If you had no choice but to be either blind or deaf...

Deaf. I'm an avid reader, and being blind would mean I'd need to learn braille first and get all my books in braille.
Also, while pron works when you deaf, it doesn't work as good when you are blind.

Anyone who doesn't choose deaf is the R word.

Yay salandrin thread!!!
OT: deaf, I need my eyes to use a computer properly. Being deaf while difficult at first wouldn't be as unbearable since I don't listen to music and I don't talk to many people other than my immediate family.

Deaf obviously. You can still live a very full life if you're deaf. There's subtitles and everything. Not to mention the fact that there are implants that let you hear.

Deaf, you'd be really handicapped if you were blind.

I'd hate to be deaf but I can't even fathom living without eyesight so deafness wins.

Deaf. If I was blind I would be constantly worried I had something on my face or a dumb looking hair cut.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

Deaf.
I'd miss hearing voices, music, everything though.

If I choose deaf, I can still retain what I learned and such right?

I'd have to agree with this really. If I were suddenly rendered blind I may as well kill myself, it would prevent/massively inhibit practically everything I enjoy doing. Originally Posted by Blueobelisk

That's completely untrue, deaf people can talk, and can learn what letters sound like. Originally Posted by Vizardlorde

Deaf here, seems obvious to me.

I could adapt to either, but given the choice I'd pick deaf.
If you add me on Steam, Skype or whatever program/client I share my info for, please write something to identify you in the "Dude/gal wants to join your club"-message. Just so I know that an actual human is on the other end :P

Deaf.
I think id prefer eyesight over just having sound, although in my experience people that go blind without being deaf gain an exceptional ability to hear things after a while.
