I am not sure what are you getting at - I thought we were debating
if "someone who is severely deaf can talk normally?"
At least that's what I got from the thread's title...
Fuzzy
because it is simply true- who do you understand better - a clear speaking
people or with unclear speech?
Option 3. Someone use sign language.
You infer only way be easy understood is speak clearly. I pick colourful way tell you other way be understood USE SIGN LANGUAGE!
oops, I forgot about this thread -
no, not to "please" - it's merely a matter of practicality.
If you speak clearly, and clearly being considered 'normal' as in 'hearing way'- you are being easily understood.
Not only by the hearies, by the deaf and HoH, too.
Personally as HoH (if wearing HAs) I find it very hard to understand "deaf speech". Or mustachios, or beards etc.

I infer only way is to speak clearly? where? please show me.
and oh, absolutely not.
Please tell me Sunshine, what is the thread title?
Since you accuse me, please be just to me as well, okay, please ?

Fuzzy, an audits view is one where this third option is forgotten or ignored.
Top quote, this where you imply this.
You understand what word "imply" mean...?
Not only by the hearies, by the deaf and HoH, too.

Yes a deaf person can talk like a hearing person but a deaf person CANNOT understand spoken language like a hearing person no matter what devices they have. Just no way in hell.
Thought so.
Sunshine, you thought I've said "the only way for the deaf is to speak clearly"
in fact what I've really said is
"speaking clearly is good not only for the hearies but for the deaf, too"
which is totally different meaning.
That's too bad you have no guts to admit you were wrong Sunshine,
but that was to be expected. none of you screaming "audist!" ever do.

Absolutely, I agree, that is not possible.
Just to clarify, I wasn't implying that.
I was saying the opposite- that for the deaf person it is important that the SPEECH they hear is as clear as possible, even if it is coming from the deaf person.
Fuzzy
No, what i thought you said was speaking clearly is good for hearies and deafies. And what *i* say is what is BETTER for deaf people is sign language.

And what I was saying is what BETTER is they have people signing to them.
