From Beethoven's letters we know his full deafness came came much later. Late 40's is closer to reality. It was a long, painful journey for him. Some days were better and some days worse. His hearing came in and out. The proof is in his letters. Thanks for posting this great video.
I have tinnitus and remember the music so I get what you saying about the story of Beethoven cuz I can somewhat relate, I struggled for a while to not only bring myself to create music again but just getting out of bed was hard because I was overwhelmed by negative thoughts so I really admire what you do
I kind of wonder if some of these deaf people who are professional musicians, like the British guy in this video and a woman I saw in another video, who I think was from New Zealand or Australia, are actually kind of "hearing" the music in a weird way, because they've retrained their brains. I wonder if it's possible that they have such a strong ability to mentally hear things in their head, that they've perhaps combined that ability with a really strong ability to feel, and be extra sensitive to vibrations, which they've developed to compensate. Maybe, in this way, they've retrained their brains to actually hear sound when they feel vibrations, so that they're hearing through their hands, or whatever part of their body they can feel sound vibrations through? Like, maybe feeling vibrations is actually causing the auditory centers of their brains to activate? I know it sound crazy, but stranger things have happened. Just watch the show Stan Lee's superhumans. It'd be interesting if these deaf musicians would do fMRI test to see if something like this could be happening.
I was born deaf I had hearing restored but can relate to what he's saying. I still can feel a car coming up the driveway. Don't even have to to turn. It's lonely to be even deaf in one ear I have basic sign language. It should be taught in schools not too tricky. The words looks look like their signs. It's good to teach young as you won't lose the language. It becomes visual eventually. I know exactly what's being signed. I did about 2 levels of classes would recommend.
I am deaf, but like Beethoven my hearing went in and out. I was not born deafI slowly went def by the time I was 5. I got my hearing back after 5 through an operation on my ears. My hearing lasted a long time.....but now I am legally deaf......however, I REMEMBER songs. So, that, I can play a music video on TH-cam, see the words and feel the beat with my hand on the phone speaker and I remember all of it. So much so the song becomes stuck in my head.....so I can still enjoy my music! And in a way, still hear!
What is the name of the first piece that was being played by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and conducted by the boy? I love the piece but I don’t know the name!! Much appreciated💕

2:54, To continually feel the music, does that mean Whitaker can't affectively play on keyboards or electrically powered instruments?

Thank you for your very personal comment 😊
So beautiful! ;) Loved this story so much! :)
Absolutely amazing! Wow!!!
This is astonishing!
He literally feels the music
How can I find his contacts? I need to contact him, because I myself am deaf and also a musician. Thank!
There's a form for contacting Paul on his website: www.paulwhittaker.org.uk/
DW Classical Music Thank you!
It's very poetic to me to think that music resides beyond our hearing sense.
Awesome
Amazing
awesome
What is the name of the first piece that was being played by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and conducted by the boy? I love the piece but I don’t know the name!! Much appreciated💕
