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. It is not uncommon to forget a lot about hearing after you go deaf. 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.
