Deaf TikToker Uses App To Raise Awareness

This viral TikTok from a Deaf creator is moving hearing people to learn American Sign Language.

LOS ANGELES, California -- Deaf activist and TikToker, Chrissy Marshall's blog "The Essential Sign" shares experience on social media, she is raising awareness about the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community and teaching hearing people sign language, one viral video at a time.

If you don't live with a disability, you may not appreciate how crucial and meaningful community and accessibility are - but one viral TikTok is demonstrating it perfectly.

Chrissy Marshall, a 19-year-old content creator in Los Angeles, was born hard of hearing and became profoundly Deaf in high school. Now, she makes content on YouTube and TikTok about her disability and American Sign Language.

One of those videos captures a "special" day she had recently. In the TikTok video, Marshall, looking happy and excited, recounts her day of encountering three people who signed to her in American Sign Language.

"The sun was shining, people were signing, and everything felt so fluid," Marshall told BuzzFeed News in an interview. "I thought I was being pranked or something, like cameras were going to pop out and ask about my day."

"The area has a big Deaf community," she added, "and I’m glad and inspired to see the impact it’s had on the greater community as a whole."

The video is making other people happy too, and it's encouraging them to learn American Sign Language.

"Oh my god. Today has been crazy," she says and signs in the video. "Today I went to three places and all three people signed."

She describes stopping at the bank, where a teller signed with her, then at Starbucks, where a Deaf barista signed, and then she grabbed a pretzel, where the worker also signed.

"Everyone signed! It was like a perfect world. It's like a utopia."

The TikTok was reuploaded to Twitter, where it went viral.

Marshall said her online platform has given her the opportunity to spread awareness about disability rights, American Sign Language, and deafness.

Her other videos cover what it's like to be Deaf. She also posts fun ones like American Sign Language versions of songs.

"I’m so glad it’s just more people I get the opportunity to educate and inspire to be part of the community," said Marshall. "I am a huge advocate for people learning American Sign Language, and I’m happy and grateful so many people were inspired to do so."

Deaf Man Sues Pornhub For Lack Of Captions

Pornhub is being sued by a Deaf man because only a small percentage of the videos uploaded onto the website are captioned.

PHOENIX -- A man is reportedly suing an adult video website for alleged rights violations because there is a lack of closed captioning on at least some videos.

According to TMZ, Yaroslav Suris' lawsuit against Pornhub claims the lack of closed captioning violates the rights of Deaf and Hearing-Impaired under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of the United States Code.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

In court documents cited by TMZ, Suris claims the Deaf and Hearing Impaired can't understand the audio portion of videos on the websites, and listed a number of videos that the man watched, but couldn't understand the dialogue.

In the documents, Suris reportedly claims he and those in similar situations would pay money for a premium subscription, but calls it pointless without the subtitles.

Suris, according to the TMZ report, is suing for Pornhub to add closed captioning, in addition to damages. Pornhub officials told TMZ the website does have a closed captions category, and says the company generally does not comment on active lawsuits. This is not the first time the issue of closed captioning for online videos has been in the spotlight.

According to a 2015 report by the BBC, a YouTuber named Rikki Poynter raised awareness for closed captioning on YouTube. A video made by Poynter on the issue was cited by popular YouTuber Tyler Oakley as an inspiration for him to add closed captioning to all his videos on YouTube.

Rikki Poynter is a Deaf vlogger on YouTube. She makes content about Deaf awareness, accessibility/closed captioning awareness, mental health, feminism, and more, subscribe to Rikki Poynter Channel on YouTube.

Deaf Choir Sings In Sign Language

Singing in sign language: Meet the first Deaf choir in NL, Canada.

ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland & Labrador -- Singers were assembled for one-time performance - then the phone started ringing. They got together for a one-time performance. Then the phone started ringing.

Meet the Deaf Choir, a first of it's kind in Newfoundland & Labrador. Choir members say they're having fun, and giving the Deaf community a bigger voice.

The holidays are a busy time at the St. John's International Airport, but on a recent afternoon, travellers stopped in their tracks to take in a truly unexpected sight.

A choir, performing without words, singing with their hands.

The Deaf Choir was gathered in front of the massive airport Christmas tree. A dozen members, young and old, stood in the familiar semi-circle of choirs everywhere. The twinkling melody of I'll Be Home For Christmas filled the air.

But instead of belting the familiar refrain, the choir raised their arms, stretched out their fingers and signed the lyrics in unison.

Their actions swelled with emotion, their hands becoming musical instruments. In the language of Deaf people everywhere, they sing.

"Oh, I feel fabulous. Very inspiring to teach Deaf awareness here in the public," said choir member Myles Murphy, through an interpreter.

"It means that, you know, we were here. We are part of the public," said Murphy, a member of the choir and executive director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Association of the Deaf.

"I'm full of Christmas spirit here today," said choir member Linda Healey, also through an interpreter. "I'm really happy that people are getting the awareness out here, and we are showing that Deaf people can do anything when it comes to performing." ... Read The Full Story at CBC NL.

Deaf Players Innovate VRChat Community

Deaf people in VRChat talk about their life experiences and community.

Syrmor channel on YouTube shares the anime video in english subtitles of Deaf Awareness and educating about bullying by Hearing People.

Ray the anime girl in the beginning was born Deaf. Sio the anime girl that first appears at 3:06 became hard-of-hearing after the accident. She has diplacusis and tinnitus. Diplacusis makes it so that she hears double.

Sio will hear sounds at 2 different pitches simultaneously making it difficult to decipher what is being said. This makes some voices understandable and others not depending on the pitch of the voice. Tinnitus is a ringing in the ear that can be similar to the sensation of buzzing, hissing, chirping, or whistling.

Translating from American Sign Language into english isn't exactly 1:1 because of grammar structure. Certain lines were translated the way they were because of the context of the whole conversation. Big thanks to Quentin for helping me translate https://twitter.com/urquentin.

Social Experiment: Being Deaf For A Day

Deaf Awareness: Jenn Chia was Deaf for a day. This is what happened..

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- This video is one that is incredibly close to Jenn Chia heart. Being Deaf for a day has made Jenn more aware of the world around her. It has opened up her mind to a new worldview. Video with English Subtitles.

Before this, Jenn have always deemed the Deaf as, for lack of a better word, incapable of many everyday activities. Yes, she was that stupid and uninitiated.

After this “experiment,” albeit only for a day, she learnt that apart from hearing, the Deaf can do anything a hearing person can... and more.

Without her sense of hearing, she found herself paying more attention when communicating with other people. She became more attentive to signs, cues, and nuances that could indicate what the other person is talking about.

In the making of this video, she realised how much taken words and communication for granted; and how a genuine smile could light up a room, transcending language and senses.

Thank you so much Grab Malaysia for giving her this opportunity to experience something so invaluable.

She want to thank the team as well for supporting her and realising this mini documentary with Jenn Chia. To know more about how you can support the initiative as well, visit website: https://grb.to/GFGSoimjenn.

Deaf Activist Explains Terps at Live Concerts

A Deaf activist explains the importance of interpreters at live concerts on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

BURBANK, California -- A Deaf activist and founder of advocacy group DEAFinitely Dope, Matt Maxey, explains how sign language interpreters are necessary for live music events and what it's like experiencing music as a Deaf person.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

Matthew Maxey hails from Decatur, Georgia and currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Born with a severely profound hearing loss, and outfitted with hearing aids at 2 years old, it became apparent at an early age that life would be anything but ordinary.

Fast forward and Matthew attended the prestigious Gallaudet University in Washington, DC where he began to learn American Sign Language in an attempt to balance the struggle of developing his identity as a double minority in terms of ability and race.

In 2014, DEAFinitely Dope was founded as an idea based on providing support to those that felt marginalized and ignored by mainstream America.

DEAFinitely Dope started as a brand, and slowly blossomed into a movement, attracting the likes of educational institutions nationwide, CNN, ESPN The Undefeated, GQ, Cole Haan, ABC news, Chance The Rapper, MTV Video Music Awards, and countless more.

With both hearing and Deaf partnerships in play, Matt strives to continue to break barriers and defy the norms with a fresh perspective on interaction, inclusion, accessibility and equality, as awareness continues to grow.

Deaf Romance Short Film 'Noise'

A Deaf woman forms a bond with a stranger, forcing them to communicate without language.

Omeleto release a romance short film “Noise” presenting Sophie stands by herself staring at the ocean. Lost in her own world and thoughts - as well as being Deaf - she is oblivious at first to the stranger who begins to share her spot on the pier, trying to photograph the local scene.

Eventually they strike up a conversation via hand gestures and facial expressions, and Sophie and Bemo spend the afternoon together, forming an unlikely bond that flourishes despite their lack of shared language. But that growing bond and attraction is challenged in its own way, and what seems like a straightforward romance becomes a meditation on attraction, love and the vivid, fleeting nature of it all.

Writer-director Michael Aloyan's short romance traces the beginning of an attraction, beginning with the requisite "meet cute" and proceeding until what's traditionally regarded as the next step. Charming, simply but beautifully shot and well-performed, watching two different individuals find common ground and then attraction is lovely, especially when the storytelling highlights how their lack of shared language seemingly makes space for a more intimate, vulnerable connection.

There isn't much dialogue in the film, but strong sound design offers a glimpse of what's it like to be in Sophie's head, experiencing music as rhythmic thumps and exploring a subjectivity that is rich in sensation, even if she can't hear sound. Sharing some of that with Bemo forms one of the most evocative and heart-warming moments in the film, and it's easy to see why they become so taken with one another.

Actress T.J. Carpio plays Sophie's hearing impairment lightly, but traces her growing openness to Bemo with great responsiveness and emotional honesty. Actor Shvan Aladdin plays off her well as Bemo, essaying a role notable for its warmth and kindness, and the two's connection flourishes, even if they don't seem to have much shared ground yet.

As Sophie and Bemo develop other ways to share their selves and lives outside of spoken conversation, the film seems to function as a romantic montage leading to a high point of consummation, gracefully threading through their growing intimacy in a series of beautifully etched vignettes. But in a subtle but clever set of twists, the storytelling upends those narrative expectations, making what seems like a straightforward romance into something unexpectedly meditative and even melancholy.

Without giving too much away, "Noise" seems to question just what the origin of attraction is, what role and importance common ground -- whether it's through shared language or other values -- plays in love and what do we gain or give up when rushing into romance. This narrative turn is gently accomplished without melodrama, but it's enough that when the would-be couple come back together, the emotional tenor of the story is markedly different from the beginning. It's not unlike real life, perhaps, when the beautiful "castle in the sky" created by two people's mutual romantic fantasy and momentum reveals itself as the fragile edifice it is -- and the couple must decide what's really holding it up, and whether that's enough to sustain it.
