This website "How to look after yourself as a visitor, and things that might help", ( http://www.addenbrookes.org.uk/serv/clin/periop/critcare/visitor_care1.html ) says (in part): Q:Can a patient hear me when they are unconscious? A: We think that hearing is one of the first senses to recover after sedation or a period of unconsciousness. This is why the doctors and nurses explain to patients, even when they are unconscious, what they are about to do. Some people find it comforting to talk to the patient - but do not be afraid or embarrassed. No one knows whether a loved one can hear you or not at a particular time, but it can help you to retain a connection to them 'as a person'. You are following pretty much all of the advice they give there. Keep it up! The rest of us are maintaining our hope and continuing to send energy her way... Music sounds like an excellent idea.

It can't hurt, and may be the breakthrough she needs. Just stay away from the Beethoven's 9th -- don't want her thinking she's stuck inside "a Clockwork Orange," being that she's the movie buff.
