Her signing seems to be crisp & clear.
Marlee, go, girl. I agree
I'm cochlear implant patient, I wasn't expecting these kinds of issues with opposition against cochlear implant technologies from the deaf community because I don't even know any of country based sign languages as the first language or mother tongue but instead my English speaking was a part of my first language. I started learning since after I got cochlear implant surgery when I was 2 years old due to gene issues lead to complete deaf in both ears. 😂
Until then, everything is going normal with my hearing experiences but still I do have different types of issues related to causes of (hard of hearing) or device problems in which can be addressed by many different types of solutions but however with the many observations where professor and engineers have learnt could improve their future technology in order to guarantee the normal hearing and prevent risks of surgery for all future deaf people to learn hearing easily instead of spreading the range of sign languages to deaf communities in wide group unnecessary despite of increasing rate of deaf in newborn/adults due to gene issues or many others, I'm just assuming it.🤔
Most importantly thing is that, in case if my device is not working, I use lip reading as second language as alternative ways to communicate or either use second temporary hearing device for emergency purposes.🆘️
She is beautiful 😍🤩
She can speak. I don’t know why she is just signing. She has a cochlear implant bc she wanted to hear her children.
I do find it a little heartbreaking when hearing parents will take that choice away from their deaf babies. Removing them from a culture just because they don’t want to work to be a part of that culture, it’s a really good way to ostracize your deaf child from the hearing and the deaf
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting the 5 senses we should have. Smh
She was featured in Quantico Season 3. Really loved her scenes.
I would rather have the cochlear implants then help others that want to hear music and their environment while teaching those that are still deaf my super cool way of doing sign language while deciding if they want to hear or not. I'm just saying.
This in credible! How can a person "sign" such complex words and phrases. INGENIOUS!
