Man speaks to deaf girlfriend

In a TikTok video by @majacket.10, a young guy was on a video call with his girlfriend. The clip went viral after people noticed that he was using sign language to communicate with his partner, who has a hearing impairment. The young man's effort to use South African Sign Language (SASL) for his deaf partner is essential for a healthy relationship according to an NID representative who told Briefly News:

"This [hearing partner using SASL] improves communication, reduces misunderstandings, and demonstrates respect for the deaf partner’s language and culture. Additionally, it strengthens the emotional connection by enabling deeper and more meaningful conversations."

Many people thought it was sweet that the young man went out of his way to communicate with his girlfriend. Some people also wondered how their relationship works.

The NID highlighted to Briefly News that hearing and deaf romantic partners can sometimes face challenges with connecting due to communication breakdown, and cultural differences, especially when the hearing partner is oblivious to the challenges deaf people face. The NID advised those who may be in deaf and hearing partner relationships:

"Communication is very important, whether through sign language, texting, or making use of assistive technology, to ensure clear and meaningful interactions. Ultimately, a relationship between a deaf and hearing person can be just as loving and fulfilling as any other when both partners are committed to understanding, learning, and growing together."
