Music for the deaf
Today I started with the idea of making a nice post on collagen, marine collagen, hyaluronic acid and so on and so forth. And then I was talking to her husband and I thought about making a post about music.
Premise … I’m speaking from my personal experience, as far as I’m concerned and I don’t judge (God forbid) anyone.
I became deaf at 40. the music now with the cochlear implant has nothing to do with the music i heard before. But not at all. I remember the songs he knew from auditory memory, but for new ones it is very very difficult, if not impossible.
I can hear the beat, but the precise instruments can’t…let alone the lyrics.
So when I read posts from some deaf people who say they hear music I don’t know what to think. Maybe I did something wrong (and it’s very probable) or comunuqe there’s something that doesn’t add up.
That is, if one can really hear the music as before, tell me how he did it, so do I!
There’s a lot of talk about accessible concerts for deaf people, and that’s a wonderful thing. But I would like to ask what is that experience like?
Since I became deaf, no cinema because there are no subtitles, no more theater then, please.
I hadn’t even thought about the concerts anymore, maybe it was also my fault, out of fear. Then when I read about those who say “ah, but there’s nothing that can stop you, it’s you who are a block for yourself”. But maybe it’s true, maybe I’m a coward in this sense.
But I’m more afraid of being hurt … maybe not, I let myself go and enjoy myself.
Frankly I don’t know.
Ps I’ll do the article on collagen tomorrow
