I think I saw somewhere she has a syndrome/disorder where she has intermittent hearing, but she makes a deaf accent really well. Especially since she's the only deaf character on the show we hear speak on a regular basis.

Erin Aulfinger She has Meniere's Disease so at times she has very good hearing and can hear very clearly and other days she may hear as if things are stopped up. Her hearing will decline gradually over the years and she'll be dependent on hearing aids by the time she's 30 (if she's not already using them regularly). I don't know her exact level of hearing but typically those with Meniere's are what I've described above. Some can go years without ever needing hearing aids and some don't even know they have it until they get older.

I don't care what anyone says, I want to learn how to sign because of this show. There's so much beauty in ASL. I know that to some deaf people this isn't beauty but a way of life. I do not wish to be deaf at all. I simply think it's beautiful how expressive you have to be in order to show the tone in your voice. It's beautiful and I'm learning how to sign. This show shares the lives of actual deaf men and women, nothing glamorous about it. We need more shows with diversity within the scirpt/plot. I love this show so much!

Most the hearing actors learned just for the show! the condition that made Regina stop signing in the show is a real condition the actress got due to learning to sign for the show, due to repetitive motions of rehearsing lines over and over.

My question is why they didn't ask the Deaf actors of the show since it is their language. I'm disappointed. :(

I have a story to tell. When I was baby I was born deaf and when they actually found out when I was 2 so I didn't start learning signs till I was 8 years old. I kinda went through what dauphine went through when she was telling bay about what happen in the 3rd grade on switched at birth so I went to a deaf school and I think that Sign Language is the most beautiful thing in the world to ever learn and its really easy to!!!

I hear ya. My speech was fine until I turned 1-2 yrs of age and my speech became incomplete and or inaudible. Drs. discovered my left ear drum was perforated thus making me hard of hearing. I had to get surgery to fix it, and even after I still had to go to speech therapy class Which was during school so i understand exactly how daphne felt with kids looking at you weird. I had to also learn sign language and Brielle as apart of speech and audiology classes. Although I am older and hearing is fine, it has been a while since I signed So I teach my kids and husband sign language when I can. Such a beautiful lanaguage. My professor in college would have me do the test for his students learning sign language and they always said " your faces are soooo expressive as if you were really deaf"...oh but if only they knew.

If you guys are interested in learning ASL, take action! Rochelle Barrow has awesome ASL videos and so does ASL Anissa. In addition, there are ASL song tutorials of almost all of your favorite songs. Learning your favorite song in ASL is a fun and cool way to be exposed to a lot of vocab.

But good on her for being an amazing actress, her sign language is so fluent (coming from someone who does sign language), you'd think that she was born deaf or something along those lines.

incandescent silver Errr. You do know that it caused deafness. Anyone can go deaf in their time of life. So to say a "deaf people accent" is actually quite offending. What, they can't talk? Umm.. Do research. Understand the culture and everything before you even go talking about accents..

@starfieldrock101

10 жыл бұрын

I actually do know the culture more than you realize, I grew up in the deaf culture, I'm hard of hearing and I grew up knowing ASL and my parents and I know people who are deaf, so FYI, I do know my stuff, and I don't need to do the research because I'm part of it, So do NOT tell me what to do when it comes to me knowing about stuff, it is a fact that people who have hearing loss, in fact do have an accent, and it's not a bad thing, it's just part of who we are. So you can back off about knowing everything about the deaf culture. Deaf people can talk, and they are pretty dang awesome, I'd far rather be deaf than hard of hearing or hearing. I lost my hearing when I was born, and I know that anybody can lose their hearing at any point in their life. Maybe you need to learn a little more about someone before you go making judgements on what they say.

I'm so happy though, that you're so interested in using ASL, I encourage you to take some ASL classes if there are any in your area, it's really neat to learn from what I've heard (I've known it since birth, so I don't knwo any different) it really is a beautiful language, I think people on KZread have also put up videos of lessons in ASL, maybe give those a try? Maybe a good first step as opposed to diving head first into a class. I don't know but good luck all the same!

I adore bay, she is so cute

I just randomly clicked on this show and I thought it was AMAZING

I really wish we could have a show like this in the UK. I love learning BSL and a show similar to this would help people to recognise that this is a language that needs to be noticed and understood. There is so much stigma surrounding BSL in the UK and it saddens me because if it wasn't for shows like this, it wouldn't get the attention it deserves. A show like this would benefit my family a lot, especially my sister who is profoundly deaf and totally reliant on BSL because it would help her to understand that our situation at home is not totally unique. I applaud ABC for coming up with this show and I look forward to checking it out.

This show really made me want to restart sign language learning!! I took a class like 25 years ago but I was able to recognize some of it from watching!!

Also forgot to add in my previous post that a good lot of Deaf people prefer ASL over PSE; you see PSE more in hearing people who have learned it and find it easier because the sentences are signed closely to how they would be spoken.

Man these people basically play themselves (personality wise). I love these actors

I drive 4 Deaf Ed. kids from a rural area to a school where Deaf Ed is offered., and then stay all day as an aide. I had NO idea that Katie was NOT deaf! My husband has lost almost all his hearing, so I understand her character. She does her part VERY WELL. I work with 2 of the 3rd graders who can hear, so they are ahead of me signing and give me a hard time if I mess up....But I am slowly picking it up and am sooo much better than this time last year. I LOVE the mosquito sign...I will amaze and impress the kids tomorrow...Thanks for the video....

I love this. I find it so awesome that I used to watch this and be so intrigued. Now I'm an ASL interpreting student and it's so interesting to see.

I've watched switched at birth so many times and I learned how to sign things through it and before this I didn't know a single bit of ASL but I learned watching this.. now I can actually carry on a full conversation with someone who is deaf or hard of hearing.. plus I love knowing sign language in general.. it's such an amazing language

I recently started watching switched at birth and it’s my favorite show right now and when I saw this I was so exited!

Switched at Birth is such an inspiring show. And everyone is an amazing actor!

okay but the actual actors seem so sweet wow awe 😭

i love Katie's laugh at the end

Loved it! Thanks for sharing! One of my favorite shows!

I watch this show every night I love it!

I love this show so much💜 I watched the entire first season in 2 days💜💜

I love that show sooooo much its my #1 favorite I wish I could meet the carectors

I had an ear infection was deaf in one ear for a few weeks. Honest to god it was great! I could tune out the world sometimes. I'm just finishing season 3 on netflix! Thanks made me wanna actually learn to sign.

I want more movie switched at birth i miss them love it good..

I love ASL and I am learning everything I can. I love watching switched at birth and seeing all the signs and most of all I love sean berdy. My dream is to one day meet him.That would be so awesome! He is my favorite character in the show. GO SEAN BERDY!!!!!!!!!!!

bay was my fav in this vid :) she is actually herself even the way she looks around shes basically not acting. she seems so sweet

i am in love with switched at birth

I think that it is so cool that they have to learn ASL for this show it is one of my favorite tv shows.

This show has helped me learn a lot of signs! I can actually sign most of that sentence.

im currently watching this series and once i found out that i could learn it pn ykutune thats all i could do im pretty good sonce ive only been doing it for 2 days some of my knowledge of asl from the show and others from youtube but its fun and a beautiful way to speak and its amazing

hearing kate talk like that is scaring me slightly. I'm not used to it and NEVER expected it

I absolutely died when I saw the sign for mosquito I seriously did not expect that to be the sign for that particular word mind blown and interesting to see how so many words in ASL relate to what they actually are

I see that in the comments a lot of people use the lowercase version of the word "deaf" it is actually used with a upper case when you are referring to a Deaf individual or the community as well as the culture. Lowercase D in the word deaf is used for the medical terminology. Used by doctors and nurses to refer to the medical condition.

well, I m hard of hearing but grew up in deaf family so buillgual language is my advantage but what disadvantage about hard of people is they may speak really well and some with accent (deaf people will view us "hearing" while hearing people will wonder hard of hearing people speak so well and expect us to understand every words they are saying which is not true, I m better with one at a time conversation. Katie from switch at birth make it sounds like she doesn't need to rely on interpreters or understand when people argue all at once and she joined in conversation which is not reality :-) I heard she is hearing loss so I can tell by her sign language is not really deaf but at least she is learning it pretty well. Emmett *Sean * is the first of the most beautiful ASL i ve seen for being deaf actor (Travis as well!) keep it up guys!

I like learning new things so i remember in school one day my friends and i started talking in sign language cause we like speaking in it was fun but one of the teachers said to stop but it wasnt like we were talking to her and it was at lunch but yea i think its beautiful :) oh and i get better everyday

I love that show

I have always wanted a deaf friend so I get to know the language and I'm so happy I met her

She is diagnoses with Menieres disease. I love Switched at Birth, how Daphne and Bay really didn`t like eachother in season 1, but started to get friends at season 2. I had one deaf friend when I was growing up, but I`ve never really use it any more. I love to get to learn it agian:-)

My deaf and hard of hearing family loved this show. I know quite a bit of sign because of it but my family says I need to learn more

What really inspired me was when Daphne was in the hospital and there was a patient (Daphnes friend) who was deaf, but there wasnt a translator in that night. If Daphne wasnt there the nurse would have given her medicine that would have killed her.

I've never watched SaB but the second woman said the word "beautiful" and I was reminded of the deaf girl in the movie Miracle on 34th Street who Richard Attenborough surprised with ASL and she wasn't acting, she was really deaf and really didn't know that Santa would sign to her.

I don't see how Katie fakes the deaf accent so well!
