Why I Love Music, Even When I Can’t Hear It.

Like most people, I remember watching my favorite TV shows growing up. I remember those vividly colorful characters, and the charming songs that they sang. At 3 years old, I sat in front of the TV singing happily along to the songs. I was blissfully unaware that I was singing the wrong or completely made up words.

Soon afterwards, my mother took me to get a hearing test done. Sure enough, I had been born partially deaf in both ears. I remember that day quite well, being sat in a chair with a large pair of headphones on top of my curly head.
