FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. - There are lots of people trying to break into the music business every single day, and it is not easy. And quite frankly, lots of them just give up. But Sean Forbes, from Farmington Hills, refused to give up, even though the way he hears the rhythm and the beat is different.

I was born hard of hearing, became a musician, suddenly became 75% deaf about 2 years ago... It's very hard to continue socializing with hearing people and to even play my own music... Recently I got a cochlear implant and now I play the blues... It's all instrumental but please check it out

I'm on Soundcloud and I'm called "Deaf Man Blues"

Keep it up Sean! All my life, I've been almost deaf and play music. I lip-read, hear bass notes with my hearing aids and feel the beat:) It's really great what you're doing.
