can deaf people hear themselves?
Nez13625
i don't mean to sound ignorant but my anatomy class has been assigned to find
this out. we think that yes deaf people could hear themselves talk because
sound is transmitted through bone-UNLESS there was some sort of nerve/brain
damage that caused the deafness.
any takes?
thanks in advance.

I can hear people shouting, but I can't hear myself, unless I am
wearing my hearing aid (which, in that case, I can hear everything).
I can only feel (without touching) the sensation of my voice in my
neck. However, when I am submerged in the water, I can hear
my voice. Go figure.

LOL! Do I need a doctorate in Deafness to qualify my comment?

You will probably find that those deaf people who do hear or feel some
of their own speech, will talk at a pitch that is nearest to their
best hearing frequency. People like my daughter have a greater
hearing loss at high frequencies. She hears low frequencies easier
(with aid) so her voice is quite low pitched. She can sometimes hear
me shouting up the stairs but never hears her mother (I have a low
pitched voice as well).

Same here, except that I can't hear people shouting unless my aids are in
and on and even when they are I can't make out speech without a lot of
luck and lipreading. Odd that thing about the water, because as far as I
am aware my deafness is sensorineural (sp?), yet I can get at least a
sensation of sound when my ears are full of water.

I'm profoundly deaf, and I can feel the vibrations when I talk, so in that
way I can 'hear' myself.
If I am in the bath and I submerge my head, but leave my face out, and then
talk, I can actually hear every thing I say and sing. Normally I cant hear
my own voice. Does that help?

Seriously it was an intesting question along the line of do blind people
dream in colour. What the mind sees and hears may not be what what is
actually out there. In the case of speach are you hearing the vibrations
or the thought in you head? In this case it appear to be the vibrations.

Same me too. If someone shout at me, I can feel vibrate or telepathy.
IT IS DEAF CULTURE WAY TO DO IT.
Deaf people did not stupid that with hearing's ignorant...
I look forward to hearing from you, shortly. Please don't hesitate to
contact
me the mail.

I got the following request over the wires from a young English woman who is
studying to be an ASL/English interpreter in the USA (it's a long story!).
She's asked me to pass on her request:
"Do you know of anyone in the Reading or London area who signs ASL? I was
wondering if you could help me as I am coming home for the holidays and would
like to keep up the practice! Can you help?"
If there's a native ASL user in the London or Reading areas who'd like to
respond, either contact me or contact her direct on <ENGC...@AOL.COM>
Cheers!

The same thing applies to me - my father "shouts" whereas my mother
"whispers".
I speak at a low pitch - just as well I'm a man!!

your ideas about bone conduction and nerve conduction are correct as far
as they go. The vast majority of deaf people have nerve deafness, also
known as sensorineural deafness, so it makes no difference whether they
are trying to hear their own voice or an external sound. If the deafness
is "conductive" due to problems in the middle or outer ear, then the
intact auditory nerve picks up the sounds via the bones with no problem.
what your question did not allow for is that many deaf people have some
hearing. It may not be enough to understand speech, particularly without
hearing aids, but if your question is then "can deaf people who have some
residual hearing hear the sound of their own voices" then the answer is
probably yes.
If you lose your hearing completely after you have learned to speak, as
my husband did, you can no longer hear your own voice, and it can be very
difficult to speak at an appropriate level of loudness. In addition, you
cannot hear if your patterns of speech become altered. Deafened people
sometimes have a rather characteristic way of speaking, with slurring of
sounds and a loss of intonation.
I hope this helps

Yes, I'm in that category, very little hearing at all now, but due to
damage and gradual age loss, rather than congenital. Without any hearing
aids in, I can hear very little of my own speaking, or anyone else's.
I remember when I was beginning to struggle with hearing that I used to
speak more loudly than necessary, due apparently to adjusting my voice
until I could hear it myself.
With hearing aids in, the amount I hear varies with the volume of the
aids, so if I have them turned up high, I either speak less loudly, or
hear my voice booming through my head.
