Um… YES. Thanks for your scholarly input. 🫠
A deaf person won the show “Dancing with the Stars” bc he could feel the music and dance to the beats.
I read his memoir. Nyle Demarco was born deaf. He could absolutely “perceive” music.

A. Check your spelling
B. People that are 100% blind cannot perceive light or dark.
C. Feeling vibrations is tactile, not auditory, so no, he didn't hear shit.

I didn’t say they hear anything.
I said they can PERCEIVE music.

Not everyone is 100% blind and you don’t have to be 100% blind to be considered blind so yes, many legally blind people can still see light and dark.

The premise of the OP is not about partially sighted people. "Legally blind" covers a huge range of optical conditions. My father is legally blind, but his coke-bottle trifocals mean he can see as well as I can.
Which means, despite being legally blind, he aint blind.
And tactile perception has nothing to do with deafness at all, so I mean... irrelevant. If you can use a different sense to see with, lemme know.
