Hello everyone!
Hope you are well. As a member of the hearing community I've been fascinated by sound. I took piano as a child and fell in love with it. A close family member of mine is deaf and really enjoys music although she has no implants or hearing aids.
I've been curious what it's like to not be distracted by the sounds of music, I've been wondering what it's' like to just feel it. So I'm wondering what music is to individuals within the deaf community who have chosen to "keep it natural" in the sense of not getting hearing aids. Are you still able to feel the emotional connection when a song plays through the vibrations? Is it something you think about? Whats the best part of the experience for you? I want to know what it is like.
A hearing person tends to process music differently than a person who is deaf. We rely heavily on our sense of sound to give us a large part of what a particular song has to offer, but the one aspect of music that doesn't need to be heard is the part that can trigger emotions and feelings... and that's harmony.
(p.s - if you have implants or hearing aids still feel free to post about what music is like for you. Before and after would be a beautiful thing to share!)
