Hello. I'm just curious. I like music and songs. But my hearing loss make me can't differentiate the music sound or something like that. So I don't think I can identify any music notes and playing instrument. Almost everything sound same to me. I would like to learn guitar. There's anything can I do about it?
 
first off -- dont play anything if it doesnt please you soundwise. You really dont need to tell the difference of each note, but the overall sound. with guitar - its important if you have HA and you can tell the difference between vibrato notes or discordant sounds so at least you dont embarrass yourself.
 
You could buy a Electronic Tuner . I know woman who a blues singer and she is hearing and she used a Electronic Tuner to tune her guitar .
 
I ask because of stories like this:

For example, Evelyn Glennie, a deaf Scottish percussionist, was leading 1000 drummers at the 2012 London Olympic Games. She does not even rely on hearing aids – she feels music through her body and “regularly play barefoot during both live performances and studio recordings in order to feel the music better.”
 
It's very easy to feel bass through your body, but not treble (voices) so detecting pitch changes would be near impossible with no hearing. So in your example above, I understand leading drummers would be easier than singers because of the bass.

If you play an electric guitar, (acoustic or hard body) you can plug it into the tunner to make sure the strings are in tune. You don't need to rely on hearing for that - I don't regardless because it's just too difficult for me to tune by ear. You can also raise the volume of the instrument via the amp, and wear headphones if you have any hearing. Some digital pianos allow you to use headphones too.
