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

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.

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? That’s really cool. And you’re right, Edward is good at mixing.
