Do people who are born deaf have an inner voice?!


Question:

Do people who are born deaf have an inner voice?

You know - as you read silently to yourself, you can actually like hear it in your head. Or if you think something but not say it out loud. That kind of inner voice.

After reading the question "Do people who are born blind ever dream?" to my neighbor, he asked me the puzzling question "Do people who are born deaf have an inner voice?"

I've been wondering this for like a month and a half now. Does anyone know the answer.


[ If anyone was wondering if people who are born blind ever dream - yes they dream, but instead of "seeing" shapes, textures and colors, they "hear" and "feel" the dream. ]

Thanks!

Ah, neither. I had no idea what section to put it under, and it had set it under jokes and riddles. Sorry. But can some one answer it?


Answers:

The brain has a special capacity to develop phonological representations, even when it does not have auditory input. The representations might be dramatically different from what hearing individuals hear. Nevertheless, they function in the mind as 'sounds.'" Deaf schizophrenics have auditory hallucinations, and blind schizophrenics have visual ones.

The brain, it seems, has a mind of its own. So yes, deaf people can have an auditory inner voice.
