    Do deaf people "hear" sounds in their heads?

    Yes, that much I know. Although, it's impossible for me to understand what it would be like without that voice constantly talking in my head, I know that it doesn't have to be there for my brain to process the information, or for me to understand it. I've read that many deaf people think in sign...

    Thank you for very accurately describing my thoughts, in a way that I couldn't. :) I wish that someone who has actually been deaf from birth or a young age would answer my questions. It's why I came here. But the answers I have gotten have given me a lot to think of anyways. And maybe it's...

Do all sounds in one's mind come from memory? And does...

    Do deaf people "hear" sounds in their heads?

    Hi! I'm curious about something that I've been thinking about. I'm a hearing person and I constantly "hear" sounds in my mind. Do someone who has always been completely deaf "hear" anything in their heads? I'm not asking about how you process language, but about sounds in general. Are there any...
