White noise is found within the hearing environment, as it is part of their lives everyday. Examples would be the ocean waves, rainfall, crowd noises, and appliances.

In our deaf environment we do have our own white noise which we are overwhelmed with. Drowning in the ocean waves that may be beautiful for the hearing mainstream can cause us to feel overwhelmed in our own heads. The waves symbolize our own interpretation of being overwhelmed.

We are all are oppressed, suppressing, and experiencing obstacles ( ASL signs within the chest area ) with the white noise related to our: hearing (inner ear works), vocals ( screaming mouth), soul (4 hearts : chambers all stressed out) vision ( eyes with muscles all strained out - stretched ), touch ( hands/arms moving along to make everything go out . The mind blowing experience is at the end with the hands trying to get all the white noise out. The hands showing SIGN is the end result of being able to express the experience.

It is a repetitive cycle that will always be part of the diverse Deaf community and we all do not show much of it on our faces. We feel it through every fiber of our bodies within the hearing environment.

White noise is auditory for hearing people. Deafening White Noise is internal in the diverse Deaf community.
