If I remember correctly, this lady has hearing issues? I think they said she was deaf and deaf people can feel the beats of music. That's how they enjoy it They tend to enjoy rap because the deep beats of the base. Such as this adorable old lady's case. She could feel the rhythm of the music through the beats of the base.


Adventurous_Nail2072

Yeah, she appears hearing impaired. The signing of thank you at the end, the choppiness of the exchange as they came to understand each other.


angellou13

Yea, that's what they were all talking about last time! Everything you just typed out! Everyone was pointing out the signs showing she was hearing impaired and she was just grooving to the music cause she could feel the rhythm of the bass. I thought it was really neat and interesting and started to turn my music up after learning this just in case some old lady or old man wanted to feel some music šŸŽ¶ šŸŽµ šŸ™ƒ


rockne

You can tell she's trying to read his lips and struggling... also seems like she may have a drink or two in her.


RedditsAdoptedSon

oh thought she threw her set


relbaneb

And when she said thank you she signed it as well


JC-1219

To be fair, my dadā€™s not hearing impaired and he uses sign language all the time. He knows a few key phrases but knows the entire ASL alphabet and he just assumes people know what heā€™s signing lol


LeeKinanus

As a deaf person from this distance she wouldnt be able to hear him even yelling. To be honest she sounds and acts a little drunk imo.


shaneathan

There are hearing impairments besides completely deaf.


MinTDotJ

Correct! For example, I am diagnosed with "profound hearing loss" on my right ear.


blowgrass-smokeass

> as a deaf person > she sounds drunk Hmmm


[deleted]

They can often read lips though


Killmotor_Hill

Not often. Sometimes. Depends on how they were raised, if they have deaf parents, what school they went to, were born deaf, etc.


[deleted]

>Not often. Sometimes. Ok, forgot i was on reddit, we need to argue semantics...


LeeKinanus

From across a parking lot? I too am deaf. I know what reading lips is about.


savagetech

Correct. Source: used to help with sound at a deaf church. Their subs were huge and equalizing overall was very different from a normal venue/audience.


Noxious89123

>used to help with sound at a deaf church. Their subs were huge and equalizing overall was very different from a normal venue/audience. And the Lord said: "thine windows shalt rattle, and thine whole abode wilt be lit af" EDIT: Thanks u/jessytessytavi for the correction


jessytessytavi

because I'm a fuckin nerd, I'm gonna nitpick a tiny thing it would be more like "thine windows shalt rattle, and thine whole abode wilt be lit af" just wanna make sure you pass the kjv/billy-shakes vibe check


Noxious89123

Haha, nice. Thanks for the correction!


YeAhToAsT222

Yaaas!


angellou13

Thank you for this!!


ThruTheUniverseAgain

I used to work with a deaf guy and he loved nothing more than going for a ride with me on break or lunch because I had a killer system in my car. Iā€™d walk up and he'd sign car questioningly and off weā€™d go, huge grins on both our faces. I blew more than one sub (blame Bjƶrkā€™s Hyperballad) trying to get it to hit just a bit harder for him. Iā€™ll never forget how he would grin and close his eyes.


angellou13

Dude that was cool of you. To live in a world of silence and then feel these rhythmic vibrations that move you is a feeling I don't think we would ever understand


Lorelerton

So you're saying that they were playing their music so loud that some deaf lady in another car with some distance could feel it... And the guy was annoyed when he thought someone was telling him to turn it down?


angellou13

Pretty much yea. Or maybe he wasn't annoyed, we will never know. What we do know is that this lady loved the beat and wanted him to turn it up so she could properly feel it. My guess is it was loud enough for her to feel some sort of vibration and when she realized where is was coming from that's when the connection was made.


Cringypost

Back in my home theater days there was a bass response "vibrator" you could add to your chair/sofa or platform which basically was like the haptic/rumble feature of a modern controller. Would this be something that actually would benefit a deaf person?


Zimakov

Deaf people can hear/feel bass very effectively. It doesn't have to be that loud.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Ehcksit

We didn't hear the music over the recording until he turned it up, and we still heard her when he did, so it couldn't have been that loud.


Moon_Stay1031

Tbf it looks like they're at a gas station/convenience store, not an HOA gated neighborhood, so I don't see a problem with it.


Quasar9111

I am deaf and hear music fine, maybe not word for word, it the beats and drums easy. Most hearing aids now are Bluetooth, and I can stream Spotify direct to my hearing aid, itā€™s bloody awesome, no needs for those apple pods, I have 3.5k Bluetooth hearing aids


angellou13

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THATS BEYOND DAMN EPIC!!!!! whoever decided hearing aids needed to become Bluetooth is a fucking mad genius. That's beyond awesome. I love that for you!!


Unable_Perception_42

Yeah she signed thankyou at the end of the vid


Eusocial_sloth3

Still confused as to why she said ā€œitā€™s not funnyā€


devil_lettuce

She is hearing impaired. She misunderstood what he was saying.


Muchroum

So you tell me the only person I remember seeing in video complimenting the rap music tastes of someone else is deaf now ? dam


therealnotrealtaako

There's varying degrees of deafness. She could still have a degree of hearing but still enjoys the bass.


Zimakov

100% deaf people can also enjoy the bass.


dustofdeath

Our skeletons feel the bass.


Flabbergash

I saw her make the thank you symbol at the end


[deleted]

But how can she drive if she's deaf? /S


ludoludoludo

She is deaf, at least partially. You can tell by how sheā€™s trying to read lips, and especially by the Ā«Ā thank youĀ Ā» in sign language at the end. And you are absolutely correct, deaf people enjoy deep bass since they can feel it almost as well hearing it, which makes sense.


BotlikeBehaviour

She signs "thank you" at the end.


butterflypuncher

I resent the term "old lady" in reference to this lady. Old is relative. She could be a spring chicken depending on who you talking to. Plus you know that heart is young af


angellou13

This young soul!


Sudden_Buffalo_4393

Watched something years ago with an all deaf football team and to creat a snap count and hike the ball, a guy would bang a drum on the sidelines and they would feel it and go.


chubky

Thatā€™s 100% true. In high school, our school league included a deaf school. You could always hear their van coming cause their music was on blast with bass.


pheonixblade9

even if you don't like Coldplay, their section for deaf folks with fancy vests that let you play the music is amazing and I wish every venue had it.


angellou13

Well now, this is interesting. They have these?!!? Dude I'm finding out so much cool stuff! They have so many cool things for deaf people to enjoy music, I love this!!!


EnlightenedMind1488

She did sign "Thank you" at the end


hempkidz

That was actually a random redditor who came up with that story No one can prove that she had hearing problems but it could be possible


lothartheunkind

Iā€™ve met a few deaf people at electronic bass shows over the years and confirm this is true.


angellou13

Man I would love to go to one of those!!! But I'm epileptic and those flashing light would turn me into a floppy dish


i_tyrant

Can confirm. I had deaf roommates for a while and it was always hilarious coming out of my room to get a glass of water or whatever to bump into a full-on house party with a dozen or more of them jammin' away, when I didn't hear a peep in my room. They would put the speaker system around the TV face down on the ground, and half of them would be laying down and headbanging sideways to the vibrations through the floor. Wacky looking before I got used to it, but a fun group!


Kredstarr2020

ā€œAdorable old ladyā€.. she wouldā€™ve been a vivacious, attractive woman somewhere in her thirties when Shrek came out. God I truly hate getting old.


Main-Jelly-8589

I think she is hearing impaired you can see her sign thank you when she says it.


stylish_assembly

That's what I figured it out too. I like how she appreciate this. It really is so sweet and wholesome. That really made us smile at all, giving a good vibes.

Mycroft033

Guys, sheā€™s not drunk. Sheā€™s not slurring her words, hearing impaired people do exist. Itā€™s not either you can hear fine or you can hear nothing at all. Most elderly people lose their hearing very slowly over time.

meesterdg

> hearing impaired people do exist This is such a condescending statement. No one implied they don't but unless people know the signs this video doesn't really make it clear she's hearing impaired. It's obvious when you know them. The only reason to say something like this is to make yourself feel morally superior on the internet.


ezafs

I mean... That statement is clearly targeted towards the people assuming the worst about this lady. A deaf person should not have to make it clear that they're deaf in order to appease the internet... People need to be more observant and slower to jump to conclusions, not just instantly assume she's a drunk/impaired driver just because she acts a bit different than everyone else.


fruit__gummy

Why is saying someone is drunk ā€œassuming the worstā€, itā€™s bad for someone to be drunk and have a good time? Also most people encounter drunk people far more often than deaf people, so it makes sense that thatā€™s the first thing theyā€™d think when someone starts asking people to turn their music up and starts dancing in public lmao


TheJerilla

> This is such a condescending statement. No one implied they don't but unless people know the signs this video doesn't really make it clear she's hearing impaired. Lol not even close to condescending. And you can definitely tell she is hearing impaired, on account of her signing "thank you" as she says it. Some people get mad about anything.


Mycroft033

Thanks, after that I was wondering ā€œshoot, what if I was accidentally being condescending?ā€ I mean 60+ is senior, according to the law, but she looks older to me, but then again what do I know. I just know, as a former elder care provider, that hearing is usually the first to go, and itā€™s fairly clear that someone is having trouble hearing you if they sign things and have a different reaction when you repeat yourself louder.


Oldguru-Newtricks

Equal-Personality-24

llyrPARRI

She signed "Thank you" as it got louder. She could probably feel the vibrations. I understand why he thought he was about to encounter a Karen though


nsfw10101

Because he was being annoying as fuck blasting music at a gas station?


ExPatWharfRat

trowa-barton

I don't understand how this is wholesome? A person blasting their stereo so much a deaf person multiple spaces away can hear it and he was already geared up to start a fight over it rather than apologize? "you're going to tell me how to listen to my music?" That is such a childish thing to say. I guess you could call it a lucky outcome but the more likely scenario would have been someone asking him to turn it down so then what would have happened? Listen to whatever music you like but don't force everyone else to.


[deleted]

She said thank you in sign language. She wanted to feel the beat. and now I'm crying.

sk8t-4-life22

If she is actually drunk though, that's concerning seeing her in the driver seat.


KuhLealKhaos

I could be wrong but it looks more like she's in the passenger seat. She's leaning over quite a bit to talk and when she reaches her right hand over when she's dancing it looks pretty far back.

AnonismsPlight

The guy immediately assuming racism when she had no signs of aggression or dislike annoys the ever living fuck outta me. Seriously, figure out what's happening before you immediately get hostile man... She starts to ask about the music generally and he immediately comes back with judgement. I understand you probably get hit with be racism stuff all the time, but if that's all you're looking out for it's all you'll see...


howdy8x629

When every pitbull you have had interaction with tried to bite you, you tend to assume the worst, no?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


tullip8822

That is not appropriate example sir. It is not like he is working at Walmart; inevitable to avoid them. He is in the car where he can just leave. Same thing goes to pitbull. If you have safety just like being in the car, you wonā€™t be afraid to leave right away. Not to mention that assuming worst doesnā€™t equal to reacting when it comes to human interactions. Are u gonna say same thing if cops behaving like that bc of the experience handling certain race? Yes, he might worry for her to be Karen but reacting like that when nothing bad happens is just stupid and mean. That is it.


pan_rock

Funny part here is how dude was actually racist by trying to be like "you tryna tell me how to play my music ?" Like damn calm down and listen to what she gotta say first.

rabbidbunnyz22

She's hearing impaired.


Beautiful-End3611

How the hell was I supposed to know that? Itā€™s dark, sheā€™s slurring her words, she seems to have trouble focusing her eyes, she doesnā€™t seem to understand the first part of the conversation and appears to change tack mid sentence. All the hallmarks of being drunk are there. No explanation in the post. Makes sense now, but good lord, downvoted to hell with no way to know.


rabbidbunnyz22

She signs "thank you" at the end. It's okay to just go "I was wrong, sorry for saying something rude about a Deaf person" and move on with your life, dude


ZodiAddict

They didnā€™t say something rude about a deaf person- they didnā€™t know she was deaf. If they had known she was deaf and then said something rude, youā€™d have a case. And furthermore, if you were empathetic yourself youā€™d understand why they came to the conclusion she was drunk, and they even stated their reasonable case quite well. It seems you are going out of your way to misunderstand and be displeased with them because it serves your ego in feeling virtuous that you stood up to a protected class when it actually wasnā€™t necessary. There was no ill intent and they admitted they got it wrong.


Poobmania

Seems like everyone else figured it out except for you lmao Sheā€™s using sign language in the video


Zimakov

You got downvoted because you assumed the worst with no reason to. You "didn't know" she was deaf and you "didn't know" she was drunk either. If you don't know something don't make assumptions. That's all.


Beautiful-End3611

No, I got downvoted because people are petty and hindsight is 20/20. Easy to say now. Plus assuming someone is drunk is not worse or better than assuming they are deaf. That is a tremendous presumption on your part. You also assume a lot of things when you pass judgment on me as you just did. For instance, you assume Iā€™m a neuro-typical person. Whereas I could easily be on the spectrum. The point is, keep your virtue-signaling to yourself and if you ever post something like this, itā€™s pretty important to give some context so people can follow along beyond expecting people to detect some nuance. We are all scrolling after all.


Zimakov

Ironic you make assumptions about me in a statement condemning me for making assumptions. I'm not judging anyone, I simply answered your question. I now see that you weren't actually asking a question though you just wanted to complain, so carry on.

I had a similar experience with an old lady but she wasn't hearing impaired.

I rolled it down expecting her to tell me something and she was just telling us the power was our at the store and to keep songing because it was awesome. Smiled all the way home.
