A Deaf Person's Audio System
One day, my friend Tom, who is totally deaf, bought a new convertible.
Not wanting to be different from anyone else, he had a radio in it. When he came to proudly show me his new car, I could hardly get near it. Tom had the radio turned on full-blast, and tuned between two stations. - from www.odd-info.com |

There was a time when the VoA and other SW broadcasters used AM (well, suppressed carrier) transmissions with different audio feeds on the two sidebands to relay programmes to transmitter sites in remote parts of the world.

Explain how the vibrations from even the largest speaker system installed in a car could possibly compete with the wind-blast from driving a convertible even at only 5 KM/H. |

If someone is sensitive to vibrations enough to get any musical information, wouldn't that be reasonably described as "hearing"? |

Why would they have to compete? If you were hearing-impaired (and had only tactile vibration to sense the effect) I propose that it is unlikely that any conventional auto sound system could be perceived independently of road vibration or the wind-stream in a convertible. |

Long time ago, right after the dinosaurs died, an average of four nights a week fifty weeks a year, Armadillo World Headquarters would have soundchecks in the afternoon for various well-known musical artists. Some of those artists were bands that played extremely loudly. On many of those ocassions kids from the Texas School for the Deaf would visit us and sit through the soundcheck. They could feel it and they enjoyed it. One of my favorite enjoyments was one afternoon when a band was playing silly loud for soundcheck and a Texas hailstorm blew over. AWHQ at the time had a heavy metal (heh) roof without benefit of the insulation that would later be sprayed into place. The hailstones were about the size of tennis balls and they made one hell of a racket on the roof. Completely drowned out the band. I loved it. Car dealers throughout Austin did not enjoy it so much. Their inventories took quite a beating. -- ha Iraq is Arabic for Vietnam |

By making comparable or larger SPL in frequency areas of interest of course. As for the general topic of deaf people and most certainly deaf children it so happens that it is "known and described" in the literature that they benefit as much from music therapy as anybody, it just has to be louder. There is an almost completely deaf british percussionist around, she was the subject of a tv special some years ago. Music is not only heard, it is also felt, as is immersion in any other noise. It is for that very reason that earplugs actually in my opinion adds to the loud music concert experience by reducing the overload and the thus resulting distortion in the aural experience and my increasing the body to hearing sound experience ratio.

Of course. But not in a moving convertible. There is an almost completely deaf british percussionist around, she was the subject of a tv special some years ago. I'd bet that Ms. Glennie would have a difficult time performing next to a jackhammer or in a moving truck. Music is not only heard, it is also felt, as is immersion in any other noise.

All true. But you seem to be sidesteping the actual question of this discussion, which is whether music can be felt in the context of a moving convertible. |

Is there a volunteer with a convertible in the audience ... seems like an actual experiment is the best way to settle this. Kind regards Peter Larsen |
