Fact. Your sense of hearing is the last to go when you die. Therefore it's always encouraged to say something to those that are dying even if you think they can't hear you.

I suspect that it would partly depend on why you're dying. For example, an untreated vestibular schwannoma might knock out your hearing first, whereas decapitation might take out all your senses simultaneously.

[@gevangasteren]

Yes, thanks! There are more points here where I really can’t follow the logic… E.g. if she can’t grab the book from the front side, she’ll certainly never reach it from the other side, or in fact even spot it. And: he doesn’t need to go find the step, he can just take the book, he’s tall enough. I’m also doubtful that such intrusive voices can be completely blocked out by just a little music. And how doesn’t the teacher know about the student’s problem with voices, if this is already the mid-term test? It would come up during normal classes too. (The college should be human enough if they have sign language translation!)

[@eritain]

Deafness isn't all or nothing. There are degrees of hearing. That teacher was a dick, absolutely. But also, if your student needs a disability accommodation, he shouldn't have to DIY it, and it shouldn't be a surprise to you. Here's how it would go down at Ohio State. It's similar at other schools. Teacher has to allow reasonable time at the start of the term for students with disabilities to let him know and start arranging accommodations. Teacher has to state that time in writing in the course syllabus. Student can get Office of Disability Services support. ODS are familiar with commonly used accommodations, and they can recommend some (in consultation with the student), which means the student doesn't have to go educate every one of his instructors individually about all the details of his condition. A controlled sonic environment for taking midterms is a pretty normal recommendation. Normal enough that ODS can even provide that environment and proctor the test, if the student and teacher want them to. That would help settle any worries about an audio cheat sheet buried in the playlist or something. And if the instructor was uncooperative about making accommodations, let alone if he singled the student out in front of classmates for using something he needs, ODS has the institutional power to turn the screws on him as he deserves.

She had on a hearing aid on so I'm assuming she's deaf in one ear and the other ear has very minimal hearing by the size of the aid. The headphones were loud enough for her to hear in her hearing aid, you can see her lifting it away from the ear with the hearing aid This is because when people wear hearing aids with headphones the headphones scratch against the microphone causing a loud sound that distracts from the music I've been wearing hearing aids since I was five so I understand

What he is experimenting reminds me of what Huxley called soma effect in the “Brave New World” except that here the guy is wide awake. I am not sure it’s hallucinations/delusions as he doesn’t hear voices anymore when he listens to music. If it was an internal problem, music wouldn’t have solved anything about his problem as it would be an additional sounds coming from his own brain. So it’s seems external just as he perceived it. On the other side, there’s a deaf girl using hearing device. He hear too much, she hear too little, just like him, she is isolated from the “normal” world. Music being their common passion, pleasure. The reason why they met seems to be technology and sensory different experiences. Things that fall...from the sky

[@sarahr3813]

brandi minor The description says he is suffering with auditory hallucinations and schizophrenia. But actually, I agree with you, the film tells a different story, I see a man suffering with anxiety and low self esteem. The little voices representing his inner conflict, he want to succeed in his exams but he thinks that he is not good enough to perform compared to the others. The brutal way people treat him make it even worse. The music is the tool he uses to be less stressed, less overthinking about his possible fail. The description is using terms in a wrong way concerning his condition. I did the same ironically relating the sky to schizophrenia. It’s just words used improperly.

[@sarahr3813]

brandi minor brandi minor brandi minor Indeed, I never experienced auditory hallucinations nor schizophrenia. I am not either a psychiatrist. However, referring to the DSM-V criteria for schizophrenia, there are five different symptoms allowing the diagnosis and I only saw two of them in the movie : hallucinations and catatonic behaviour. No delusion, no disorganised speech, no negative symptoms. I am not sure two symptoms out of five are enough to establish a diagnosis. Besides, the guy showed signs of high stress level on the beginning. Look at his legs, his hands and later when he had to quit the auditorium, he looked clearly anxious. During the hallucinations, he experimented hyperacusis (the man chewing) or was it a part of the hallucination also? The video left me confused, that’s why I tried to reinterpret it more freely, in order to question it. Artists generally enjoy to play with the way things seems and the way things really are, maybe the purpose of the video is to spread awareness and encourage tolerance or maybe the purpose is to make people question themselves. If you can explain why you precisely think about auditory hallucinations and schizophrenia, I am interested about your point of view.

I believe its what telepathy is. All day we are ALL being bombarded with the same thing, the thing is that the majority of the population is far too distracted from all the crap in life to actually quiet their mind enough to hear them. One thing I think about it too is, when we hear a thought from someone else in our own mind, it's in the voice you consider to be your own, like when you think to yourself....did I remember to lock the door? The tricky part to telepathy is knowing your own thoughts well enough to recognize when a thought is your own, or when it's one you're hearing from someone else. The stronger bond you have with another person, the easier it is to hear when they're thinking of you. It took me years and a couple of really strange thoughts to figure this out! Once I had a thought of one of my brothers friends that I hadn't spoke too or thought of for years, and I was wondering why all of a sudden I couldn't stop thinking about him. A week later, I spoke with someone who was trying to remember this person's name and couldn't, I told her the exact time and date when she was trying to remember, it freaked her out pretty bad! I heard her thoughts because in her mind she was wishing she could ask me his name, I didn't hear that part, all I knew was the name, I couldn't tell that it was coming from her cause when I heard the name in my head, it was my own voice, not the sound of hers......does any of this make any sense? My point is......TELEPATHY IS REAL!!!! We all have the ability to do so, we are so distracted from knowing ourselves well enough to know that the 'voices' you hear are just telepathic connections from others in our lives. Tune OUT and you will be able to tune IN!!!! Its that simple.......

[@jeffffro7674]

Not everyone is completely deaf, Beethoven went deaf because of an illness and still had like 15 to 20 percent hearing left, he created all sorts of odd contraptions to funnel sound towards his ears, I don't know if they helped or not but if he had some of the headphones we have today, he would've been fine. Also yes, the vibrations are very powerful and if you tune in to them enough, you can make out what everyone else hears. The 1st couple years I played bass I wasn't very good of course, I was always around other people it embarrassed to be heard, so I played an electric instrument not plugged in. When I hugged it tight to my torso, I could feel every note I hit and if it was right or not. One of the 1st times I plugged in people were shocked at how good I was cause they never heard all the times I sucked, but I felt how bad I was while they were all talking and not paying attention. That's how Beethoven was able to compose such incredible pieces while being "deaf". At the time, everyone thought he was a genius cause he's deaf! How can he hear what he's playing/writing? Well, that and everything he did write WAS actually genius!!!!!

[@cas4040]

She’s wearing an ear piece and may even have a cochlear implant. She speaks very well, and the way they softened the beat would be as she could probably hear it. Vibrations, but also certain tones and years of life experience picking up on different intonations. I lost my hearing in my right ear 17 years ago, and that’s just how it’s been for me. Deaf doesn’t always mean silence. It can also mean weeding out the bad pollution noise, finding the sound in the darkness, but mostly just learning to hear differently than others. That’s exactly what the male protagonist needs to do as well.
