surgery a 'failure'? There are a lot of definitions for failure, and not all of them are controlled by the company. For most medical procedures, there is...

Some audis deal mostly/only with patients who are oral deaf or HOH and don't sign themselves, so why bother? That said, several of the audiologists I worked with either signed, or used to sign until they moved to a practice that didn't have many clients who signed.

So, in my intro to psych class, the topic of Koko the Amazing Signing Gorilla! came up. I seem to remember that there were a lot of flaws in the way the experiment was done - lack of repeatability, lack of external verification, confirmation bias, researchers who don't sign fluently, etc. Can...

In addition to what R2D2 and SR171 said, you can remove the magnet (and then replace it post-MRI) relatively easily. Actually, my understanding is that it may even be safe to do it with the magnet in (you'd have to replace the magnet, but it wouldn't injure you), it's just not common practice...
