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 would honestly kms. I'd rather be blind... big props to people who have experienced that and still exist.
i listen to music constantly. it is my passion hobby, my favorite form of art, my special interest. there are over 4600 artists in my library and i’m always visiting new and old sounds. i love music.
i would be devastated. i don’t know. i’m not sure if i could find living bearable.
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.
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 sometimes contemplate if i rather lose an ear or an eye.
On the surface an eye seems so much more important but vision with one eye is still mostly the same vision with one corner cut out where hearing from one ear is instantly very disorienting.
Also i believe different notes hit my brain differently depending on the ear, hence why stereo is the norm.
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 don't even know. I could live without every other form of media, but I really don't know what I'd do without music. I'd rather lose a limb
I would be beyond heartbroken and go mad
I'd live, but it'd suck even more.
Pretty fucking sad, especially now. I have always loved music. I remember riding around with my ma in Tampa listening to 98 rock when the radio was still big. We would jam out to it all. Now I'm 33 and got pandora with all my favorite music...and my 5 yr old in the backseat jamming out, singing his little heart out to Godsmack or Metallica and many more. It fills my heart and makes it skip beats to hear his voice singing along. I would hate to never get to hear that again.
Oh man.... Music lifts me out of a funk really quick. I'd be depressed and way more grumpy. I'm always listening to something
