Whereas after that point, you will hear your own voice, but then you're not used to using it to, form words and speech is going to be, speech is going to be difficult.
01:12
Not communication, very clearly, not communication, but speech, local, physical speech.
01:19
So after three, speech will, i'm going to say will there, will be more difficult.
01:44
Here's the argument against.

So therefore, communication is a non -issue within the deaf community.
02:18
They just don't communicate with verbal language usually.
02:27
