Is ‘tone deafness’ a real condition or is it something that one can overcome through practice?

I have to admit that I play guitar and can read and play music well but I’ve always relied on a tuner.

Sunshine asked:


I have noticed that I am starting to hear pretty good without my hearing aids and the only change I have made is that I started a ******** exercise program about three weeks ago. My ear doctor says that there is no way that it can cause my hearing to get better but you can’t argue with physical evidence. Am I crazy or has anyone else heard of this happening? I made an appt. with my audiologist for next month.

Is it wrong to reject Cochlear Implants and Hearing Aids?

hearing aids
Sympathetic Dude asked:


I am going deaf and I have been given the option of a hearing aid for now, and a cochlear implant later once my hearing is severely gone.

I have rejected this as I don’t believe in such devices and think I should at the very least try and cope and accept being deaf and probably embrace it.

Is it wrong for parents to force cochlear implants on their kids?
edoedo: I sort of agree with you regarding hearing people… if I were to ever want a device to help me hear better I would only go for a hearing aid instead of a cochlear implant because at least hearing aid can be easily switched off and removed (don’t want something on my skull)!

In regards to oral communication, I ain’t that good at it anyway and prefer more silent methods of talking such as text and hopefully soon sign language… more intimate and better I think… don’t need the loudest voice to get attention of everyone.
