Hi!
So you have a ‘lot’ of videos where people hear the voice of their parents or anyone else for the first time.
Presumably they were born deaf. What’s the process of actually understanding what is being said like?
In: Biology
I’m essentially guessing here but if they can’t read lips I’d say no, but many who are deaf can read lips. Verbal language is essentially a foreign language to them.
I’d say it’s comparable to if you tried learning braille (or sign language) right now, using a new sensation (I know you can feel your fingers but running them along dots will be new, close enough for the analogy) you’re connecting something to a language you already know it’s just a representation you have 0 basis for. You’ll probably figure it out faster than learning from scratch but it’ll take you a while to be practiced enough with feeling them to make everything out right and get all the letters and convert properly
