Blind and deaf person experiencing sensory deprivation

What would even happen. If the brain under sensory deprivation makes something up because it used to stimuli, what happen if a helen keller like individual went through that. Would they just start feeling stuff that's not there?

Try touching your right hand to your left cheek and vice versa

I don't think it would be any different from a regular person experiencing sensory deprivation? At least it shouldn't, in the general case.

Feeling stuff that's not real can happen, though it's probably not universal. It also doesn't need to be complete sensory deprivation. I think the only real difference between a deaf or a blind person and a regular person will be that they have less senses to fall back on, which might make them more susceptible to panic or other effects.

Taste touch smell you havent really got much to work with as the remaining 3 are somewhat linked your better off overloading the remaining senses and inducing synaesthesia.
