I may look at a picture and see totally different than the next guy, hear music and listen to different parts of it than the next guy..ie he/she may accent more to higher notes whilst I may listen to the bassline more. We all taste differently - some like marmite others don't. Mainly because the ways in which our brains function differently - we behave differently, react differently- and many schools of psychology will argue why. We think differently _ some pupils excell at language , others at more problematic subjects such as maths. So in a nutshell, to be different to the next man is the norm. To quote a famous film " We are all individuals !" Rob, I hink we are all totally different in many aspects.

I think you are right about the whole thing. <br /><br />People who use all their senses tend to be distracted by many things. like odours, sights, sounds. but when one of these senses are not their to catch their attention, they are more apt to grasps what's going around them and to memorise it.

I just thought my difficulty seeing was normal until the second grade when my teacher noticed my squinting. You know how kids are. We're products of our environments, and my environment has just always been blurry. Anyhow, being near sighted, I've always struggled with seeing details, but I've always been good with remembering the colour, shape and sounds associated with my memories. I always thought this was kind of weird, and it was just me, but apparently not. Thanks for making me aware of this! I sooo agree with you on this!

Here’s the thing, I dont “see” myself as being “in” the deaf world I see myself in the hearing world and that’s what I mix in, what I grew up in.

I hardly know any deaf people to be honest.

A lot of times, hearing people try to take advantage of deaf people. That's why I usually do not talk much about deaf stuff with another deaf person until they get to know me a little bit so they do not get offended or think that I am trying to make fun of them or whatever else people do. :) <br /><br />I will have to IM some of my deaf friends and tell them about your blog.

NO it doesn’t offend me at all ;)

I agree I wouldn’t swap this part loss of sense for any other.

BUT if I could swap my ears for a blinds persons and let them have my eyes, even for one day I would do it in a heartbeat and MAINLY I’d do it so that blind person gets to see, not for my hearing. :)

I hope it doesn’t offend you when I say that sometimes I act deaf when I go out somewhere, and I sign to my wife (who is also hearing and knows ASL).

I really love the ASL culture and if I could choose one sense to be less than 20%, it would be hearing!
