Okay, this is getting a little harder now than it was at first. This is an issue I don't think I want professional help on, but I want personal experiences. Now, the doctor did tell me that I have no hearing left, but these past few days, I've been feeling like a really miss listening to music a lot, especially the soft gentle "feel good" music I used to listen to when I needed something to make me smile. Today, I tried a little experiment. I plugged in an amplifier to my TV's audio system and cranked the sound system volume to max, the TV volume to max, and the amp to max, and I sandwiched my head between the two speakers, then I played the end credits for Lord of the Rings (Two Towers). The speakers sure vibrated!!, and I could feel the wind blow from them really well, and I even smelled something or other from them, but there was still no sound. I'm sure that was a stupid thing to do, but I figured I had nothing to lose but good relations with my neighbours. I live on a farm, so there's a good chance they still didn't hear it.
I wonder if there's anybody reading this who lost their hearing around my age who used to enjoy soft/relaxing music. I'd like to know what you've done to cope with it, and I don't wanna hear what a counsellor would say. I wanna hear your own experiences. Of course, anybody who has something to say can say it. I know people who liked music with a heavy beat could just vibrate their chair or whatever, but that doesn't work with the kind of music I'm thinking about.
Another question I had which I think is on this topic is, if you run a sub woofer without speakers, is there still sound? Would I annoy other people in the house if I did that? I'm home alone this weekend, so I'm trying all sorts of experiments with converting music to something I can perceive, lol!
Really, I'm not feeling depressed or anything, and I feel like I'm coping really well, but I just really miss listening to my music.
