which is worse to lose: hearing or vision?
 
i have to say i think losing vision would be worse although not ever hearing music again would be a bummer

such a bummer

reprise85 01-04-2012 02:46 PM

i forgot to add it

if a mod would be so kind...?

Toby 01-04-2012 02:53 PM

if i could never listen to music anymore id probably kill myself

bahnzah 01-04-2012 02:53 PM

Illuminating.

sppunk 01-04-2012 03:03 PM

I'm legally blind, it's not the worst thing ever. When I tell people they usually are surprised, even if I've known and worked with them for years.

I can't drive which is the only major suck factor.

reprise85 01-04-2012 03:07 PM

thanks sppunk or whoever made the poll

Toby 01-04-2012 03:12 PM

my bet is on nimmy

i don't know. i guess loss of vision would be worse. i'd rather be deaf because at least then i'd be able to communicate efficiency and still be able to do things i enjoy like reading, writing, drawing, playing video games and all of that shit. only downside is not being able to listen to music anymore.

MusicMan4 01-04-2012 03:39 PM

either would be ok because then i'd just live off disability

bahnzah 01-04-2012 03:54 PM

would i still have the ability to make a pussy purr with just a stroke of my hand?

SuckSuckStyle 01-04-2012 10:19 PM

i'd rather have my hearing. no question.

i'd still be able to read, write, listen to music, communicate verbally with ANYONE (not rely on sign language), hear emotion in the spoken word....

duovamp 01-04-2012 10:35 PM

I'd rather lose my hearing.

Wouldn't need a dog to go to the store. Could drive to work. Could cross streets. Could walk on sand. Could enjoy sunsets. Wouldn't need to learn braille. Could enjoy hot women but never have to listen to them.

TuralyonW3 01-04-2012 10:52 PM

Vision by a mile. And music is a huge part of my life.

Dead Frequency 01-04-2012 10:56 PM

Hearing, you could still feel music.

TuralyonW3 01-04-2012 11:19 PM

Yeah I would just go to SWANS concerts

Dogfighter28 01-04-2012 11:21 PM

Rather lose vision.

You could still converse normally with people without them having to write down things or use another language. Hearing would be more intense. Not to mention sex becoming a much more tactile experience.

Yeah you could text/IM/email with working eyes.

rottenugly 01-05-2012 01:34 AM

And write things down instead of talking.

bahnzah 01-05-2012 01:36 AM

98% of all communication is non-verbal. I communicate with my body language all the time.

holy shit, my friend had that album. blast from the past

MyOneAndOnly 01-05-2012 10:51 PM

reprise ain't dumb. I have seen an intelligent side to him and I would never call him dumb. He's got some demons and shit. that's all.

MyOneAndOnly 01-05-2012 10:59 PM

I'm losing my hearing. As much as it sucks, I can't imagine losing my eyesight. I enjoy being outdoors, and I could continue to enjoy all that if I was deaf.

My mother was legally deaf, didn't wear a hearing aid and didn't know how to sign. If you had met her before she died you'd have never known she was deaf. Probably because she went deaf in her 40s. I would hope that when my hearing is gone I could get through life as easily as she did... except for the drinking herself to death part.

although, If I couldn't listen to music, I might fucking lose it.

Dead Frequency 01-05-2012 11:03 PM

Yeah, I'm already at a 40% hearing loss due to a tumor that grew in my right ear while in 7th grade. Having no vision means reliance and no driving.

Dogfighter28 01-05-2012 11:56 PM
