Yes, I am aware of Beethoven's loss of hearing and I certainly do not disagree with you. What I was saying is that I cannot make a unbiased judgment in this matter because I am hearing! I am aware of the vibrational translation (i.e. Bison Song!). You do not say whether you are deaf or hearing! We can try but, I can never be sure of the truly silent experience, nor do I think any hearing person could. For example, bagpipes playing Amazing Grace at my fathers funeral was a purely auditory experience.


Please understand that I am saying, "I do not know!" NOT "I do know:-))"
