I can't believe parents of deaf children don't learn the language, when I sit here, in a different countyy, in a tiny village with no deaf people nerby, trying to remember and repeat as many signs as possible from your videos, just so I don't need to look at the subtitles so much. (i also watch some youtubers signing in my language, but I just found a lot of Deaf/hoh British content creators I enjoy)

Apparently alot of the old school parents ie my parents generation didn't learn Auslan (Australian dignity language) or any form of sign language. I have a friend who is deaf his parents didn't learn but he is very verbal and quite clear too. He can also sign.

It's brilliant that you all can sign. I looked after a deaf child in the school that I work in. He is now 7 and unable to talk or sign. His family wouldn't learn to sign because they think he will talk. I paid for a level 3 bsl course to support him the best I could before he went to a deaf unit with level 1 and 2 Teachers which is not enough! Its child abuse to fail your child like that and know that he can not tell you about his day at school because his mum and dad can't sign and couldn't understand what he was signing. You are an amazing family and I love watching your videos, I hope I never forget how to sign!

It was great to see your Dad talk about the importance of learning BSL to communicate with you at a young age. Clear communication is so important between deaf and hearing and BSL can make a huge difference. I am hearing and my wife is profoundly deaf, a BSL user. Our relationship became stronger when i started signing. When your Dad described your confidence, that reminded me of my wife. You are an inspiring young lady. Thanks for sharing 👌😁

I did not know so many hearing parents don’t learn sign language!! I was deaf as a baby too but as I got older it improved and I’m now hard of hearing. I was so lucky, my parents learned level 1 bsl for me and also taught me! Thanks to that my English language skills improved in about 3 months! (I think, it was pretty quick anyway!) It was lovely meeting your dad, his signing is really good! xx

I am 60! I was born Deaf and I was in Bombay, India. Both my parents decided to moves to London so Mum learned how to help me with my speech and I used to wear huge headphone 🎧 and learn to speak. Now my mum is 87. She never used BSL which was sad but that was in the 1960s so jazzy is young and probably be born in 1998? So that time, it was the start of deaf awareness maybe? Or maybe not. God bless! I am grateful for what my mum did for me. I am amazing at lip reading, I can speak, I can use BSL/SSE. I was in the Scottish Parliament when the BSL Act 2015 passed!

Let the hearing gene be D(dominant) and the deaf gene be d (recessive) If Mom has Dd and Dad has Dd , The four options are DD(completely hearing gene) , dd(completely deaf gene) and two Dd genes (hearing but carries deaf gene) This is what causes genetic deafness So Jasmine got dd and Holly got DD or Dd(she has a higher chance of carrying a deaf gene)
@lijohnyoutube1012 жыл бұрын
For those not following the genetics the percentages would be DD 25 percent, dd 25 percent and Dd 50 percentage for odds.

Thank you for sharing your story. I was born deaf and attended many hearing test around 6 months old to 12months old until the last one they were pretty serious and decided to referral to my ENT specialist. My parents decided for me to have my cochlear implant in 2003 after my third birthday. It was a big surgery which i do agree with you. I have a big scar compared to 2011 when i had my second one done. I did not learn how to use the sign language and i tend to use the gesture before i can speak when i had my first switch on for the first time. It took me many years to be able to speak fully. You are amazing Jazzy!

My sister ( born late 1970s) started speaking soon after speech therapy came at 18 months, so then she was never introduced to sign language. I think my parents thought or they were advised to avoid it for better integration into society. She is also profound deaf but was mainstreamed. She did extremely well, best of her class, just with lipreading accommodations. I can see it could be a risky strategy but worked well in the end.

Ahhhh. I also cried because I was too overwhelmed when we had my BAHA switch on. It was too loud for me too so we asked them to turn it down...... and I can hear out of one ear! I can’t imagine what it must be like going straight from no sound to all sound, I went from about half sound to all sound and even just THAT was too much at once. After watching next part of vid: The thing that got me when I first used my hearing out in the big wide world was at school the sound of the teachers laptop whirring at the front of the classroom. I remember staying behind for a moment at the start of lunch and asking her what the sound was because I was worried that my hearing was making it and it was broken! When she told me I said ‘wow, that’s amazing’ and she said ‘it won’t take you long to find it very annoying’.......she was right!

I LOVE THIS VIDEO - I’m in the EXACTLY shoes as you!!!! Ofc little different experiences- I was born hearing (and I’m oldest) - that was fact because my mom play piano whole time and I responded when I was born anyway I became deaf about 6 months old (unknown causes - suspected with some kind of genetic) and was diagnosed deaf at 1 and half years old - my parents ofc was shocked and upset - cried and all but just right after the doctor meeting they went straight to bookstore and brought asl book then when got home I was pointing something at the kitchen cabinet they frantically got the book and picked me up and I got a can of peaches so they looked up how to sign peach and taught me - thus my first sign word was “PEACH” lol and they all learned asl and went to local community college and took classes and I have younger hearing sister also signed before she speak! My mom and my sister currently work as an asl interpreter! I never really wanted cochlear implants and told my parents that I wanted to stop wearing hearing aids when I was about 11 years old I knew I’m stone 100% deaf - never hear any sounds and I was happy with who I am! Oh also my parents LOVE music - my dad sings and my mom play piano so they also was sad but they all knew that I can still feel the vibration and I always love to feel the piano when my mom plays! So that’s SO MUCH similar as your experience! So sad that many hearing parents don’t bother to learn new language and we both are blessed!!! So glad to see someone else going though same experience as me!! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

It's wonderful video of you and your affable father and it's fantastic that you share it with us, thank you. A million of deaf people has distinct hearing abilities and especially the importance of communication skills including sign languages. Your father mentioned about Connenix 26 and I never heard it before. I was born in 80's and am only the one that I am profoundly deaf. I am unsure if I had Connenix because my hearing parents didn't know how to speak english. There were no digital technologies in the old days and it was difficult time for me. I learned the consist of sentences and words from a few hearing friends when I was young in all three non-deaf schools, it was quite pretty lonely. I never had any speech therapy sessions. Phonology methods (phonics letter sounds) is extremely helpful and it does help me to recognise all range of sounds and how to pronounce the words. It could be hard at first and take a while but a self pronunciation will eventually become easy. I can able to speak and listen adequately (I still have the problems with silent letters). I understand why all parents are cogitating on their children's life in the future. Stay safe and see you in next video.
