deafen

For a strange hour, one could digest Sunday brunch, laugh, cry, reflect, bop along to the music, quietly listen or let it all out in a deafening collective primal scream.

Flames shoot out of the rocket launcher lighting up the Gobi Desert, which is then filled with a deafening roar.

But Timur’s live performance added another otherworldly level of exaltation for which neither film nor deafening amplification can enhance.

It emits a deafening sound and blows dust and dried leaves off the ground.

Others, like dolphins and whales who use sonar for navigation, will be deafened.
