Hypothetical tulpa creation by a deaf person

Recommended Posts

I got to thinking, based on NED's computer tulpa thread where he uses a chat interface with his non-verbal tulpa, just what would a tulpa made by a deaf person be like?

 

They could certainly use a chat or sign language to communicate, but since they're in the creator's mind, maybe they could make some sort of audible communication if the creator had some concept of what language and sound in general is like. In that case, how much would the tulpa be able to hear that the creator can't? Could the tulpa be some kind of bridge to assist in hearing again? Or would the tulpa be deaf too? Maybe without verbal communication necessary, creation would even be faster.

If they weren't born deaf then they could make it so they hear the tulpa. If they never knew what words sound like, then no, but they could do sign language like you said. If the creator is only deaf because their brain refuses to tell them what it heard, and not because they actually can't hear, then the tulpa may also be able to hear and translate.

Could they communicate without sound? Most definitely, assuming that they have actually learned some sort of language of course. Verbally? Maybe, if they haven't been deaf all of their life, since they'd actually need memories of speaking and sound to communicate in that fashion.

I regret forgetting what it's called. A good example would be Nunally in Code Geass, though. Her eyes were perfectly fine, but the trauma of seeing her mother die in front of her caused her brain to say 'screw it, cut it off'. Her eyes still took in light, but her brain wouldn't interpret it for her.
