Can people in a coma hear and sense people?

There is no one answer to this question, as the ability of people in a coma to hear and sense people can vary depending on the individual and the severity of their condition. Some people in a coma may be able to hear and understand speech, while others may only be able to sense touch or pain. Still others may be completely unresponsive to any external stimuli.

In general, people who are in a deep coma are less likely to be able to hear or sense people than those who are in a lighter state of consciousness. However, there have been cases of people in very deep comas who have been able to respond to spoken commands or other external stimuli.

It is important to note that just because someone is in a coma does not mean that they are not aware of their surroundings or the people around them. They may simply be unable to communicate or respond to external stimuli.

If you are caring for someone who is in a coma, it is important to speak to them in a gentle voice and to touch them gently. Even though they may not be able to respond, they may still be able to hear and sense your presence.
