Many people in the Deaf community view deafness as a different way of experiencing the world, rather than as a disability. This can be hard for hearing people to imagine. Think about the things you enjoy every day. What accommodations would need to be made - if any - for a Deaf person to do the things that you enjoy doing? Are there any activities that you aren’t sure a Deaf person WOULD be able to do?

Answer:

I personally enjoy listening to music every morning or watching TV, or videos. Obviously, with all of these you can view the words or lyrics, but the experience would not be the same. The music would not have any emotion to it, and you wouldn't be able to experience the dramatic sound effects of a movie or TV shows. In life, sound is a crucial part of experiencing, and without it, you can imagine how difficult it is to really grasp the emotion of anything. You would just see it, not feel it.

Hope this helps :) Some people might not agree, this is just my personal opinion.
