Neither, Hearing or Sight. Common. If you don't have common sines you are doomed to a life of misery, and can hear is an see it in real time.

Helen Keller always said that blindness separates you from THINGS, but deafness separates you from PEOPLE. I find this VERY true as I have several blind friends and blind hubby.

I have not completely lost my hearing but it is not as good as it used to be and it does make life difficult sometimes. I would hate to lose my sight also though.

I have 90% hearing loss. I would rather have that than 905 vision loss. I was legally blind at one time. deafness is preferable.
ReplyI've lived most of my life on the quiet side of life due to hereditary hearing loss but a quiet day can be a godsend. Blindness takes a lot more adjustment on a person's life.
ReplyThere are beautiful things in live to see that you could never describe.
ReplyI don't think I could handle not being able to look into the eyes of the people I love.
ReplyI would want to be able to see everything in the World.
ReplyAs much as I LOVE music, blindess would be very hard to deal with.
ReplyI can't even imagine ...
ReplyYou can learn to read lips and most people already can to some extent
ReplyI couldn't live without sight
ReplySight opens the world to us - reading, driving, identifying loved ones, etc.
ReplyI couldn't live without reading. Also I couldn't use my laptop, TV, or navigate the house and shops, friends etc. I'd miss music a lot without hearing.
ReplyThough I'm half-blind I enjoy watching things going on around me in the day-to-day life.
ReplyHard to navigate without sight
ReplySeems like it would be harder to get along with normal living without sight!
Replyfor sentimental reasons I would miss seeing my loved ones faces,
