I was wondering if deaf people commonly watch movies or TV with the sound on to feel the sound/music? Or is there not a sense of enjoyment if it can’t be heard?

    My mom has quite severe hearing loss but is not totally deaf. She uses TV captioning and generally can’t tell whether the TV sound is on or off. I generally want it to be off because it is annoying, so when she leaves it on by accident, I just shut it off and she doesn’t notice or anyway doesn’t care.
