Memories, once formed, have nothing to do with the sense organs. So just as people who have gone blind continue to 'see' in their dreams and memores, people who have gone deaf can continue to 'hear' in their memories and dreams.

The part of your brain that deals with hearing starts to atrophy from disuse after five years or so and many people report that their memories of hearing are less vivid.
How did Beethoven listen to music while deaf?
Deaf people sense vibration in the part of the brain that other people use for hearing - which helps explain how deaf musicians can sense music, and how deaf people can enjoy concerts and other musical events. These findings suggest that the experience deaf people have when 'feeling' music is similar to the experience other people have when hearing music. The perception of the musical vibrations by the deaf is likely every bit as real as the equivalent sounds, since they are ultimately processed in the same part of the brain.
