me I should shave a mustache,
but she has normal hearing.
SHEILA: I actually
had a professor at MIT
when I was a freshman,
I comment one day I
had hard time understanding
him because he
had like a full beard.
Then, next day, he
shaved off everything.
So he came up to me, I
was like, who are you?
[INAUDIBLE]
PROFESSOR: That's very nice.
Wow, interesting!
I didn't shave off my mustache,
neither for my assistant,
nor for my wife.
SHEILA: [INAUDIBLE]
half is better.
PROFESSOR: Maybe.
Yeah.
So if an audiologist were to
test your speech comprehension,
do you think you'd
get every word correct
or do you think you'd miss some?
SHEILA: I think I
probably miss some words
or may not pronounce
some words correctly,
because the way I hear
words may sound differently
from what you hear.
And sometimes, in
English language,
some words don't sound exactly
the way it's written down.
So I think my speech is
not bad because, based
on my interaction
with people, they
seem to understand
me most of the time.
Yeah?
AUDIENCE: Do you know
any other languages?
SHEILA: I know another language.
Yeah.
I know a couple of languages.
I know American sign language.
I use it often to
help, in some cases,
when cochlear
implant don't work.
For example, if I'm
in a loud bar or party
and I can't hear people,
but if I use sign language,
I understand people.
