A while ago there was a question about deafness.
I answered it and afterwards I discussed it with my girlfriend.
She assumed that a person who was born deaf could not (vocally) talk (as long as that person is still deaf).
Because that person has never heard sound (also not her/his own sound) he/she can not make understandable sounds, is what my girlfriend thinks.
Was that assumption correct?
Whenever a deaf person’s hearing is (in whatever way) repaired, and he/she had never been able to talk, can that person learn to talk?
