If they could, they would be able to get a sense of what it would be like to hear, right? So do you think it's possible for those who are deaf to hear their beating heart?
My guess is they can feel it and then probably automaticly imagine they hear it, I think when we think we hear it we are only imagining it through what we feel, thats just my two cents.
Yes, they can; when Beethoven went deaf, he'd hold a pencil in his teeth and place that on some part of the piano and the movement of the pencil more or less summarized the music of the piano. Sound is just movement anyway.
there were a few deaf people i worked with at a job i had in the past... i was in one of their cars once and the radio was blasted up really loud when he turned the car on.... turns out they really like the "feel" of music.
I think he was thinking that since you can't actually hear your heartbeat pumping off your body it rattles your bones and you hear it that way. However, that just rattles your bones up into your hearing bones which would be hearing. Ergo they can't hear it, just feel the pump in their chest.

Exactly. My question was phrased wrong, what I meant was what he stated above. Everyone can "hear" their pulse when they're exercising, but it's not from the outside world. Hence, if they can feel their beat, couldn't they relate that to sound? Similar to what Quigley said.

I say yes, but no as well, then again its all due to perspective of waves of motion. Its like with Daredevil: his eyes were damaged as to making him blind, but he could see what was going on when it rained as well as having some other sort of vibration with wavelengths of motion... not sure if this makes sense or not but it does to me. Just trying to help answer with a different tone.

To this day long after his death, BeethovenAND his work are genius. :| I just wish I had some to listen to right now, but I don't have any of his work. :(

Dude I know what you're saying. But it is still no. When you talk you are not actually hearing your voice, but the vibrations made inside your skull. Deaf people can't hear themselves speak either.
