That guy reminds me of my Aunt Bessie. She was deaf from birth. My whole time growing up the one thing I knew, Aunt Bessie was stone deaf. Then one day she is over at our place and we are blasting music real loud because mom and dad are out and Aunt Bessie can’t even rat us out because she is after all stone deaf.
Well, Aunt Bessie, she felt the vibrations through the floor. She came downstairs, eyes wide as saucers, huge smile on her face, goes right up to one of the speakers and is holding it just like this guy is holding his balloon! Huge you know what eating grin on her face! Deliriously happy! Never seen her so happy!
Man that was fun. So listening is a skill, yeah. But it is also an elemental human experience. So elemental you can hear it even without hearing it.
