Sorry this doesn't answer the question, but I read this as 'hearing people's experiences', as in, "the experiences of people who can hear" and then that line about "listening to music" confused me because you'd seemed to imply you couldn't hear
Ah, English is not my native language, I do tend to confuse some gramatics and words.
Sorry for that in advance. Gonna edit the post to make it more understandeable.
I didn't mean to criticise your English! Evidently everyone else understood what you meant, and so did I after a moment. It was more of a funny observation ;)
I know, it's just that my English IS confusing sometimes.
Might wanna say which jurisdiction... different countries are very different. In some countries, they could be very bad.

I only went in to visit a friend. I felt very on edge when I was in there. Attendants were always watching, with mirrors set up so they had less blind spots. Everything in there is modified to make sure it is harder to hurt one's self with, or others. The pens they gave my friend to draw with were just the ink cartridge with a rubber tube around it to make it easier to hold while also letting it flexible so it would be harder to use as a stabbing device.
My friend was pretty bored. There was no phones allowed, even to visitors. I don't think they would let you bring anything in, especially not if it needs a charger.
It is not a place I would like to go to again. Especially not against my will.
I've never been to one, even though I should've probably been sent to one like 4 times at this point. I do however, know people that have been sent. It's not very fun. They confiscate all your stuff that you have on you, I believe. No access to your phone. It's boring, but you'll live. Making friends helps. Best of luck if you do get sent.
