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?

    You can be legally deaf and still able to hear sound that’s really loud. Just like you can be legally blind but able to make out really vivid and bright images.

      Yep. I went to school with someone who was legally blind, though she had a large device with a camera and CRT screen to blow up the text so she could make it out.
