You're *right*. Bad Deafie! You're no longer a member of the club if you speak. Turn in your membership card and leave in disgrace. No refund of dues, either. If your ears don't work, everyone KNOWS you can't speak - so quit fooling yourself. You have no right to speak at all.

(And if you can't read the sarcasm in this post... puh-lease!)

Oh mbrek :bowlol:
 
I use my voice since i was a toddler but didn't speak very well. I speak one short word at a time . Not smooth or missing some pronounce vowels.

any person who knows me for a long time and understand my voice. Like my kids'. I think my kids are the only one who understand me better than my parents. :lol:


Just go at your own pace using your voice and find your own comfort zone of your voice. Put your two fingers on your neck where you can feel the vibration that makes sound. :) just relax and focus on your own, not anyone's.
 
Just for anyone maybe wonder, I not think is possible learn speak now. One word wonder. Lol.

I always voice-off whole life. Born deaf, no cochleas, no sound at all. No concept phonetics. Years speech therapy small child, never learn speak (never want learn).

Recent, think possible want learn voice-on. Not want use always, maybe nice have option? Sister teach me say Mama recent...mom so happy she cry. Maybe learn more, she happy more?

Questions ---

Mama very hard learn say, sister say m,a simple sounds learn. It will be very hard learn complicated sounds? Words?
Feel maybe like betray decision be voice off?

Any of you decide go voice on adult age? How work?

I don't know much about it but I wish you luck. :)
 
Aw I can just imagine how your Mom's heart felt hearing you say mama. I don't think you should feel you are betraying anyone or anything. If you want to give it a try, you should. We set the rules for our own lives ... and yes those rules can change as we grow or experience new things.
 
:wave: Sunny I think the words are an imperfect and not always useful way to get love message, either from or to. If your mom loves herself first, then she can know that you love her. If she is unhappy in herself <and I'm making that part up> then nothing you or anyone else does will make any difference.

true Love had no opposite
