I could focus in on the pure music inside my head that isn’t degraded by the normal music transmission channels.
I’ve read enough written music to be able to hear it in my mind’s ear when I read it, so learning new stuff would still be possible.
I would miss being able to crank Summer of 69 up to 11 though.





Naah don’t do that. Beethoven went deaf and that didn’t stop him. There are other deaf musicians out there: Evelyn Glennie for one. And I’ve played for a deaf person who said she was able to feel the vibrations even if she couldn’t hear them, so she definitely appreciated the performance.
