Hello. So, I want to end Deaf Awareness Month,
with a bit of a fun video, another fun video.
And really just one of the questions that I've had in mind,
and that is, how the hell do you hearing people hear things?
OK. That might be a little bit of a bizarre question because,
I still have enough hearing to be able to hear some things,
like I can still hear myself talking.
Despite lots of people thinking that I don't.
And you know there are things I heard a couple of months ago
that I can't hear so well now.
But you know what, there are some things that,
I really don't remember hearing like ever.
So, we're gonna go over a list that I have.
Now, Mhairi actually did a video similar to this so I'm gonna
link that probably on a card, so you can go see her list as well.
We might have some similar things,
but I did try to think of a few things differently,
and also the things that we may have in common,
try to talk about it from my own experience.
And of course, I know that there are things
that I just I can't remember.
I mean like, I thought about it and then I want to go write it down,
but then I forgot to write it down.
Thus, I don't remember what they are and that's so frustrating,
because I know I had a couple of good ones
and my boyfriend also made some suggestions,
because I would talk to him and be like, what? But alas, here we are.
OK. So let's get started.
I wrote them down in my Hobonichi weeks,
the ones I remembered to write down.
So, one thing that has always been mind boggling to me,
is when people can hear other people from across the room,
across the room, across the house.
Like people can be in this room with the door closed,
and they'll still be able to hear the person like in the other room
with that door closed as well.
I truly don't understand, it's not even like they're just,
well, sometimes they're yelling at each other,
but sometimes it seems like they can just talk in a normal volume.
Not that I know what that is anymore.
I thought that I had a grasp on normal volume but apparently I don't.
And what I think is a whisper is now apparently shouting.
So, OK. How?
How can you hear people,
and have a casual conversation, with your door shut, their door shut,
from the opposite sides of the house?
I don't, I, I don't I don't understand your sorcery.
I don't think I've ever understood the sorcery.
I do not remember ever being able to have a conversation with anyone
that is that far away.
And sometimes it's not even like facing in their direction,
it's just they'll be completely behind you
and it's supposed to be even tougher,
and I'm just like, really?
I mean, I think there are still some circumstances,
when someone might be like at the other side of the room
and I might be able to hear some sort of noise,
but I have no idea what it is. It's like once.
It's like one word and everything else is just quiet. I don't get it.
I don't get it. You all are,
you all have bat hearing. OK. I don't get it.
This is the thing that inspired me to make this video.
And that is laptop keyboards.
This is all because, Andrea, my friend Andrea made a tweet,
about how she had to move to a different room,
with her laptop to not wake up her roommates,
because she had to work and they had to work whatever,
but she had to work right there and then.
So, she moved to a different house
or to a different part of the house with her keyboard,
so they couldn't hear the keyboard.
She had to move to a room with her laptop,
so they couldn't hear the keyboard that's what I'm saying.
How? Now, mechanical keyboards I understand.
I understand. I can, well actually I don't know if it's
that I can hear the mechanical keyboard, like actually hear it.
Or if it's just the vibrations making me think that I can.
I don't know.
I know, (LAUGHS)
when I first got this,
I think I could hear it and now I'm like,
I don't know if I can hear it anymore. I think it's just memory.
I think it's the memory of being able to hear and all the vibrations
are playing with my brain, I don't know.
So, that I can understand because it has some,
something to it.
I wanna say it has some bite to it. But whatever, I don't know.
Now, also this might sound silly, it'll sound silly.
I'm like how do things make noises? I know things make noises.
I'm a very good science person, like I understand that
when you hit something it makes a noise because you hit it.
But though, it's just a mind boggling thing to me.
It's like one of the things that you can't explain,
you know things make noises.
Every single one of these things I know that they make noises.
But just moving on, birds.
More specifically, you know when the hearing folks are complaining
about birds on a Saturday morning and they're trying to sleep,
and the birds are outside of the wall,
like probably feet away.
I imagine my trees right now are about,
the length of ten people
that are on average 6 feet.
5'5 to 6 feet. I'm just guessing here
And somehow,
people can hear birds tweeting and waking them up,
I know when I did that hearing aid video,
that I could hear the birds but that's directly into my ear.
I don't understand how people can hear birds.
I think the only birds I ever remember hearing,
are like crows.
Like I would be outside and there'll be a crow,
and I could hear that.
But regular, everyday birds.
You know what I mean.
I just, I don't remember ever hearing them,
and I don't understand how anybody can.
The stove/microwave timers.
I don't remember ever hearing them ever.
I remember when I was
at my ex's apartment a couple years ago in Toronto,
and I accidentally had the timer
going forever.
I completely forgot about it. I don't think I was cooking,
I think I was just doing something,
and I couldn't hear it.
Until he picks it up and he's like, hello!
And I'm like, what?
And he put the timer directly to my ear,
and I couldn't hear a damn thing.
It's apparently shrieking and I can't hear it.
Granted it's a high pitch timer and I've always said that,
I don't do high pitches at all, I can't hear them.
The only high pitch I can still maybe hear,
sometimes on a good day is a church bell,
from this one specific church. That's all.
That's all I could really hear, sometimes on a good day.
But I could not hear that kitchen timer,
right at my ear.
And recently,
I was snapping my boyfriend and I had the TV on,
at almost highest volume,
and I was near my TV,
and I accidentally had the stove
timer going off. I was eating my food,
so my stove was off, just the timer was on.
And he was like,
you got your microwave
or your stove on?
And I'm like,
how? My TV is so loud.
It's at the point where I can barely hear it.
It was at almost highest volume,
and I could barely hear the TV.
But you can hear,
the timer
in the kitchen that's farther away.
He's like, it's loud.
I'm like, ooh!
Another thing
that involves microwaves and kitchens, popcorn.
So, one day I really, really want to do a skit about popcorn,
deaf people and popcorn.
And it never happened.
I did one about the mail man.
You know, when deaf people are waiting for the mail man but,
and I had the popcorn one in my mind,
but I just couldn't think of how I really wanted
to do the skit, and filming it was hard.
You know how all the directions is like listen,
so, you know when the popcorn is done,
and I'm like, yeah I know it's in the Deaf handbook
to burn your popcorn. It is.
You know you're deaf when your popcorn burns. That's it.
And I don't mean tiny, tiny burns, I mean it's
like a mine in your popcorn bag.
I've gotten away with the regular sized bags,
but I have a
100 calories snack size thing,
and I put it in
for the directions that said about a minute, a minute and a half.
I put it in for a minute,
because I always like to do my...
I always like to make the timer be like 30 seconds less at first,
because yeah,
I think it's smart for me to do that,
and it still burned so badly,
because I can't hear when it's done.
How do you, how do you know?
What sound does it?
I'm guessing the kernels stop popping,
Is that what it is?
The kernels stop popping, but like I don't know. I don't know.
I still wanna do that skit one day,
but I just, I don't. I don't know how to do that.
I don't know what to make the skit look like.
This one kind of goes with the very first one but footsteps,
like people can hear when people are walking.
Like for example,
if I'm at a hotel or like if I'm in somebody's apartment,
people can hear people in the hall,
walking.
Like when I was at Buffer Festival once upon a time
or when I was at Playlist, like last year.
I was also this year but I was sick the whole time, so I was stuck in bed.
But people are like, man,
I can't sleep because these people outside of my,
my door, you know just in the hallway in general,
and you know they're complaining on Twitter and they're like,
these people are just walking back and forth,
and I'm like how the hell did you hear that?
It's so peaceful in this room. I can't relate.
Except for that one time,
when it turns out it was my friend's group of friends.
They were ringing my doorbell and I had the accessible room.
I had the deaf room,
So, my room's flashing. I'm like, what the hell is going on?
Because I wasn't expecting anyone, I was not expecting anybody.
If you don't text me that you're coming over,
I'm not going to the door. So that freaked me out a little bit.
It was also 3:00 in the morning, I was sleeping.
So, anyway those are just a few things that I had on my list.
I know I had more. I feel like there's one that I'm thinking of,
that was really, really good and I just,
I can't remember what it was, I'm so sad about it.
if I can remember. I'm gonna try to write it down,
and then include it,
in like a comment or in the info box somewhere.
So, to you, fellow deaf or hard of hearing person.
Let me know of something that is just mind boggling to you.
Something that you just don't understand
how hearing people can hear it. (LAUGHS)
I'm amazed. I'm truly amazed because I just,
I realized the only thing that I can really hear,
at a normal volume,
by normal volume I mean, that's loud enough for me to hear.
My version normal, my new normal is like myself,
because it's, and the train outside my gym.
But other than that,
I don't know.
Again, I know everything pretty much
makes a sound.
So, it's kind of like well, yeah.
Why? Of course, people can hear those things if they have hearing,
but still, it's like, it's, it's just, it's just,
it's just an experience for us who can't hear these things very well.
Anyway, I thought that was a fun little video we can just laugh about,
(indistinct)
