The deaf know that sound exists. They cannot perceive it, but there is
abundant empirical evidence to demonstrate that it exists.

Oh? If you're profoundly deaf from birth, what empirical evidence? People say it exists. But people say God exists. Is that empirial evidence?

You can look at measurements on a scope or meter. But you have to accept somebody else's word that what you're seeing are movements of a needle or numbers or something that are caused by sound waves. For all you know they could be caused by anything.

You can see a flower grow, but just because somebody tells you God is making it grow, will you accept that God exists?

What empirical evidence can person profountly deaf from birth use to prove that sound exists?
