AMA- I’m a completely deaf (cant hear at all) person with hearing implants

r/

I‘ve been deaf all my life since birth, and I was given hearing implants so I could hear. I then went on to be obsessed with music creation, sounds in general, and plays piano extremely well. So, ask me anything about my experience being deaf! I will stop replying at around 10 PM est (45 min at time of posting)

    What are your top ways to teach people how to lip read?

    Did you grow up with sign language? Or are you able to hear well enough that you don’t need it?

    When you have dreams can you hear the people talk in them?

    What is it like being deaf? What was it like growing up until you got hearing implants? What ways has it affected your life?

    What was it like the first time you heard something? And what was it? I assume some ambient noise? Sounds of clothes rustling as people approached you?
