I don’t have any hearing issues, and I wouldn’t say that I hear, or perceive, my thoughts as voices, just words without any voice or connection.
My 18 year old cat has gone deaf over the past year and I still tell her I love her. I also tell her to fuck off when she gets on the table and tries to eat from our plates but she no can hear.
The saddest thing about one of my old dogs going deaf was that she stopped doing this characteristic playful “bark.” It wasn’t really a bark, more of a cute little howl that came out sounding like, “Roooooo.” I used to “talk” with her by making that sound and she’d “roo” back at me. But when she lost her sense of hearing, she couldn’t respond to my “roo” anymore and stopped making the sound entirely. :(
I’m not deaf, but I also can’t hear my thoughts. In my case it’s because of aphantasia.
Interesting. Is it still called aphantasia for that? I also have it, but the picturing kind. Can’t picture anything in my mind, but can definitely ‘hear’
Wait wat? You remember that far back? I have literally two memories before I was 10…
My first memory is one of my four-year-old self hearing a voice in my head say “Huh, this must be that self-talk Mom was telling me about. That’s neat.”
Kinda spotty since then. I barely remember anything else prior to 5th grade.
Yeah, I barely remember anything before high school. And even then it’s kinda spotty.
I do remember people though. It apparently disturbs people how good I am at that. Nothing more than that they exist and a few things about them. But no events.
