Everyone in my family is pretty much tone-deaf.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am tone deaf.
We have over 25 deaf individuals in my family.
I'm literally tone-deaf with singing. It's unreal.
I was born deaf. Sound never existed in my life, and this is completely normal to me.
Growing up, I was always involved in the deaf community.
The only thing I can't do is hear. I can drive, I have a life with four kids, I work on TV, I do movies, so the deafness question, is it that they want to know because, what? Not sure.
I was actually tone deaf until I had tumors in my ears - I had very small ear canals - removed. Once they fixed that, I was actually able to sing in a pleasant manner.
Ultimately, I don't think you can teach a tone-deaf person how to sing. Some talents you're just born with, unfortunately.
My family was dubbed the loud family, but that was mostly because of my mother.
I am fourth-generation deaf, which means everyone in my immediate family is deaf. So I grew up always having 100 percent accessibility to language and communication, which was wonderful and something so many deaf people don't have.
