I can’t hear worth 2 cents, but I did pretty good here. I know this because my husband, Mr. Perfect Pitch, told me I did.
He has a computer set up that is only for audio recordings. He is fantastic at recording and mixing! So we decided to do a song together.
We ended up choosing the song “Whiskey Lullaby” that is originally sang by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss.
All of the music was played by Edward, and the vocals were by both of us. It’s not perfect, I’m sure. But remember, I’m deaf.

Let me know what you think. Isn’t Edward great with music?

That’s really cool. And you’re right, Edward is good at mixing.
I do have a question that I’ve been wondering for awhile.. sorry if it is a stupid question, but I don’t know. but, when you talk, even though you can’t really hear other people, can you hear yourself? I know someone who’s completely deaf wouldn’t be able to (or at least I wouldn’t think so), but I was just curious, since you can hear a tad bit. Because my voice sounds loud to me in my head, so I was wondering if you can hear your own voice better?

I think that it is more the memory of the voice that deaf people hear. Even if they are talking in a “deaf voice”, it will still sound completely normal to themselves because it is what the brain remembers. Might be wrong, I don’t know. I know some deaf people that talk in a “deaf voice” but say that it sounds normal to them. What hard is knowing if you’re talking too loud or not loud enough. That is part of the reason I make people touch me when I am talking to them. I want to know exactly how close or faraway they are. I really hate talking normally, and then a person walks off and says that they are still listening. They might be, but then I have no idea how far away they are to make the voice louder to make what I’m saying be heard.
I know the song wasn’t perfect, and I don’t expect it to be. But singing is something I always loved, and something I still enjoy doing even though I can’t hear anymore.
I put it up for people to listen to, because it’s not the most terrible thing in the words and to show that I am not letting this disease stop me. Yeah, I am proud because I can, a lot of people can’t say the same thing But as long as I can, I will continue to sing since I enjoy it so much! Sucks for a singer to go deaf.

It’s not perfect, but you did very well. Hey, Beethoven was completely deaf and look at all the stuf he wrote. ;D
