[QUOTE="malus handle, post: 2549135, member: 97655"] thank you deerheart12 for responding. It's a lonely, confusing place here in my half deaf world, and I can 1/2 imagine being deaf, but trying to give space to my brain to make new pathways is the most important thing now. I have a question(s) can a deaf person understand, or even get a sense, of words and music, through "bone conduction"?, Like I can,? (we should experiment.) I can experience and understand sound from anywhere on my skull, by pressing the phone tight on my skull. can a deaf person feel this? through my bone conduction phone. Not being able to, instantly identify, where a sound (especially a loud sound) is coming from, is the most disabling thing, It "freezes" me for a moment, where as a deaf person would not be aware of it. or? A helicopter flying overhead should be easy to spot once it's heard, right? In my situation, I rotate my head like a radar dish until I can pinpoint the location, and sometimes I can not locate the helicopter in the sky, so very strange. thanks again for taking interest in my "rock" story. I am a Colorado Master Plumber in the San Juan Mountains, and for 40 some odd years , I've dug allot of rock, but this one "got" me for sure . :gpost::wave: craig [/QUOTE]
