On hearing again.Another phenonemon I have noticed - mainly while watching documentaries on television - is that I come across a word I've never actually *heard* pronounced before, although it's part of my vocabulary. It's usually quite an exotic word - inconscient, for example - that I aquired in my late teens, post hearing loss. Every time I hear one of these for the first time, there's a moment of confusion, followed by a little shock and a thrill of recognition. "So that's what that word sounds like". It's a genuinely exciting thing to experience, even in very small doses. At last, I understand the Hellen Keller phenonemon. 2 Comments:
Hello dear. By The egg headed knave, at 7:35 am I miss you, too Ori, but a lot has been happening. I hope we talk soon. By John Connors, at 8:53 pm |
The Journal
A miscellany of topics that intersest me: deaf culture, game design, politics as soap opera, the cyborg condition and the experience of learning to hear again. Other topics presented are speculative fiction and imaginary cities. There are appearences of snippets of work in progress, public rants, pointless posts and Mish the Mouse. The Writer
A lower middle class cyborg living an innocous life in a suburban village near Newcastle On Tyne, in the United Kingdom. Mostly autobiographical and creative notes posts and musings on the topic du jour. Archives
