I enjoy music beat through ear burst volume of headphone attached to speaker's headphone jack. I can not understand what singer's saying but I can understand through subtitles and enjoy music beat while watching subtitles.

Below is an example of music video with subs that I really enjoy very much :

I like to do the same. I listen to songs on YouTube and google the lyrics and read the lyrics ahead of time so I can enjoy them with the music.

Bottesini

Nope. I have better things to do.

I tend to leave db levels low and listen to the beats.

Since I am only HOH, I am able to listen and enjoy music. However, I can rarely understand the lyrics... so if I want to know what is being said in a song, I will search up the lyrics. Much like everyone else, I like to hear the beat and I like the rhythm of the songs. I like country music primarily because of the beat... I can't understand a word those country singers say () but I like the music!

Simown

Exactly the same with me, or some videos that have the lyrics as the video. They can be easier to follow.

Listening to music and the beat is AWESOME!!

Getting in sync. I totally love it even if I can not hear the words. Good music with rhythm gets me going!


LIke the song...

"Give me the beat boys, gonna get lost in rock and roll..... and Drift away!!"

Know the song.. but can not think to save my life... Who sings it. I know it is right on the edge of my mind....

Babyblue

I had to google it it was driving me nuts..

here it is

I love listening to music and putting my forearms on the counter to feel the vibrations. Always gets me dancing.

Babyblue

Hell yeah!! I find it soothing and relaxing to do so.

CJB

Babyblue

Either you love it or you don't... I find myself to have a passion for it.

Babyblue

Who originally started that song? "Drift Away" ?

JClarke

I dont listen to music, since Im too deaf to it but I like the feel of the beats on the speakers, I insert the bass-related music on CD and pop it in my stero system in my new car, and the bass gets crackin'

Oh, listening to music in the car is great cause you can feel the bass pounding through the car walls.

MoonDrifter

I plug my CI to my laptop and play music.

Cool...SO you do enjoy music in one way or another!

I know I do!

Bottesini

I don't like to listen passively, and you may notice I said "trying" to learn.

Maybe no one will ever want to see me do that, but yes I enjoy the concept of maybe I can learn the piano. Not the subltle parts like Jiro talked about with phrasing and pedal, but to get the notes in the right order at the right time.

Jiro

not really. it gives me headache but I do like it when I'm in that mood. Most of time..... I like to listen to something like Chloe Agnew (at high volume) or Brandenburg Concertos.

Oddly enough - when I'm in good mood, I prefer to listen to something somber and deep like Chloe's Ave Maria.

You have to know the rhythm and the beat. Get your body in the flow in order to learn. Either by hearing what you can, feeling the beat or what not.

Just getting it that mode is an awesome feeling!


I applaud you for "trying" to learn. I am sure you can do it! Takes a little passion for music.

I always enjoy music whether its my own or others. In my studio, I have a half stack with a decent sized speaker that is behind me so that the sound goes to the microphones of my hearing aids better. I also can feel the beat on the floor too which makes for a more inclusive experience of music. I have never in my life understood lyrics, so I guess I do not know what I am missing as far as that goes. I LOVE anything 80's because of the driving beats and mid-freq synth parts and strong bass lines. I like to play Foriener's Inside Information CD real loud on my amp. I usually wait until I am home alone to crank up the amp to where I can fully hear it and then jam out. I also listen to 80's cds to find sounds that I want to recreate on my synthesizers. I can also control every parameter of a sound on my synths. I create sounds with a basic square wave that is rich in harmonics and then use parameters that are called ENVs for pitch, wave-shaping, and signal amp output. Every sound (waveforms) has a beginning, middle and end phase or ADSR. I tend to make sounds that are easier to hear even with hearing loss, like sounds with a strong ADSR and that do not increase in volume so much that there is distortion of the waveform over time.
Anyway I really enjoy listening to music and creating it as well. I slowly lost more of my hearing and always kept playing music and always will no matter what. Even with a very limited freq range from 250hz to 3khz, I work with what I have. I play and create music everyday for 20 years of my 26 year life. Keeps me happy.
Reading the posts that others have written about music is inspiring to me and I talk about AD and ADers to my sis too.
Keep jammin out everyone!

I believe it was Dobie Gray who recorded the original version. I can't remember what year, though. The current version by Uncle Kracker is pretty good, too. I enjoy listening to it.
