As deaf myself, I took speech therapy. The British speech therapist taught me how words are formed using tongue position and remind me to vocalise by touching my chest. It is like training your muscles and being more aware of it especially those silent sounds. Hearing people naturally learn to speak by hearing it and they form a sound. We deaf could not do it. The therapist said I often missed out silent sounds like t sh ch d f v b p... He told me how the mouth and tongue form. At first sh and Ch sounds the same to me. I put sh and ch same way. They told me that the position of tongue is different for sh and ch. ch position the tongue on roof of mouth behind teeth. Then flicker it down to create ch. ch is shorter than sh. So it comes a long training and memorising and getting used to it. As for my voice- I have to take singing lesson to learn to vocalise over and over again to learn to project my voice. As a deaf, we are very conscious of how we sound. So it has been a deliberate journey for us. If you want to speak more, it takes practice and get used to it. Don’t be afraid of how you sound like. And people you love or who loves you will help you to correct it. A therapist will help. However, you are very loved by your dad who learned sign language for you. No one does that for me. I learned to speak when I was really young. I went therapist to therapist and finally found the one who helped me to develop technique to correct myself.

I hope you ll find people in your life, who ll learn to sign for you, your future friend, a spouse. It is sooo much easier for a hearing person to learn signing then for a deaf person to learn speaking. And i am sure speaking is really draining for you. If i had a deaf friend or smth i d love to learn their version of a sign language. It s so cool to have your "private" language when you know mostly people around do not understand. Me and my husband met in thailand, none of us is thai, but we noth speak some thai. Sometimes when we re in the crowded place and we want to discuss smth personal we switch to thai. I really wish more people in your life who ll make an effort

That's so true, I'm trying to think how you could even imagine the vowell sounds coming out our mouths if you couldn't hear them... whispering reduces speech to mostly consonant sounds which are much less to do with voicebox (which you can't see) and more to do with mouth (which you can see) so it's obvious why deaf people would get whispering more accurate

Although even hand gestures would be more useful than spoken language (since I understand exactly nothing of what she says) or ASL (which I know a handful of words but not very many). This motivates me to want to learn more ASL :).

The best way I can describe what it's like as a hearing person to try to understand your speaking voice is by referencing color. A hearing persons voice could be made up of maybe 10 distinct colors that blend up and down in a gradient depending on their emotions and what they're trying to convey. People that are 100% deaf and have a voice similar to yours, sometimes sound as if they're speaking in only one or two colors that happen to look very similar such as blue and purple. So when listening to you speak for the first time, it can be hard to interpret because of how different it is from a hearing persons voice. But with a little time, it would be like your dad, and be much easier to understand.

So imagine trying to understand ' es, o ie i-i a a-a-a u ey o-y use o-es' You would need a ton of practice and then you'd still be partly just guessing what made sense to say. For me I basically don't understand anything she says at all, although after I see the subtitles if I go back and listen again I can see how they kind of match. But I wouldn't be able to guess what she was saying without them.

so true! When I start speaking english, many people told me about my accent, I didn't notice, :) and sometimes i was shy cuz I didn't know if someone could understand me. also repeat the same word trying to make it sound as perfect as posible. so I see your video and what your dad said. so true. I'm trying to learn asl and I'm get lost sometimes cuz they sign really fast. the same as learn any new language.

I remember when I was 6 years old. I was playing outside when a lady walking her two dogs was walking past my house. I ran up to ask her if I could pet her dogs and she responded using her deaf voice. I had never met a deaf person much less even learned what a being deaf is so I screamed and ran away because I thought she was some monster or alien type thing, I don’t know. Looking back at it I feel so terrible because it must’ve made her really uncomfortable and sad to involuntarily scare a child like that. I wish I could see her again and give her a hug and sign to her that I love you. Thanks for listening to my ted talk

I remember as a young boy the first time I heard someone speak to me with an electrolarynx (artificial voice box). While I didn’t run away, it frightened and startled me. I’m sure the man must have seen the look of horror on my face. I feel bad about that to this day as well. But I suppose people with such disabilities learn the difference between an unkind remark and a genuine misunderstanding coming from an innocent child.

She is profound deaf from what I can recall after watching numerous videos of her on IG and KZbin. And from what I can tell (and what I have gone through, I am hard of hearing but deaf without my hearing aids), she went to Speech Therapy in 7th grade, which she said was pretty late start for speech therapy. I started speech therapy when I was in 3rd grade and we use "read lips" and touching neck for vocals sound. We repeat those sounds over and over and over 'till we get it right. It'a tough! I highly recommend all audiologist sign ASL, almost all of the audiologist don't sign simply because they don't care (I've met those type of people) or was not educated about it.

I play football with 2 deaf people and in the beginning I didn't understand them at all but now we actually have good conversations. If you talk a bit slower and articulate more they can lip read really well and just don't forget to look at them when you're talking. As for understanding... that just takes practice and sometimes they will have words that are hard to pronounce as a deaf person and if I don't understand they will just write it down.
