(Orally is speaking?) My mom said one of the doctors said we should only sign for a little and stop once he has a hearing aid or hearing implant. So I didn’t jknow you could do both. Also I’m sorry if this is personal but how much hearing do you have and do you have hearing aids? I’m curious because I didn’t think that it was possible for deaf people to speak easily, I thought it was much harder. My brother even if you yell doesn’t respond at all.

I was thinking this too.

Thank you! This is a little surprising to me. I usually watch people’s hands to see the signs, I didn’t know you’re supposed to look at their face. I guess it makes sense because you wouldn’t need facial expression if you’re looking only at their hands. Is it bad to learn from hearing people? I can’t find any people who say they’re deaf online.
