    • Yeah this is really common especially from people who grew up in English-speaking households where they learned to speak English and their signing was more signed exact English (SEE) than true ASL. A lot of Deaf people who grow up in those situations are also prone to code switching which is when they change the grammar of their signing to be more english-based if somebody who doesn't sign or doesn't sign well approaches. It's almost entirely unconscious and sometimes they'll even say the words or partially say some of the words as a way to, again, unintentionally help the person that doesn't know sign. Im a first year deaf studies major so what I'm saying is just what I've learned, of course not everyone does this and I'm not an expert.

    • This makes sense! I dont sign but when I trained my dogs i used typical and gestures all the time, pointing when I said "go over there", or palm facing down when saying "lay down." And now sometimes when we have company over, if i just gesture to my dogs - so as not to interrupt out guest talking - the dogs understand what I mean.

Unfortunately, my mom has really loud sneezes and she couldn't always warn me about those XD If it helps, sensitivity problems often get less severe with age!

  • Not meaning to be offensive-honestly!-but even being deaf doesn’t mean we don’t need to be aware of what time it is before using power tools late at night. Just saying that I don’t think Ellen is being “ignorant” to run to the garage to quiet the screeching drill at 1 a.m. No one wants sleep-deprived, hostile neighbors, so it’s pretty important not to, like, mow at 6 a.m. or use a power saw at midnight or whatever. We had a neighbor once who didn’t even like our son to shoot hoops after 10 or so (not with friends, just alone). The pound-pound-pound of the dribbling kept him awake. Granted, a tad over-sensitive in our minds, but we did comply b/c the guy was otherwise very kind, he did have to work in the mornings, and we didn’t want tension. Besides, if it bothered him, maybe it bothered others, so hoops stopped at 10.🤷🏻‍♀️

  • I think a really good way to fix this problem (if you're determined to), is to install a variable noise-reactive light that flashes when it hits its limit. You could even plug it in with a power switch timer, so it powers on automatically after 10 PM. A red one would probably be best. So as the noise gets louder, the light gets more red. When it reaches a certain threshhold, it'd start flashing.

  • Since Ryan is deaf, has he ever gotten scared from someone tapping him on his shoulder? For example, if I'm in the zone listening to music or a video and don't notice someone is tapping my shoulder it can scare me. Is Ryan used to it so it doesn't bother him as much or can it still scare him if he is in the zone say working on his car?

  • I love this channel! As someone who's learning BSL it's really interesting to see where BSL and ASL overlap. I was wondering if you'd ever come across the Deaf West theatre company? They staged a production of the musical Spring Awakening that went to Broadway and featured both deaf and hearing performers, and there was also a production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame that had a deaf actor playing Quasimodo (which actually makes a lot of sense because the character was deaf in the original novel). If you haven't seen either of those, could you maybe do a "Sign Duo Reacts" video? There's loads of clips on KZhead from both productions :D

  • I love your channel! It’s just so interesting to learn about the dynamics of your relationship and about the differences and similarities between being hearing and deaf. I love ASL - have been trying to teach myself - and your videos also give me a chance to practice my comprehension. I also love people and learning about individuals and how they experience the world and your channel is great in this capacity, too! It’s fascinating to learn about the things I wouldn’t have thought about - different aspects of being hearing, deaf, and/or both sides of a relationship like yours! It gets me thinking and I love that most of all!

It honestly warms my heart the effort they both make to be respectful & understand how the other feels when it comes to situations like these.. how she was saying that you’re used to hearing so if you hear a loud noise you assume everyone hears it... I felt that.

  • 2 questions. I’ve noticed in your videos that if you’re holding something in one hand (camera, food, whatever) you still sign with the other hand. How do you modify them (if at all) to make them understandable? Also, do you guys ever feel judged or like people are staring in public because you’re signing? And if so how do you deal with this? Love you guys!! ❤️

    @midnight0622@midnight06224 жыл бұрын
    • I'm hearing but sign a lot with my friends and whenever I/we are holding something, first as deaf culture its more appropriate to put the object down-similar to not talking with food in your mouth. but if you can't @ashtynX is right, you usually sign with the dominant hand. if you can still move the hand but not make hand shapes you just move the hand to the location for the sign and usually its still understandable. There isn't a huge amount of signs in ASL (different in other sign languages) that need both hands or else it doesnt make sense. if it is more complex statement and you need both hands to explain then you just have to put the object down. but many signs that use two hands the hands are mirroring each other so one hand is usually, although maybe awkward, adequate to get the point across.
