I still have the qualia of reading, just not the qualia of sound (hence impossible to imagine that i am listening to it being read in an accent, while counting). It's hard to describe. I can talk about an arbitrary subject while reading, and right now I am typing this message while reading what you wrote.

I have simultaneously the qualia of "hearing myself think" (or the qualia of talking if i count), and the qualia of reading, basically.
