Musicians and Deafness

http://djembeslappin.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-do-deaf-enjoy-music.html.

I so wish I could understand and listen to music just by feeling the virbations the instruments create while being played. I know the best way to feel the music vibrations is to listen to deep and heavy bass and drums. I sometimes feel the bass vibrations through the steering wheel as I'm driving and when it's crazy bass, I feel the vibrations coming out of the speakers and my pants move a little bit. It's an amazing feeling. But if I ever go deaf, it would be really, really hard for me. I like to talk a lot and hear what people have to say, and I listen to loud-ish music every day for long intervals throughout the day. If I ever lose the ability to hear, I don't know what I would do. I definately know I would really annoy my neighbors or the people in the cars next to me because I will be blasting music with heavy bass so I could feel the vibrations. I think it would be the coolest thing if there was a portal or machine like thing you can walk into, put in a song, and there were no lyrics. Just heavy vibrations. Your entire body would feel the sensations of the music, and I think that would be one of the best feelings ever. That's why I enjoy going to concerts and standing close to the speakers. The pure power coming out of those things once my chest bounce back and forth and my hair moved a little bit, and I couldn't stop smiling and yelling at the top of my lungs. However, I'm a little hesitant to blast my car bass that loud. I don't want to totally destroy my speakers in my car. But it's dissapointing, for my bass can go much louder and heavier in my car, but I don't want to push it because I don't want to have to get new speakers. All in all, if I were deaf, I wouldn't mind that much when it comes to music. I would just crank it up, feel the vibrations, and have total disregard to those next to me. I want to listen to my music, and I'll do it, whatever means necessary.
