Dutch pianist loses hearing...continues to play.

Here's a subtitled video of a Dutch pianist who lost his hearing due to ear infection. He was able to push through his deafness and continue to play and compose music while the sound of piano notes remained in his head. But in the end he never took for granted the ability to hear once he regained all of his hearing back.

When you wrote "while the sound of piano notes remained in his head." I had to think about the moments Lotte sings and reads aloud when she doesn't have the CI's on..
Here's a great moment....
