Interesting replied from yahoo answers (answers.yahoo) as I was looking for a reason why hearing people keep thinking deaf people can talk and they feel that they are duty to training us to able to speak. Somehow I found this answer related to Singing. If that comment is true then why hearing people spend millions of dollars to get deaf people to speak and knew that deaf people will never able to sing? Its something that we can think about the contraction by hearing people who pursue deaf people to speak. Odd enough, I dont feel oppressed from that comment, but a uplifting with proof that its wasteful for deaf people to attend speech therapy. I have spend 13 years with speech therapy then I decide to end it because hearing people keep saying what? Why cant they accept the fact that deaf people cannot speak equivalent as hearing people and allow us learn ASL at first language. Things will be better that way as its not hard for hearing people to learn ASL. To learn ASL is very simple compare to learning how to speak that we never heard our voice. Hearing aid or cochlear implant is not exactly a foolproof for all deaf people. Some deaf people able to use hearing aids or cochlear implant that allow them communicate with hearing people, but in hearing peoples mind will always look at them as second class because their voice arent accurately as hearing peoples voice. Anyway, check the comment below... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A person who is born totally deaf cannot learn how to sing. Remember, singing is part remembering and matching pitch. How can you do any such thing if youve never heard a pitch in the first place if remembering is involved? They can mimic ones mouth movement and make an audible sound, but if youve ever heard a deaf person do that, it sounds quite muffled and many times unintelligible. It takes years for a person born deaf to do that, and they will never be able to mimic a singing sound as a person with hearing. A person who has damaged hearing could. A person who has lost his/her hearing could probably make some kind of sound, but eventually it would be hard to do without hearing the music and the timing. When Beethoven lost most of his hearing and directed his last completed symphony, I read the musicians eventually went with their own tempo as he directed them, because his direction made absolutely no sense. The musicians felt very bad for him, and did not want to embarrass him. So, they allowed Beethoven to pretend he was directing them, but in the end they ignored him followed their own lead together. Beethoven had music in his head and in his life for so long, he memorized and remembered what pitches sounded like and understood how theory works. He could reproduce what was in his head on paper that way. However, singing doesnt work that way. You have to be able to hear the impulse and the feel of the music in order to be successful at it. Your head is a resonator, and there is no way to know what is resonating in your head without hearing it in the first place. How can you tell you are having vocal problems if you cant hear it? Sometimes you cant feel the vocal problem or you cant feel if you are singing a wrong note. So the answer is no. Loss of hearing, perhaps. Recovered hearing, perhaps. But deaf from birth, no. Maybe they can feel the pulse of the music, but they cant develop it as a person with hearing can. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Source: answers.yahoo/question/index?qid=20080710012853AAcyIn5
