If world became silence?

Question

Imagine to wake up, surrounded in utter silence. It's so quiet that you almost drown in it. Then you find yourself unable to hear your steps, or your own voice. You're suddenly deaf. People in streets are gesturing, someone panicks, someone tries to gesture you for explaination, her mouth flapping in silence.

Months passes, a cure is not found. Somehow, mankind is a deaf race with no voice at all. What would change then?

Answer 1

Did you watch that episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer?Where all their voices are taken away?

Answer 2

sign language..learn it....it's fun.

Answer 3

This, logically, would probably not hapen. It sounds like a very good story idea though! If it did I agree with thee above, sign language would definatly work out and it is easy to learn. Hope this helps.
