    I would honestly kms. I’d rather be blind… big props to people who have experienced that and still exist.

      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.

    It would be pretty devastating, but I’d at least have my memories of music and the ability to feel vibrations. I think I could still get some enjoyment out of playing drums. But it would definitely suck.

    I love music and almost every time something is playing on my headphones.
    If I would go deaf, then songs would continue playing in my head. And then start to decay until only broken fragments loop through my head forever and drive me insane.

    Still, I would rather loose my hearing then my eyesight. But lets hope nobody here looses any of it.

    Going deaf would be terrible, but at least I’d have the music inside me I’ve heard before.

    Not even being able to hear music in my own head would be… I’m sure I could find a way to live with it, but I’d miss it every day.

    I don’t know if I could live honestly. Too quiet. I listen to music from 10am to bedtime (if i’m home and not otherwise occupied) then play music in my sleep. Sometimes I watch music videos instead of tv

    I look for new music to add to my collection every year and make a playlist for every year. I started purchasing and “purchasing” music again this year and saving it all to a drive.

    I love all kinds of music and love to sing. That would be such a sad life

    I’d be sad but I’d probably still go on. I could still feel it, I could even kinda hear it, too, through my imagination and reading the sheet music.

    If I was ever blinded and couldn’t see, though? I would end my life pretty quickly.
