I remember when my mother got a cochlear implant back in the '80's, it totally changed her world.

I could hear food cooking in the oven…from the living room, first time I tried mine.

My friend’s young daughter gets hearing aids on Monday and she needs this rn.

Don't forget farts!

I love reading or watching the responses for people who get their hearing. It's amazing. I love seeing the pure emotions come out. Something fundamentally wonderful and human about it. Makes the world feel less shit and that good things can happen.

I heard the leaves rustling. (Cochlear implants)

I used to sell hearing aids and seeing people realize what they were missing was fun, also seeing old folks who had become withdrawn due to their hearing loss engage with their family again was awesome
Sallieve
I studied to study hearing loss, program and adapt hearing aids for people. And i'm disgusted how greedy the companies are, going for policies that are insanely unrealistic and borderline scammy. It's such a beautiful technology, an even more beautiful way to help people, to look their faces when they hear birds or the fountains, yet they managed to make me hate it for how the company treated their workers (like they were mere salesmen) and wanted to pierce a knife trough needy people's pockets.

Welcome to corporate greed in the Capitalist model, where everything is run like a dystopian sweatshop.

Cat purrs? I heard of someone getting heppy about them for first time...
arfysdad
My girlfriend humming to herself. I love that. It's my favorite sound. Also, turning them off in meetings.
TharrickLawson
I got my new bone-anchored hearing aid a few days ago and I never want to take it off. genuinely almost cried when they switched it on for the first time

Normal hearing folks are jealous of you. You can take your hearing aids off if the tinnitus of the world gets too much.
Capmuma
That's exactly what I do! Screaming children in the supermarket? I can turn the volume down. There has to be some perks to missing out on the stuff we wish we could hear but can't cos even the hearing aids aren't quite enough for my type of hearing loss.

Rubyrose99
Severe myopia. It's hazy, but I can still remember getting glasses at 3. Its a surreal experience, and I imagine it's like a "normie" discovering they had a superpower and testing it.
Boksha
My ears have been messed up for a while recently (glue-ear, i.e. blocked Eustachian tubes; they get blocked from the inside so not much a doctor can do about that except tell you to wait for it to pass which usually takes 3 to 6 months; the only real treatment I could find info about online is still very experimental and not actually offered anywhere) so... I basically got to experience that feeling as stuff started getting less blocked again. It's nice.

It's so heartwarming and you can empathize with the man and at the same time it's so funny and at the same time it's so embarrassing for the woman, I have a knot in my feelings now.

I love seeing the colorblind people get those special glasses that allow them to see color properly. I had a few tears when this older gentleman, who was an outdoorsman, could finally see the greenery that everyone kept telling him about. He was just SO HAPPY.
someguy7734206
How do those work? Colorblindness is caused by not having specific color receptors in your eyes. I'm sure those glasses don't add those receptors.
quzar
They only work on certain sorts of colorblindness and the idea is that they attenuate or filter certain frequency ranges that are most likely to blur/blend. It doesn't give the eyes more information, it removes information that is most likely to confuse the brain's image processing to make it easier to distinguish.
DrProfessorRocketSurgeon
Reminds me of the one where they're talking about hearing their cat purr for the first time.
celestedrake
Same. ...And cat purrs are one of best sounds in world plus happy sounds.
DumpingSh1tandBeingKind2
That's so sweet! We really do take these things for granted sometimes, well I know I do!

I remember trees having individual leaves was amazing when I first got glasses in third grade.
Lostchild12
I was shocked that I could see across the room clearly, let alone reading signs across the street.
JacksCookieLifter
I remember seeing the leaves on trees and tv aerials on the rooftops and the stars at night. Magical.
BaWitda
Suddenly, I could see the light coming through the gaps in the leaves, where there had just been undifferentiated, vague green blobs.

Must be so satisfying to not just feel your own farts rip past your anus, but also finally hear it.
Webtroll
that will also make them cry
CrazyT2018
Makes me wonder if farts from deaf people are incredible loud, because they don't hear them ...
Zanzetuken
Just imagining a deaf person in a quietish public place, really needing to fart and forcing it, so it's ultra loud "BRRAAAAPPP", and then being confused why suddenly every looks over at them.
RandAIFlagg
I joke that my partner can hear a squirrel fart on the other side of the forest
jeejeejerrycotton
Remember reading about a deaf-from-birth guy only finding out that farts make a noise as an adult.
LiamRobertsonjr
I was born without a sense of smell. I often forget farts smell.
SleepyKitten
Part of me thinks "Someone should have told him long ago about this." The other part of me thinks "He could easily get away with it because he's deaf. Who's gonna (socially) shame him for that?"

Flatulence of course has never discriminated against the hard of hearing, because there is also the olfactory component to enjoy.

or0b0ur0s
Yeah, I'm not the only one suspicious of someone acting like they've had lifelong, complete or near-total hearing loss yet speaks that clearly. Being able to hear as a child is the only way you learn that.
vegivamp
Oh, go away. Everything is fake, and you know everything there is to know, so you're right.

Someone just discovered ASMR

That's something I've never considered, would people who recently stopped being deaf get more out of asmr?

Almost definitely. Her reaction is like what I see people really digging ASMR is like

All our solar system planets and sun make noise. Although you may need to hetrodyne the energy to a human usage frequency to be heard. Science! ☕️🙂🔭

notacobra
Actually, the sun makes an unimaginably loud roar, so loud it would destroy your eardrums and rupture your organs. A scream that would be audible from earth, were it not for all the vacuum in the way.
PrincessWendyB
Exactly. Sound, by definition, is compression air waves, as interpreted by the electric meat.

Okay, clearly this response is loading for most people, but not me. Even when I right-click it most of the options are grayed out. Can I get an alternate link to whatever it is?

I've been getting imgur to stop loading images. I think it's a memory issue. Closing other apps or restarting imgur helps

Drix1942
Reminds me of one night where I woke up saying "Stop that damn whispering, I can hear you." to people in the room, and then realizing that I live alone. I brushed it off as a dreaming-into-waking up transition thing because the other option would leave me sleepless.
vorodar
Why sleepless? The ghosts are just there looking over you. And talking about how proud they are of you. The whispers are because we didn't want to wake you. Sorry.
ChicaFoxy
One night my kids asked me to ask the neighbors to stop talking so loud outside their window cuz they were trying to sleep... and stop walking and banging and yelling and laughing on our roof every night. All our neighbors are elderly disabled quiet people....
Drix1942
Brush it off as a kid's vivid imagination like the rest of us and never talk about it again.
ChicaFoxy
I tried, but then they complained about the faces watching them 😬
GeneralWho
If you ever wake up disoriented and seeing or hearing things that aren't there or talking to them, check out hypnagogic hallucinations. Can be visual, physical, or auditory. Harmless, but it does freak me out when my partner jumps out of bed staring at something that isn't there, and insisting he's awake (he is) and there's something there (there isn't).
LieutenantGordon
Or you should check the batteries in your carbon monoxide detector.

Sounds like something demons would have invented to lull us into a false sense of security.
