Sight or hearing, which do you place more importance on...?

Sight. I have to see things. And most of the time I don't want to hear it anyway.

Sight. With sight you can still read, use a computer, television, admire beautiful things, and protect yourself in some instances. Hearing is used for speech and music. That's about it.

I would give up the hearing as well. I would miss it a lot..but at least I wouldn't be quite as scared without it. I want to be able to see if I'm going to bang into anything. See my friends/family/bf (when I get one I mean)

i would give up hearing.

i mean, it would kill me a little bit. i'd miss my music. i wouldn't play piano. i wouldn't sing. i'd miss the sounds of laughter. i'd never get to hear my children's voices.

but if i couldn't see, i'd never see people's faces. i wouldn't see the world. i would't be able to watch the snow fall or the leaves change colors or lighting strike across the sky. no more sun rises and sunsets.

i'd rather live in a quiet world than in a world where all i saw was darkness.

I'd rather be deaf.

Sign language has GOT to be easier than Braille :-D

Though, as I have tinnitus in one ear, if I still heard THAT sound, I would probably go insane without other sounds to help mask it.
