    So it’s fake because 4chan. But also it’s fake because even if you’re late deafened you need to learn how to hear after getting cochlear implants.

    Also because it’s rare for adults fluent in sign language with a supportive network to choose CIs unless late deafened

      Also “she gave me her number.” And? Did you call her?

      (I guess I’m dating myself here because texting is a thing, but…)

        I’m 30 and can’t imagine calling someone in response to being given a number. My entire life my number has been for texting

      She would have had to learn to hear, learn to speak. Perhaps she couldn’t understand them, perhaps all the meaning communicated was in sign language
