My questions are for someone who is or has been deaf and remember being deaf very well.
1) before you could hear language... What were your thoughts like?? Pictures?? Sign language??
2) -if you can now hear- now that you know sound, could you talk about silence (not hearing anything) vs quiet (always some form of sound)??
3) before you could hear what did you think sound was like?? In what ways was sound different than you imagined??
4) before you could hear, when a dog opened its mouth... What did you suspect was coming out?? What sounds shocked you??
5) were you able to comprehend or understand what sound was or what it was supposed to be??
6) if you learned to speak while you were deaf could you explain what that was like and how you did it??
7) do you like your voice?? Is it a part of your identity now like your eye color or your height?

or:I\u2019m deaf, and I will gladly reply to your question :)1. Interesting, not all the deaf people are same. My mother thinks in sign language, but I think in words personally.2. I can\u2019t hear, but I\u2019ve experienced hearing aid. Wearing it was a bit of shock to me, knowing there are different detailed sounds around the world.3. I thought it was more like a feeling, but I was wrong lol.4. The first time I heard a dog bark, I thought a demon was possessing him and he\u2019s satanic, nah. 5. Yes6. My school have a speech therapy, it was very frustrating, my speech therapist will critique me and tell me I\u2019m doing something wrong every time. It\u2019s hard, not knowing what you did wrong. (A lot of deaf people don\u2019t like speech therapy)7. Honestly, I\u2019m a bit embarrassed at my voice, sometimes I speak too loud or too quiet, sometime I blurt strange sounds. But I love my voice, and it was always my identity, each part of me is my identity.
