Answer 4

they can feel it coming through the air. its like nosey and there for leaves rumbling in the air its hard to explain.

Answer 5

It depends on when they become deaf. Beethoven became deaf in old age and continued composing. He could hear in his mind the music he was writing.

Answer 6

If someone is truly deaf, they can only feel vibrations on their skin.  This is a poor replacement for ears, since skin is far less sensitive to changes in pitch and tonal quality.

A deaf person could tell the difference between a low note and a high one if they were sufficiently loud, but it's very unlikely they could distinguish the difference between two people talking, or even detect voices at all beyond a small distance.

Answer 7

Sometimes, yes sound can be seen, but when it comes to music it's mostly the vibration. I have a speaker sitting on my floor and if I put my feet on the floor, I can feel the music and I have excellent rhythm even without my hearing aids.
