Yes, you can learn to play instruments again. It will be harder, but you will be able to play. Do you still have your cello (or instrument)? If so, get it out and try it. It'll be harder, and you may have to rely on a tuner, but you can do it.
It may help you out if you got a private instructor, maybe even one who specializes in music for the deaf.

Since you feel this way, I would suggest that you find a counselor who may help you find purpose in your life again. This is a suggestion, but it may help you.

I know how you feel, dont worry you will get it back within a few years if you have enough money... there is a revolutionary new technology that is basicly inserting a microphone into your ears and plugin it into your brain.
i cant hear but i can play instruments. i have no idea if im good or not but from what people (write) tell me im quite good. learn to read peoples lips. dont end your life as you still have alot to go. think of notes as words and make sentences. you can become famous. even in the hardest situations you are great. be thankful some people dont have vision and are mute. just make the most of life as it is and wait for a cure.

Yes, there are lots of deaf musicians. One learns the feeling (especially in singing) of making the sound and also the types of vibrations the instrument makes.
Do not lose hope!
Also, there is always composition. You can still hear the music in your mind.

One of the great classical percussionists today is Dame Evelyn Glennie, who is deaf. Check out her website at http://www.evelyn.co.uk/homepage.htm
Pete Townsend of The Who is also partly deaf, and the great 50s singer Johnnie Ray was also partly deaf (he wore a hearing aid). Google "deaf musicians" and you'll find some great links.

Yes, the worlds greatest classical percussionist is a deaf woman. Her name is Evelyn Glennie.

Evelyn Glennie is the first and only full-time professional classical percussion soloist. She solos the way pianists, cellists, violinists, etc. solos.
She plays barefoot, to feel the vibrations.

I'd suggest something with a heavy bass that you can feel in your bones. If Beethoven can do it. I'm sure you can.

Remember, Beethoven was deaf. He wrote many of his great works after he had lost his hearing.

Hearing is not important.
What your brain hears is what is important. Do you remember the perfect concert C? Can you re-create it now?
Your brain, not your ear, is pitch.
No , as Deaf you can never create the nuances of harmony that the hearing can. You need to be able to hear pitch in order to adjust. Fingering, as in a Cello, or relative tonality, as in a singer, rely on an ability to hear to adjust to pitch.
Despair not, however. Teach by the book.
You can make , or help to make, musicians
Music is Math, and Math is Music.
Lines, Staves, Key signatures, etc......................all the fundamentals
Not hearing it does not mean not teaching it. You know Concert A440 better than I do...................
