This is really hard but my first thought was I rather be deaf. At least for movies I can read the subtitles and understand the movie. Then I am missing out on my beloved music. Argh the choices, the choices. My final choice would be deaf, I would sacrifice my music. There are so many more cons being blind in my opinion. I would not be able to read my comics, watch movies, or play video games. Being deaf all I miss out on is music and speech which is terrible too. Very, very hard decision for me.

I'd rather be blind. Being deaf means you will also be mute which makes it extremely hard to communicate with people. As a blind person I can still talk to people, as a deaf person, probably not.

This is a very hard decision Both would be extremely hard to deal with but they have ups and downs. i would prolly pick blind because if you are deaf you cant talk, hear anything (obviously >.>) and it would be hard. See if you were blind you can still talk, listen to music, read, and do many other things. and you can has a guide doggie ♥♥

From a psychological perspective, the loss of hearing has far greater impact than most people can imagine. I would definately rather lose my sight than my hearing. The loss of hearing creates an immense feeling of isolation from one's environment even if you learn to lip read etc.

Both would suck, but I would say deaf. I wouldn't want to live without seeing anything or anybody.

Def deaf lol. It would be horrible though and driving would be super boring especially long distances but atleast i could still drive and play games and surf the net. It probably wont be too many more years until they can solve both with computer implants (though it wont be nearly as good as having it without obviously).

As much as I love music, I would choose to be deaf, sight to me is much more important.

Deaf, by all means. Not being able to see gives me a clausterphobic feeling. Plus, it would be creepy not being able to see anything and then still being able to hear weird noises around you, never knowing what they are. Just my way of looking at it...

That's such a hard choice. I wanted to say blind right away since I'm kind of a musician and I really love listening to music, but then again I want to go into computers and I really need to see. I guess I'd rather be deaf, but I'd miss music so much.

Deaf. Not being able to see makes life much harder than not hearing. Also, I have all my music stored in my head that I can still hear.

Deaf. Most people who lose their hearing after adolescence can still talk fine, and I think I could learn to lip-read. No music would suck, but I'd get over it eventually.

Losing sight is something I don't think I could really cope with. I'm kind of paranoid by nature, so not being able to see would drive me crazy. And I don't have the coordination to get by without sight. Plus my hearing already kinda sucks, so it's not like I'd be able to really compensate.

Deaf, easily. I wouldnt have a life if i was blind. At least if you still have vision, you can enjoy the worlds beauty, as well as women, communicaste via hand sign or writing, video games, do active or sporty things, drive, you can basically do anything anyone else can do.

Deaf I could live comfortably enough without music, but I don't see how I could survive without being able to see.

Wow, this thread is going to give me nightmares. I'm leaning towards deaf, although I watched Babel yesterday and I felt sorry for the deaf girl (bit creepy though>.>).
