"She said that she'll be his eyes, and he'll be her ears" that got me, that's so sweet

blind and deaf...really makes you think about all the things we worry about in life and how meaningless they are in comparison to adversities like this

I'm glad the entertainment industry is including ASL in their work. My youngest son was diagnosed with autism at two years old and is nonverbal. I taught all my children ASL, so he has a way to communicate with his family. In school, he has an interpreter, and his classmates are learning ASL to be able to communicate with one another. We live in Colorado and my parents live in California and they are learning ASL at the local community college to be able to communicate with their grandson. Although they're not fluent yet, they still are able to manage what they've learned to sign with him. What they don't know, my children teach them.

My friend can relate to him. She is both deaf and blind. It's not the end of the world, she said. Amazing

The cochlear implant is viewed differently for people who acquire hearing loss later in life than for those who are born deaf. I have personal and professional experience in the developmental disability field, specifically autism. The topic of curing or something similar is often brought up.

We learned about deaf culture when I was learning ASL in college. It’s such a close community of people.
I loved learning ASL (I’m a little rusty but I’ve been trying to get back into it). I tried taking Spanish because I knew nothing about ASL, but my learning disability made it so hard to learn a spoken/written language. When I finally decide to take it, I learned not just a language but a whole new understanding of deaf culture. It was eye opening.

Plenty of people are blind and deaf and live happy and healthy lives, just in case anyone watching this is scared.

I’m glad Bonnie came around to the cochlear implants because it was messed up how she was mad at him and said he didn’t love her because of it initially. Like, he has autonomy of his own body. It’s different when you loose abilities you once had versus never having those abilities to begin with.

I know exactly how this feels. I started losing my hearing and eye sight in my right eye over 15 years ago. Now I'm fully deaf and completely blind in that eye. I also lost my sense of smell around the same age. It is incredibly hard not being able to smell, hear, or see anything on my right side, it makes it very difficult to interact with the world around me and other people. I've never made any friends in life and my family is no longer around. If it wasn't for my boyfriend I wouldn't be able to survive on my own. I can barely work a job anymore without one of my disabilities causing an issue and I get fired. I can't get any government assistance either. My life is very difficult and isolating, if I don't have anywhere to go or anything to do I do not leave my house. I can go months and months without leaving my house until I have a Drs appointment, or I somehow manage to get a job interview, or need to run errands or go grocery shopping. Other then that I keep myself isolated in my house that way I don't have to deal with the outside world cuz it's just to difficult for me.

I love this video out of any other videos of Chicago Med because I want to become a hearing down syndrome ASL Interpreter so I could help and advocate for everyone. Because the kindness that you spread out there in the world is even more beautiful just like being part of the deaf community and using this unique language can help me jumpstart my career and find various jobs all around. Love you Maggie.

This reminds me of Helen Keller’s teacher and mentor Ann Sullivan. Because of some childhood illness, Helen Keller was deaf and blind. She was completely blocked from outside world. Ann Sullivan herself was partially blind but she was able to help Helen by teaching her braille from young age.

I hope that Sharon, Daniel and Maggie won't leave the scene, since they're the only characters to appear in all seasons.

2:02 I know I shouldn't laugh but lady why are you closing the door!?!?😂

[maryrutherford]

How devastating we take so much for granted

[Blan-Kitt]

Something a little funky that most hearing people won't notice; The captions on this video are auto-generated. It's tons better than disabling captions outright, but auto-generated captions tend to be kind of cruddy. It's a little ironic when videos that have a topic or focus on hearing/D/deafness don't include proper captions.

I’m so happy about this ushers syndrome and RP there’s not enough awareness about it as it’s rare, I was born deaf and started losing my sight at 21 I’m from the uk and there’s only around 200 in uk who have this !!!

[BringerOfDestructionAndDoom]

Sounds and looks like a match made in heaven. Good for them for having positivity and faith in each other.

Poor guy at least he had his finance there for him.

My dad is deaf. He has RP
The doctors told my dad he would be blind by the time he was 50. My dad is 78. He has no peripheral eyesight, but otherwise has a lot of sight. He is an anomaly. We are so blessed that he can still see. Many of his friends aren't so fortunate. Deafness and blindness tend to go hand in hand with Ushers. He is now experiencing muscle problems and other things that may linked to it, but he is still going strong. He is an inspiration. I believe Helen Keller said she would rather be blind than deaf. She would be able to hear the world. Cochlear Implants are a very sticky subject among the deaf community. They truly feel the way Bonnie stated. I used to work with deaf kids and a lot of the grown ups in the community were outraged at how many had them. I calmly explained that many of them would have gotten them also if their hearing parents had the technology available to them. Many of them agreed with that. Deaf culture is beautiful and special. I'm proud to have been raised in it.

Incredibly Sweet. I wish I could find someone who would treat me like I mattered
