Welcome back to another exciting night of the Important Poll of the Day! Tonight is a more debatable topic, so lets carry on.

I was discussing this with my friend, sammyjenkis89, and I couldn't decide. Would I rather suffer a loss of hearing, or suffer a loss of vision? If you read my thread the other day, you probably know I almost suffered a loss of vision, and it was not fun. My only gripe with losing my hearing is not being able to have conversations, and not being able to listen to music. But with with a loss of vision, no more video games, no more movies (but you can listen to the dialogue.

So which would you rather lose? Vision or hearing?

They say other senses are heightened, which could add to experiences I suppose. I just mean, there are certain things people wouldn't want to go without.

i used to think vision, because I loved listening to music... these days I don't listen to much music though, and since I'm getting back into reading, I'll go with hearing.

Hearing. Vision seems more important. You woulden't be able to really do anything alone like even just walking outside without thinking you might get hit by a car or something.

There's surgery to make vision better, not make someone see again after they've been blind.

My hearing is absolutely horrible for my age. It has gotten to the point that recently I have considered going to the doctor to see if anything can be done.

There's surgery to make vision better, not make someone see again after they've been blind.

Actually it depends. I read a while ago that there's procedures they have that can restore a very small amount of vision. I think it's mostly light though. Also to someone else: there are hair restoration surgery procedures now too. They take hair follicles from the back of your head and implant them to the front area of your head where hair is receding.

Hearing. Could care less what people have to say to me. I don't like having long conversations either unless we are buds.

I feel like imagination with hearing would serve better than to not hear at all. What a dull life without sounds.

[QUOTE="loserbam828"] Well, there's a lot of pluses and minuses to each one. I don't know what's so horrible about it :roll:loserbam828

There are pluses to losing one's vision and hearing?

They say other senses are heightened, which could add to experiences I suppose. I just mean, there are certain things people wouldn't want to go without.

Then stick a pen in your eyes and tell me how that's working out for you ...

anyway...i'd choose death, seriously...

I do not want to live without sound, without hearing birds singing every morning, hearing a beautiful girl say " yes" to me .... without music...music is a huge part of my life...

Nor do i want to live without seeing...not seeing my friends and family's faces, smiles, the colours of spring and autumn, any color for that matter ... even seeing some stuck up chick trip after she just told you off...pfffft...

If I had to choose what u said...I'd say shoot me...

Even though I listen to music ALL THE TIME...I would have to go with hearing. You can't do anything when you're blind, so I'm willing to sacrifice my second favourite past time for that... :(

I have a feeling I'll be going deaf soon anyways, since I already have terrible hearing as it is...with my eyesight on the other hand being awesome to say the least...lol.

It's a really tough one, and a close call, but I'd choose to go deaf.

I adore music so much, but I like looking at stuff and reading just a little bit more.

I'd want to lose hearing, I don't think I could live in darkness for the rest of my life, and I'd miss movies and music.

I'd also be pretty upset about not having the ability to see the people I love.

... Hearing... Losing sight is a far greater handicap to the point that its difficult to live by your self... Though it would suck to losing the hearing.. Could at least read books.. And watch movies with subtitles..

Your sig is a pretty good reason why I'd rather lose hearing.
