That is a hard question but I would rather be deaf than blind. Mainly because I wear glasses and my vision is already and when I can't find my glasses it leaves you vulnerable, but then you couldn't hear what is happening around you which could be dangerous is a lot of cases when you don't hear something coming or something about to happen. Both are livable with/without but also both would put you at risk.

It probably sounds silly, but from time to time I try to operate as if I was blind by closing my eyes and operating until I know for a fact I've made a mistake. Heating up or grabbing snacks, grabbing clothes, etc.
It isn't easy and I don't always do it right, but as long as computers have some way to make all these pretty forums and things audio-able, I'd take blindness. Knowing what colors look like now and having an active imagination as I do, I'd still be able to 'picture' the world around me some.

I don't know... Being deaf, I'd never get to hear my future kids laugh or my wife speak. And I'd be missing out on music, which I really enjoy!

But blind, I'd miss out on driving. And picturesque scenery.

I guess I'd rather be blind. But not by much.

Because they have so few buses, it has to make stops at every single stop. A 10 minute car ride becomes a 25min bus ride.

Oh, deaf. Let's be honest, what are you really missing from people?

I'm coming to the conclusion that bus systems in the united states are just plain terrible. I don't think I remember ever speaking to an American that's said otherwise about them...

I am completely deaf in my left ear, making things quite difficult as it is, but I couldn't even begin to imagine having no sight.

I'd give up my hearing in an instant for the sake of being able to see.

I've actually thought about this quite often, since I'm partially both already. I'm sure I could give up my remaining hearing much easier than I could give up my remaining eyesight.

That's a tough one. I have a song in my head 24/7 and music is a big part of my life so being permanently deaf would probably drive me to severe depression. Obviously that's not the only drawback to being deaf (try playing Mario Kart with the sound off and see how often you can avoid incoming attacks) but that would be the biggest one for me easily, even past being able to have conversations.

But being permanently blind would make me unable to do ANY of the things I love, like watching TV or playing games or coding on the computer or participating in sports or being able to drive myself anywhere or etc etc etc.

So given those two options, if I had to pick one, I'd rather be deaf.

bus, walk, demon -1 walk. scooter, skateboard, car. all got votes. plus my vote for a car.

but for me, planes would come close 2nd. if i had a million dollars, i would consider getting my license and a plane. or a switchblade

anyway, that last one didnt get to much attention. lets do a hard one. hypothetically, your in a serious accident.

would you prefer to be permanently blind, or permanently deaf?

A car is my preferred method of transportation, but dealing with parking often makes it not worth it. I therefore usually either walk or take a shuttle.

If I had my way, I'd hoof it as much as I can. I already skip driving for what I can unless being in a vehicle will save me a ton of sweat and discomfort.
