    ShaneWednesday – you are so thicko head, Profoundly deaf mean can’t hear anything, Deaf mean very little hear but not 100% hear, Hard of hearing mean can hear that what Evelyn Glennie is

  • ShaneWednesday says:

    She does tell the truth; “profoundly deaf” is mostly deaf.

    “Profound hearing loss is defined as a hearing threshold greater than 90 decibels (dB) — meaning that an individual with profound hearing loss can only hear sounds that are louder than 90 dB. Contrastingly, a person with normal hearing can detect sounds between 0 dB and 20 dB.” – wikipedia

    This lecture validates thoughts I’ve had about music/sound since I was a kid. She is a gift to the world. <3

  • colinlikeschapstick says:

    This is very true, you can listen to music with your body. Your nerves are all essentially the same; they all recieve stimulation and send electronic signals to your brain, all in the form of “pictures”.

    Your brain can learn to hear without ears, see without eyes, balance without a vestibular system.

    Goodbye My Love BinkyTheRabbit

  • BinkyTheRabbit says:

    Yes, I am 16. Just passed here to see how everyone was. As I’m not in your good books, I think I’ll make myself scarce. Y’know, Troll’s Remorse and stuff…I’m too much of a nice guy to annoy people too much…byeseebyes!

  • podum77 says:

    Hello BinkyTheRabbit I realise that you’re only 16 yrs old oh well never mind

  • BinkyTheRabbit says:

    And as a good friend once said:

    “NEVER! The over-the-top argument over somebody leaving a meaningless comment must go on! (I do agree to some extent that it is pretty damn annoying)”

    And:
    “That cactus looks like a penis. I laughed.

    And one final note to those who constantly attack each other over grammar… – keep doing so because it gives me something to laugh about when the attacker misspells something and then another person corrects them and it starts all over again.”

    Wise words…

  • BinkyTheRabbit says:

    Hello, me again. Still yammering on about whether miss glennie is deaf or not? Old habits die hard, eh?

  • podum77 says:

    Yes that true Evelyn Glennie NEVER be deaf

    It about time she should tell the truth

  • groundgirl79 says:

  • spadehatesscrewtube says:

  • Germal59 says:

    Well stop being rudiness

  • musicfromhell says:

  • Germal59 says:

    tut tut tut all of you need grow up, You all act like a 5 yrs old, Evelyn Glennie is 100% not deaf

  • pepsico8 says:

    musicfromhell- hahahahahahahahahahahahaha I’m horrible at english that mean you are fucking wankers and you sound like fucking gay, I am deaf I do like music with vibration unlike Evelyn Glennie she can hear bit meaning she is hard of hearing not profoundly deaf ok

  • musicfromhell says:

    Hahaha you are horrible at english. I’m a better musician than you could ever dream of being, I’ve devoted all my life to music because I care so much for it. And studying classical music is not for “gays”. It is for people who want to become properly educated and virtuoso musicians. Please don’t try coming up with an insult, your words are embarrassing and pathetic to read.

  • pepsico8 says:

    musicfromhell is a hopeless pianist and a rotten training and study classical music is for gay you shut the fuck up stupid sod

  • musicfromhell says:

    You just said that you didn’t believe the story of Beethoven and you then accuse me of not knowing anything about him. You faggot. I am a classical pianist in training and study classical music.

  • groundgirl79 says:

    Eveln Glennie not 100% deaf she is hard of hearing cos she can hear music and she could talk too

  • pepsico8 says:

    yes you are fucking idiot Jesus dies before beethoven you don’t know anything about either of them

  • musicfromhell says:

    I’m an idiot “too”? Oh, so you admit that, although I am an idiot, you also are an idiot. And there’s a difference between Beethoven and Jesus. Beethoven was around only 200 years ago. Jesus was(supposedly) around thousands of years ago.

  • pepsico8 says:

    Of course I know story of beethoven that was years ogo who going to believe it, Do you believe jesus was here????????????????? you are an fucking idiot too

  • musicfromhell says:
