Like some others here, I am hard of hearing now too. I hate it when people who know I can't hear well stand behind me and talk. I can't hear anything they say.
I think I respond to sound and visual equally. Smells mostly bring back bad memories best forgotten.

1. The sound of a ruffed grouse drumming in the spring.
2. The sound of a Wilson's snipe "winnowing". Eerie and beautiful!

I can still remember the sound of a cast net hitting the water and then the popping sound that shrimp make when they come to the surface. The location was the St. Johns river during the 1950"s.

The B52's taking off and landing at March AFB. We were right in the flight path and the sound was deafening. Made the whole house shake too.

Civil Defense Horn blowing on Saturday's at noon and Sonic Booms those use to be two frequently heard sounds in the 60's Bingo! Except our horns blew on Thursday at noon...everybody would close up business and go fishing (or bird shooting if the season was in). Now, I think they test the tornado sirens (that's what they're called now, I think) maybe twice a year. But these are different in that they're scattered all over the county...hard to not hear them. The ones in the city were *just* in the city. The "BOOMS!!!!!!"...those were cool, but I think affected livestock(?) so they eventually prohibited pilots from hitting those speeds over the lower 48.

most people are visually oriented, a few gain more input and satisfaction from sound, some very few from smell and taste, others still fewer by touch. Jean's recent post about what makes us smile made me realize (again) that I am sound oriented. Here is a link to one of my favorite sounds.... the sound of bells. www.cccbr.org.uk/bellrecordings/introduction.php
How do you know if you are sound oriented? If somebody asks you to remember an incident from the past, do you look up, or do you look down as you try to remember? If you look up, you are visualizing the moment, if you look down you are probably listening to things your memory brings forth. If you love the printed word, love to read, you may be sound oriented, you hear the sound of the word as you read, don't you? Do you learn better if you read about something? You may be sound oriented. are there others on the board who are sound oriented? Post some of your favorite sounds here, please! I am guessing a couple of you in particular will identify as sound oriented, and will wait to see if I guessed right! thanks for looking (and listening!) Sound oriented, was there any doubt? But between sound and visual, it's a pretty close call. I neither look up or down when trying to remember, I usually close my eyes so I don't have visual distractions to my thinking process. I am easily distrac- Oh look, a chicken! (It's the ADD, lol.) Favorite sounds, hmmm... Close to bells, the sound of glass windchimes. Remembering a trip to San Francisco as a child with my family, walking in Chinatown. They had lots of touristy stuff for sale hanging in front of all the stores. Sounds like the beginning of this song:

When asked to remember something, my head doesn't move up or down --- at least at first. However, my eyes are looking in. If my head moves downward, it is to help concentrate without distractions. The memories don't normally have sound, unless asked to remember a song/music, or utterance or other sound.
If asked to remember what it sounded like when x occurred, I can insert the sounds sometimes.
Interesting topic and responses. Thanks!

The plaintive cries of a pair of hawks, circling, circling in the hot, still air

Good visual and sound reference Jean. The call of a lone eagle soaring on the wind currents is also memorable.

A whole bunch of rock n roll songs, memories related to what was going on at the times of them

Staying at my Grandmother's house on the beach at Amelia Island Florida summers as a teen-sounds of katydids and waves breaking. Never could escape the water. All summer, she let me run wild. Mom and Dad glad to get rid of me ha. Best of beach/summer music Shameful philosophy-"If her daddy is rich, take her out for a meal, if her daddy is poor just do as you feel" throw Black Water in there too. Shrimp boats on the Inter coastal side of the island

Rattlesnakes are almost invisible to me, audibly. I have to be squatting down on the ground, four or five feet away it, with my head tilted just right, and listening hard before I can hear a rattlesnake singing. I always thought I had just not ran up on one singing before until one day there was one in the middle of a dirt road we were traveling down. My brother-in-law got out and with a small limb made this rattler mighty mad. He wasn't that big, maybe 4' long and coiled with his tail a blur. I squatted in front and finally hear him after some effort. Strange, as I've explored all over these pine forests and swamps around home from the time I could open the screen door and say "Mama, I'm going down into the woods...". I know I've probably walked by many of them that were singing at me, but I firmly believe those snakes were confounded by my lack of concern (because I couldn't here them) at their warning. God looks after all kinds of people..
