Who else was waiting for the plot twist? I thought she dumps him because his voice sounds like a drowning pig in panic or so... :'D

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 50 points 2 months ago

After my girlfriend gained the ability to smell, she dumped me. She hates roses now though

[-] rbn@sopuli.xyz 21 points 2 months ago

How do you suddenly gain that ability? Are there implants for smell as well? Or did they extract some lego bricks that she stuffed up her nose as a kid?

might've recovered from long COVID

If someone is deaf from birth and gains hearing from implants later in life, you whisper in their ear and they can't see your lips they won't understand because they have never heard the audio before. Is this correct?

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 97 points 2 months ago

Yeah. Unless she is only partially deaf or had hearing before and lost it, she won’t understand him.

[-] Whirlygirl9@kbin.melroy.org 54 points 2 months ago

or he may have signed while saying it.

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 22 points 2 months ago

I think it would be instinct by that point.

In the beggining he said after a while she noticed or something like that so it means she had partial hearing loss.

Yes, but it’s not just deaf from birth people. Your brain has to wire itself to understanding the signals from the implant

I like to think based on how this story is worded she always had implants but never knew to turn them up

[-] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 49 points 2 months ago

what if we all have implants but never knew how to turn them down?

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 48 points 2 months ago

a screwdriver does the trick, its a one time adjustment though

So it’s fake because 4chan. But also it’s fake because even if you’re late deafened you need to learn how to hear after getting cochlear implants.

Also because it’s rare for adults fluent in sign language with a supportive network to choose CIs unless late deafened

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

what if they're both fat

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 months ago

This is fake, but not gay.

Maybe it was a bit much to ask that during such an emotional moment? I mean, let the woman decide when she has her wits together..

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 35 points 2 months ago

I never expect when greentexts hit right in the feels.

[-] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 months ago

Never knowing what to expect is the fun part of reading greentexts.

[-] sweetpotato@lemmy.ml 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This is really cute, but the first thing you should've said to her is the cheesy pick up line from the day you met her.

[-] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

"So, as I was trying to say..."

Guy love deaf girl. Girl hearing fixed. Guy say he love her.

Hears her Mom for the first time... which means she's never heard words before... how the fuck does she know what "I love you, please marry me" is supposed to mean? It's just a jumble of new, incomprehensible sounds...

Being able to read and write doesn't mean you can understand spoken language, or speak.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Deaf people know how to read lips to understand people who don't know sign language. Also "hears for the first time" might be an embelishment in the story - lots of people are partially deaf and can hear something, just not enough to understand the words and they revert to lip reading.

"just a little better" probably an understatement
