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?

    I lived with a deaf man for a few months and one thing I noticed is he would often forget to turn off the water in the kitchen.

    He didn’t watch TV at all and was not at all respectful when someone was watching or listening to something. Just constant interruptions.

      This just sounds like an asshole, being deaf doesn’t change that.

        He was an asshole too. But it is easier to forget running water without the audible cue.
