Do deaf individuals "listen to" or experience music? If so, how? Would a visual element like the depiction of sound/music waves elevate the experience for you?

My final year project for university includes creating a device relating to elevating musical experience for disable individuals. I had a few questions for deaf individuals which would help me in my research, please let me know if any of you are willing to answer some of them. Thank you!
