I noticed you said in your post that you assign voices to people.interesting.It is not a concious effort with me.Its there.I have often thot it works like this(this is just my feeling) It seems like the eyes gather a ffile of info on the person/subject and pass it along to the brain where it's processed and given an appropriate voice.I doubt I will ever hear Goldie Hawns voice when Arnold Scwarzneggar comes on the screen.smile I am interested in hearing from other crewbies who after they lost thier hearing DONT have these sounds as I thot it was a universal thing. June, When did you lose your hearing and how long had you been a hearing person before the onset of deafness?? And of course do you drink Cherry Coke? Maybe this has had an effect on me LOL....Jim in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 1999 Report Share Posted November 13, 1999 Hey Jim -- that's a thought. Maybe it's the Diet Coke. Maybe we should boycott Coke products. (FYI - I think that's kind of silly!! Umm.. Let's see...I had my first AN surgery in October of 1983 (left side) and my second December 1983 (riight side) when I was 19 years old. I could still hear after the first surgery and by November - Thanksgiving I was totally deaf (110%). So, I remember (sometimes) how people sound and just put the voice I remember with the moving lips. It might not be right, but it works for me. And if I don't know how the person's real voice sounds, then I just give them one from " my " collection. June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 1999 Report Share Posted November 13, 1999 Oh I forgot, the first indication that there was anything wrong with my hearing was in the late summer of 1983 when I picked up the telephone and put it to my left ear and heard nothing.
