Hearing

[carlteplitski]

(  Cautiously jumpimg in here. )   Told by a Dr. friend   many years ago 
that  people who
can't see, "don't" actually hear better physically, but do focus better, 
because they are not as distracted.
I used to  tune for a blind musician,  and learned very quickly to pay 
attention when he thought
a note was not right. He was always correct, and it bothered him more 
than other musicians. ( not piano ).
