Do deaf people like listening to music?
Studies have shown that many deaf and hard of hearing people do in fact enjoy music as much as those who can hear, the majority of those asked who loved music did have hearing to some extent but all deaf people can feel physical vibrations and this is often felt through music. Deaf people will even dance to music, they are able to this either by standing close to a solid object such as a counter top or table and rest there hand on it, this way vibrations from the music will be felt through the object. The bass in the sound system is also relied upon as this will give out vibrations also. Many profoundly deaf people also enjoy music in a different way to you or I when listening to music through the use of a hearing aid, it doesn’t sound the same as what a hearing person will hear but deaf people find it stimulating in its own right.
