Sight, or Sound?

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~ 28]

To the way earlier posts about sciency stuff and about who would have an easier life:

This is more about what you value more rather then would you have an easier life. Both would make your life harder. Yes being deaf would be easier because reading lips and all that jazz, but I myself value my hearing a lot more then my sight. Sight is also so imperfect, hearing is a lot more accurate and I can orient myself with hearing. I'd be willing to have less of a life quality to keep my hearing.

Oh and about the Bethoven thing, he wasn't 100% deaf. He had about 20% of his hearing, so he created these weird gizmos to put up to his ear to hear and it actually worked. He also bit his piano (something I can't do on a guitar or a bass) to hear the vibrations. When he did go FULLY deaf, he had such an understanding of music and such a perfect pitch he didn't need to actually hear what he was writing since he knew how it all sounded from a life of music. I sadly do not have that, so at the moment my answer keeps being:

I'd rather be blind.

Either is fine. I would die if I had to give up TASTE! (food... )
