She's deaf? I've worked w/ hundreds of deaf people, from hard of hearing to deaf as a fence post and - w/o exception - they have all had ''the deaf accent'' to one degree or another. I found it very distracting She's deaf? I've worked w/ hundreds of deaf people, from hard of hearing to deaf as a fence post and - w/o exception - they have all had ''the deaf accent'' to one degree or another. I found it very distracting & a serious strain on her credibility every time she spoke (which was often & at length) w/o a trace of the deaf accent.

Fascinating music--fine photography and editing--an inspiration (especially to anyone with a disability)!!!

At three-quarters of the way through the film I felt such an ecstasy as to make any kind of drug-induced euphoria seem trivial. This is the greatest kind of movie -- the kind that speaks to us on every level.

Never has a documentary brought me so much boredom. Touch the Sound removes inspiration from music and creates absolutely no thought-provoking moments.
