What happens if your born blind and deaf?

A deafblind person won’t usually be totally deaf and totally blind, but both senses will be reduced enough to cause significant difficulties in everyday life. These problems can occur even if hearing loss and vision loss are mild, as the senses work together and one would usually help compensate for loss of the other.

What language do people who were born deaf and blind think in?

Hearing-impaired (also referred to as deaf) people think in terms of their “inner voice”. Some of them think in ASL (American Sign Language), while others think in the vocal language they learned, with their brains coming up with how the vocal language sounds.

What is the difference between being born blind and deaf?

Whether or not a person was born blind, deaf or went blind or deaf a long time ago also makes a difference. Someone who is born totally blind cannot visualize images. Someone born totally deaf cannot conceive of sound. Both totally blind and deaf people can conceive of sound and images in different ways though.

How do deaf/blind people communicate with each other?

Deaf/blind people communicate by sign language. The person speaking will use sign language while the other person would put their hands over/on the speakers hands. This is a very complicated and delicate way of speaking to each other, but to be honest, there isn’t any other way. A blind person can hear and speak, a deaf person can see and sign.

Can a deaf person conceive of sound?

Someone born totally deaf cannot conceive of sound. Both totally blind and deaf people can conceive of sound and images in different ways though. Some deaf people have visual associations with sound (such as moving lips) and also an association with vibrations.

Do blind people have supernatural senses?

Basic answer: Yes. Consider a person who is blind. Since there is total impairment in one sense, the person’s other senses develop greatly. This is a proven scientific phenomenon. Similarly, one can expect a person who was born deaf, blind and mute would have other supernatural senses, especially touch and taste.
