Ears and eyes are both precious. But I don't think I could ever stand not being able to see again. (Well, I feel the same about hearing as well). But I'd fear blindness over deafness.
Wow. I had to think about that for a moment. As much as I would miss seeing the faces of my loved ones, going without their voices would be much worse. I would go crazy not being able to hear my son coo or Jessie breathing in my ear...also, my music. My world revolves around it...
I'd give up my eyes before my ears anyday of the week. The sound of loved ones voices, music, laughter, birds singing, my kitties meowing at me - I couldn't live without it.
you know a friend of mine who's deaf told me people always say to him, well rather be deaf than being blind. and its one of his pet peeves. i can see why, if i was deaf and some normal person said that to me id smack a bitch. life would be too difficult being blind.... everyday tasks become majorly hard. i would choose deaf
