do babies breath loudly?

do we breath loudly when we sleep?

these are some questions that may give you some insight--i dont know your answer, but am curious

[vicariance]

These are helpful questions. They suggest to me that the answer is yes, all these types of people breathe loudly on average, which is to say when they are taxed they make less effort to quiet their breathing than those who are aware of their breath-loudness, but generally have equal quietude when they are fully serene.

having worked very closely with more than one deaf person, your answer is:

you know what, they kinda do.

but its not outlandish or obnoxiously loud or anything like that. but louder than the average person, yes, i think they both did.

We think my sister is hard of hearing, and are going to have her tested, and she does everything really loudly.

teri's mom was a sign language interpreter and teri said that deaf people didn't breathe louder but did make a lot of noises and such...like grunts that normal people don't make
