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.
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.
Well sir, I have to say I do not like that prospect one bit.
I wouldn’t function.
Would put me in a deep deep depression. Just shoot me and get it over with
Go bloody mad/sad. The dissatisfaction that comes from losing something you always could do and probably took for granted would be immense. And music doesn’t just impact songs… it would make shows and movies and video games suck too, since they rely so heavily on music to texture scenes and create mood.

Serious genuine trouble, the dopamine I get from new music keeps everyone around me alive.
I don’t think that could work. There is always a song or a beat playing in my head 24/7. Sometimes something I just heard, sometimes something from years ago, and sometimes its some nonsense I just came up with.
Even if I went deaf, the beat would continue. But I’d be bummed I couldn’t listen to new stuff.
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
What’s the point of even living like that?
I would be devestated! Music is one of the things that make me feel grounded and without it, my life would absolutely be less normal.
Theoretically that would just mean going deaf right? If so I could still feel vibrations and so on. So I guess it suck immensely but I wouldn’t lose the ability to partake in rhythms and may be able to enjoy bass.
I went to university with a large deaf population. Back then I thought it was weird seeing people I knew were deaf walking around with really nice over ear headphones on (like beats and such) until I heard one listening and the bass was cranked seemingly all the way up. Then it made sense
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.
Extremely sad. I do often wonder what the last song I will ever listen to will be, and along with that if the song I am listening to right now will be the last time I ever hear it.
