What about people who are completely deaf since birth?
- robg 3y agoDifferent mechanisms, you’re born with ~100x the amount of neurons you’ll have as an adult, those normally used for hearing get adapted and trained on other stimuli.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoMake sure their glasses prescriptions are up to date & that they are engaged with the world (and not slipping away) too.
- wirrbel 3y agoI would assume they compensate with other senses and so if they get blind at high age they are at equal risk.
- thomastjeffery 3y agoThere is no pre-existing neutral training in a newborn's brain. Adults who become deaf lose a stimulus that their brains are already trained to use.
