deaf people
before i write this i am not very tactful and i do not want to offend anyone in any way, i just want to learn something that has been bugging me for ages...
well, when i read like i'm reading this now, i can hear myself saying it in my head. but what about a deaf person. if they were born deaf and they have never heard anything ever before what do they think when they read? do they hear themselves saying it back?
this has been bugging me for aaaages, if you could give a good answer, or if you are deaf and could tell me it would honestly really help because i want to know..thankyou

I don't know if this helps but consider his 9th Choral symphony was composed when he was mutton jeff, it must have been pretty good.
P.S Who was "Mutton Jeff"?
