An old woman visits the doctor for a routine check-up. "Doctor, I have constant gas, but the farts are always silent and they don't stink!" The doctor prescribes her some pills and sends her on her way. Two weeks later she returns for a follow-up. "Doctor, I still have constant silent farts, but now they stink!" Doctor replies, "Alright, so we have cleared out those sinuses, now for your hearing..."

The incident also highlighted the lack of access to such information when loved ones aren't able to sign.

Sign language isn't the only method of sensory perception.

Do these deaf children also have difficulty smelling farts?

Seems like a dubious premise.

Can confirm that many deaf people have had the experience of learning that farts make noise in an embarrassingly public setting, it's A Thing.

Smelling doesn't tell you who dealt it.

Many Deaf people have heightened senses of smell and vision.

This increased perception gives them an edge against the fart-dealing deception.
