Would you rather lose your sight or your hearing? Neither one is not an option.

I suppose I would chose losing my hearing. If you cannot see you are much less independent, while deaf you can still drive, walk in the mountains, kayak in whitewater, etc. Blind, you have to have an aide with many things if at all possible to do. Certainly I'd miss music and conversation in its current form, but it would be better than being blind, in my opinion.

Ahh. The age-old question, not far from the question of the light beer buzz compared to the regular... I love music too much to be w/out hearing, plus the birds still sing and the scent of gardenias still linger. I'd go blind...especially upon waking after some nights and seeing who's beside me...;P
-
tough decision...i would have to say sight, but i love music :S
-
I would pick sight... I love to sing and listen to music but I love scenery and traveling... I would rather see it all then listen to it all...
-
Toughy but sight wins without much thought.
-
I need to see the beauty this earth has, but not really the harsh words it has so....sight would be the one I'd like to keep.
-
my sight
-
My sight, i think i could live without hearing things but i couldnt bear to never see again.
-
As much as I love music. The more logical choice would have to be sight because I could still feel the vibration of sound but there is no way of cheating the other way round ...... and then all the dogs broke out of the pound :)
-
My hearing, you can get around with no sight but hate it i couldn't hear what you was saying about me.
-
My hearing. I don't think I could live without music, or hearing my lovers voice. I can deal without seeing...It would still suck immensely, but I use my ears to a far greater extent than I use my eyes.
-
My sight. It would suck not being able to hear, but there's alot you could still do being deaf. Watch tv, go on computer...drive ? (or are deaf people allowed to drive?) but still...
-
My sight. To never again see those i love, would be completely devastating to me.
-
probably sense of touch if i could choose from all :)
-
I am already losing my hearing, and I've been half blind all my life. All my favorite things involve seeing. I use magnifying glasses, and a magnifying lamp console.
-
Sight, without a doubt. I could still read, drive, watch TV, and live EASILY alone.
-
I've heard losing your hearing is more lonely, but I think I'd be more able to fend for myself if I had my sight. Plus if I lost my sight, there'd be no interwebs and I'd have to learn braille. Yuck.
-
Hearing of course. I only need to see the Question on Answerbag to answer it...not hear it.
-
Sight!!
