DO DEAF PEOPLE LISTEN TO MUSIC?
Many Deaf and or Hard of Hearing people love music. Many do not. We have found that most people who love music have some, even if minimal, hearing. All Deaf people tend to enjoy physical vibrations, and that often can be felt through music. Understand, when the Deaf dance, they don't necessarily feel the vibrations around them. If they can, either they are touching a solid object which will transmit the vibrations, or there is a lot of bass cranked into the surrounding sound system.  Many Hard of Hearing people or Severe/Profound Deaf people enjoy listening to music with a hearing aid. It doesn't transmit a complete auditory image of what we as Hearing people can understand as music, but it is stimulating and interesting to them in its own right.

HOW DO DEAF PEOPLE MAKE A PHONE CALL?
Most Deaf individuals these days are text messaging maniacs. If the Deaf want to make business calls, some choose to use the Relay Service and others a Video Relay Service. These are services mandated by the Federal Government and provide the deaf with a method of talking to Hearing individuals and companies through an operator.
