Curious on this one.. can a person who is deaf and mute hear what their inner thoughts are.. like when someone who is hearing/talking thinks in their head i hear my voice. Is it the same with deaf/mute people?

I work in the Deaf Community, however I am not Deaf. Thus, I can't answer your question about the inner workings of a Deaf person's mind. Heads up though, "deaf-mute" is an inappropriate term. That term hasn't been used in many many years-thank god. Generally, Deaf or Hard-of-hearing is better.

Yes they can here thoughts. They dream of visions they have seen. I knew this "deaf mute" that could not speak, nor hear. At times he would go to the football games with us and when the band was on the field and the drums started to roll he would look at us and make the motions the drummers were making. He could hear the vibrations even though he could not hear.

Yes, but without a voice as we know it. For example, study a totally deaf person when they think they are alone and their hand will appear to be rapidly signing in a very subtle way against their thigh. That is one way of witnessing themselves talking to themselves in thought.
Even if they are not moving their hands, they sense the gestures and sites giving them a story of events just as complex as hearing.
Read Helen Keller. You will get a great idea on how her mind works being both deaf and blind and how she talks to herself without hearing sound waves or images.

Do you hear your words, once you think of. questioning isn't a vocal technique and maximum recommendations are a remember of imagining devoid of words. Deaf human beings do a similar factor. in the event that they weren't born deaf, they are in a position to nonetheless bear in mind the sounds of speech, however the born deaf think of as we do devoid of the occasional word processing. They study to communicate with tips from the flow of lips and the vibration of the larynx.

deaf mute does not hear..eventually cannot speak to himself,,however they can think to theirselves in a different way than we do because yet they can see..so,their thoughts are photographic(visual) translation more than being verbal thinking...while other people who are deaf mute and blind are able to only feel things...so their inner thoughts are only translated through tactile mechanism...I guess!!!

You do not hear your voice. You IMAGINE you hear your voice. Thought has no voice. If a deaf/mute can think, and they can, they can "hear" their thoughts.

WHOA! That is a cool question. I'd have to agree: No they wouldn't experince thought through that sensory mechanism since they don't experience life through sound, either. I don't know how they would think, but they would have their own means of doing so. Same goes for dreaming.

Yes they can. Just the same way you and I can. The reason
is because our thoughts do not consist of sound.
