PFH you say the question of your experience of NON hearing is absurd? You seem to deny silence.Rational discussion is obviously irrelevant.
I acknowledge you have been deaf/silence longer than me. 28 years to 4 1/4. I didn't take me very long to experience silence when I became deaf. from all incoming sound-which is what I asked you. How you interact in your social environment is a different matter- hopefully not silence.
Interesting you label it a "lifestyle' WITHOUT ANY REFERENCE TO ONE'S BODY. Is one's Cochlea imaginary? Is deafness -imaginary also?
You asked my definition of deafness: unable to HEAR ANY SOUND EVEN USING A HEARING AID. Thus silence. Using ASL has NO bearing on one's Cochlea which appears to have "something wrong" thus no hearing. I guess you don't think that hearing is part of human
beings.
Jillio: your last sentence applies to you.
