【Archive】Para-aural Phenomena Vol.1
The video includes the sound when the filter is on and off. You can check it on the top right.
When it’s on, it’s my own hearing. When off, the sound is normal.
I’m deaf. Suffering from sensorineural hearing loss since the age of 3, I began playing the piano and violin at the age of 5. Currently working as a composer.
My hearing loss occurs when there is damage to the inner ear or deeper central nervous system. Hearing never returns. Furthermore, Japan’s system is strict. So my hearing is such that I would not be issued with a disability certificate. In other words, according to the system, I’m neither able-bodied nor disabled. My own situation, which straddles the spectrum between able-bodied people and people with disabilities, is suitable for raising questions about hearing by constantly confronting it.
I made several discoveries through my own research.
