There is such a group, they are scattered in every corner of China, without organization, without leadership, everyone works hard like a geese.
Outwardly, they look like ordinary people. But it always makes you feel like a foreigner, and they occasionally laugh at themselves, "I don't have a hometown with an accent."
Many of them are severely or profoundly deaf, and stubbornly rely on their Less than 70% or even lower speech resolution can cope with study, work and life.
What is the concept of less than 70%? A paragraph of 100 words, he can only hear 70 words clearly, and the other 30 words rely on full guessing, contextual understanding, lip reading, facial expressions, or existing text memory in his mind or vague voice memory, right Fuzzy match what you say. Or desperately searching for words that resemble lip movements in your string of words, trying to find an explanation that makes the sentence smooth and contextual, like a cloze by trial and error.
Some of the severely or profoundly deaf people choose special education schools, and the society commonly calls them deaf. Another part chose ordinary schools to absorb the information in the classroom with limited listening. At this time, someone will ask, isn't there a hearing aid? Most of my friends may think that poor hearing is the same as poor eyesight. The effect of wearing glasses is better than that of many people with normal vision. Does wearing a hearing aid make you a spy?
In fact, hearing aids are as limited as speakers or headphones, and electronic sounds don't always feel as natural and real to us as live listening.
Putting aside the distortion of digital sound, we know that the sound waves that humans can hear are audible sound waves with a frequency range of 20 to 20,000 Hz, and these severely or severely deaf people have the worst low-frequency region and some have the highest high-frequency loss. Poor, some of them can hear the pin drop but can't hear what their loved ones are saying hoarsely, and some can hear the sound of their fingers tapping on the wooden table but can't hear the cicadas or the ringing of the phone. And so on, they exhibit a variety of auditory characteristics that would be inconceivable to normal hearing people. Modern high-tech hearing aids are so incapable of compensating for their lost hearing. The dispenser repeatedly emphasizes to his clients, "You have to have reasonable expectations." Even high-end hearing aids costing 60,000 yuan cannot give them 70% speech resolution, and 60,000 yuan digital products make How many people are discouraged, and how they struggle to survive in the cruel competition with communication barriers.
They have eccentric accents and are often treated as foreign students from Japan, Korea or other yellow-race countries. They do not belong to the country of the deaf, and they do not belong to ordinary people, although they have always wanted to integrate into the noisy crowd that is being ridiculed and abandoned by the world, and go back alone again and again. Deaf since childhood, incomplete understanding of the events around them, pricked ears and eyes (lip-reading), splicing together the bits and pieces of words they have acquired, and adding their own imagination, is their understanding of society.
Able to listen to a comfortable and natural voice like an ordinary person; have a good conversation with friends at a noisy large banquet; gain insights from classmates in a multi-person discussion group; answer a question from the speaker in a lecture; perhaps also Can participate in a debate competition; can not be rejected because of communication barriers in school and career development; can no longer envy ordinary people who are not as strong as themselves but are more important than themselves. This is the dream of all severely or profoundly deaf people.
