Do the deaf "hear" music?
Dear Dr. Sacks, I read a great deal of your work while in college. Fascinating stuff. In your opinion, do people who are born without hearing abilities still process music on an "interior" or cognitive level? Do the deaf also have "inner soundtracks" to their lives? Thank You.
