If you HAD to choose, blind or deaf ?

[ms_gwyn]

You know I said to myself that I would rather go blind, because I couldn't live without soud, like my mother's voice, music, etc. But I am also very visually creative person so there would be a huge problem, like being a pastry chef, crafting, designing and the like.

I just don't know, I only really used one eye anyway, but this is just to hard of a question.

Deaf.... i just couldn't bare not being able to see

Tuff decision, but used to think that if the lights went out, I could walk all over the House!

Wrong, cannot do it even though I see it in My Mind and do it everynight

See and Live, Hear not, can learn to do so much more.

Neither is a great option!

Deaf!
Although I love my childs laughter, I couldn't imagine not seeing her beautiful, smiling face!!!!

Deaf

That's tough.

If I choose Blind, then I would just go crazy not being able to see.....

If I choose Deafness, then I can't hear music..or voices..or sounds in general...


Hmmm...

Half Blind, Half deaf?

I would go deaf. I would go insane if I can't see anything.

what a question!!!

My mother suffers from a profound hearing loss due to a childhood illness and is blind in one eye due to a childhood injury. She spends a great deal of time frustrated by her limitations...she has enough ability to know what she is missing

I am legally blind in one eye (extremely nearsighted, although correctable)....and my hearing is diminishing over years (too many times up front at rock concerts in my youth)...

I protect them both fervently now...

I think if I had to choose, I would go deaf. Although, not being able to hear music would really stink, I would much rather not be able to hear than to not see.

I can't afford to lose another sense though... I can't smell anything (seriously, I haven't been able to since I was a baby), so losing another would really blow.

Helen Keller wrote that blindness separates a person from things, where as deafness separates a person from people. I think I'd choose to be blind. I'm both a musician and an historian, so the inability to read part would get me down, but I think I'd feel much worse if I couldn't hear music, or my cat's purr, or the voices of the people I love.

Well, unfortunately I'll probably end up going blind later in my life, I'd say I don't have much of a choice in this whole matter. Which really sucks being an artist, especially a photographer. Stupid diabetes. Hey medical majors, get workin' on that!

i would say deaf.
