I know a blind skier, he has a headset and headphones and gets constant feed from a mic that his dad wears. His dad skis behind him, and gives him the quick n dirty on what's going on around him. It's pretty cool, actually

Actually no, it's the "hard of hearing" subs, that also add all off screen sounds such as:

-Hey, Tom!
-Oh Hi, Ted!

etc.

i have skull candy's hear just fine like everything in a music. i was profound deaf at birth, i sign and talk too. took therapy for 14 years to be able to talk, it was rough. frew up mainstreamed with hearing people, and now attend RIT which has a large deaf community. although sometimes i dislike deaf people because of their attitude, but what can i say? im deaf as fuck too. you guys should just chill off the deaf jokes, we're normal just like you guys.

my nickname back in high school was mos deaf hahah or deaf jam

fucking freaking immature, they like to yell obnoxious sounds, they like to haggle and bargain everywhere they go even tho they're spoiled by the US government (me too). they get PISSED off at people who are deaf and are able to talk... they call themselves their own "culture" all because of asl (american sign language) i call deafness a disability not a fucking culture. nowadays its improving, there are more mainstreamed deaf people, the deaf institute has been in a recession of students. the HARDCORE deaf people, by the time they get into college their education level is like middle school, no kidding. If you go to RIT ull see the hardcores camp in the dorms and just chomp down on food and play world of warcraft all day skipping classes.

im not talking trash of my own like, im just stating facts.

ok haha poeple ask me this all the time, yeah im deaf. one time i had my skull crusher playing ac/dc hells bells crossing the border into canada, the patrol stopped me and talked to me. i was playing dumb, pulling the deaf card acting like i didnt understand them, (really i did, i read lips like very well, all those years of speech therapy really takes a toll of how much you look at the lips of people and understand what theyre sayin) anyways the patrol had asked me how the hell can i "hear" music? well its all vibrations, sounds are vibrations i can FEEL it anywhere i go, yeah in my head everything is mute, a freaking silence. doesnt bother me because i can still "hear" through vibrations. i wear 2 kinds of headphones skullcrushers and those shoe headphones, i can hear clearly with the shoe ones, and the skullcrushers are awesome because of the bass that blast out on full crank like a nigga in a caddy playin some g music. only in my left ear im like 94% deaf in that ear and still can hear it. the right ear is gone, cant hear jack shit. so basically sounds are vibrations. going completely deaf makes your other 4 senses such as see, feel, smell, taste A LOT more aware. for me feel is the same as hear, since you have all these hairs in your ear that picks up sounds, it basically means that the hairs FEEL the vibrations. so yeah there you go

Okay. I only have little experience, there were three deaf skaters at my skatepark like 8 years ago, and they were always full o' smiles. Got into a couple of bad situations if they happened to bump into someone and just smile and nod while the normal-hearing kids would start shouting "What the fuck, look where you're going!" and stuff like that.

Wait you can hear music through conduction of vibrations through your head? That sounds fucking sick.

When they read, assuming they read silently, it must require saying the words in their mind. but how do they say the words?! they never heard them, do they think in sign language?! this question has bothered me for quite some time....people born 100% deaf or go deaf before learning to speak, how do they think?

not just through my head, through my body, my fingertips, toes and all the hair, pubes whatever they pick up the vibrations. even tho, when i'm not on the ipod or anything, i can make up music in my head without any distractions especially when i'm high thats the best part, everything is music to me.
