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 stepson is profoundly hard of hearing so he’ll crank that shit up to 11. His Bluetooth hearing aides are excellent when he’s listening to something privately and you often can’t tell anything is playing over them (which he’ll do pretty often while having a conversation because he lip reads) but if he wants to share a video or music he’ll crank that shit way up.
