In NDEs those who are deaf hear: Long excerpt #8

Radiation oncologist Jeremy Long writes in his article, "Evidence for Survival of Consciousness in Near-Death Experiences: Decades of Science and New Insights" - "Brian nearly drowned when he was ten years old. In all of Brian's previoius life, he communicated with others by sign language or lip-reading. However, in his NDE, communication was unearthly:

I approached the boundary. No explanation was necessary for me to understand, at the age of ten, that once I cross[ed] the boundary, I could never come back—period. I was more than thrilled to cross. I intended to cross, but my ancestors over another boundary caught my attention. They were talking in telepathy, which caught my attention. I was born profoundly deaf and had all hearing family members, all of which knew sign language! I could read or communicate with about twenty ancestors of mine and others through telepathic methods. It overwhelmed me. I could not believe how many people I could telepathize with simultaneously.

"Communication for Brian during his near-death experience was via telepathy which he never previously experienced. NDErs commonly report communicating by telepathy. Other hearing-impaired NDErs may describe supernormal hearing:

I'm a deaf-impaired person. But in the other world experience, I was not deaf. I heard beautiful classical music.

I am partially deaf in the left ear. At the time of this I could hear very well.

I became aware that my eyesight was better than it had ever been. I could see details and colors that I had never seen before. I have always been hard of hearing. But in my experience, my hearing was superior to anything it had ever been. The voices I heard were very loud, clear, and sounded almost like music rather than speech."
