音乐,你可以教什么失聪的女人

So I've been hanging out at a friend's loft in downtown LA lately. One of the room-mates is Dana King (see title pic). Dana is totally deaf. She lip reads. She's adapted to the world around her by usi  

所以我一直挂在一个朋友在洛杉矶市中心的阁楼最近。

其中一个房间的队友达纳国王(见标题PIC)。达纳是完全聋。她唇读。她周围的世界,用她的双手,她的适应。她美丽的珠宝定制。

有一个咆哮的党,在阁楼上,DJ是输送带一些地板填料,并得水泄不通的地方。

Being the nosy guy that I am, I of course had to go and ask her what its like to be deaf.

这是那些真正的真正的好奇的问题之一。考虑在我的生​​活中发挥作用听证会,我简直无法捉摸不能够听到。

她有好几个答案。首先,你只能一次读取一对嘴唇。所以这是一个孤立感,当谈到鸡尾酒会。她喜欢一个人在社会。

她的下一个语句,但真的让我很吃惊。

She danced a little bit to the track that was playing downstairs and said:
"but I really love music!!"
"But... You're deaf. "

"I feel it. " She said.


Now, I've said a million times, "I'm really feeling this track." What I mean is, I hear a great track and it stirs emotions in me. What she means is, when loud music plays, she physically feels the drum hits and the bass as vibrations.

通过我的耳朵,我拉的所有音乐。这是我做什么。在一路我忘了我胸口的感觉,在隆隆的低音筒洗净。在所有的曲目,所有的朋友制作的歌曲,和所有的混合工作,我有这么完全集中对听证会的一部分,我忘了是达到我的身体检查。

我把我的手在墙壁上和关闭自己的耳朵,只觉得音乐,喜欢她。有。振动节奏,大鼓打了一拳,嬉闹的感觉。

当然,她热爱音乐。音乐播放尽可能多的触感,因为它起着耳。多么的愚蠢我认为音乐属于听觉的。多么愚蠢,我要集中精力,在很大程度上只是它的一个方面。我知道这一点,并已忘记了这。

Even plants grow better when you play them music.  Plants don't have ears, but they feel it. And not only do they feel it, they like classical music better than rock in the study I read.

我真的很高兴,我问她,我真的很高兴,她的共享。这是不久前,我为什么选择了音乐。我研究它,研究它,总有惊喜在每个角落。

当我拿起我的轨道,为科切拉我了暂停,并确保曲轴跟踪和感觉出来,以及听取他们的意见。有耳朵匹配的重点,但也有隆隆声对人体匹配。

whoa, that's really cool! I find it amazing how the body can over-compensate in one area for a deficiency in another. Props to Dana for not letting it slow her down!!! I hope she realizes how much she inspires :-)

Nice article DJ Wolfie :-)


It's amazing to consider that sound/frequency has such an impact on our bodies - not just through our ears - but through our entire bodies... our nervous systems.


There's a lot of research out there into "Sound Healing" and the way different sounds can influence our mood, organs, etc. In fact one of the most fascinating books I've come across is by Dr. Masaru Emoto - "Hidden Messages in Water".


It's a study of how different types of music alters the crystalline structure of frozen water. It's all photographs - extremely beautiful!

Thank you for the kind comments, everyone.

sound- and color actually both deeply tap into emotions. They have a wonderful way of simply slipping past the logic circuits, and go straight to the body.

I was shown a technique once where I stare at one color on a color chart, and talk about an upsetting subject. then, I stare at another color, and talk about the same subject.

As I moved through staring at different colors, it was wild to see how differently my emotions changed as I talked.

It was as if the colors nudged my emotions around the topic at hand.

I have no idea why that is, but simply noticed how pronounced the effect was. When staring at purple, my conversation was "I underdstand why this is a challenge, where I can grow from this..."

When staring at red it was "I hate it when that happens! Grrr! What a Stupid thing!"

It was really kind of amusing.
