Thanks for this really cool response and an insight into your personal troubles around hearing.
I have to say that for me losing hearing was my choice also and for pretty much the same reasons you say as well. Not having hearing would be terrible, but sight or touch? No way, I' would never give them up...Again, for the same reasons you mention.
All of our senses are so vital to our experiences in life and losing one, or all would be so tragic and limiting on life. Losing hearing is probably the lesser of evils in my mind as the other senses, sight, touch and smell for instance would be able to compensate a little easier. Losing my sight isn't something I would feel comfortable with at all.

It is true that all of our senses are vital, but it is strong when you have all your senses well, and due to some circumstances you lose one.
I know a boy who was born without being able to see, but he gets on very well, he walks alone in the street, and he is also an excellent and well-known flutist. This is how they manage to develop other senses.
Yes, there are many such cases. But losing sight after having it for so long must be terrible.
Yes it is. My grandfather once lost his sight and it was strong for him, I think for everyone at home, he was upset, but he managed to cope, then they operated And he saw again.
They fixed his eyes? Amazing what they can do these days!
No hahaha. I had a cataract. And they could correct the sick.
@galenkp thank you for another challenging post. It has created great interaction and I loved to take a break yesterday from what I was doing and read other people's responses and comments to some. I am so curious about this weekend's topic!
For this week...You mentioned survival a while back...But I can't say more. :)
I am a Leo (a curious cat as well). I'll ave to be patient until next week-end and see. Which is quite a challege in itself for me.
They say patience is a virtue but shut up with all of that and tell me now! Lol.
Haha!
I shall practice it and if I cannot anymore, I'll write you during this week...begging, probably, that you disclose more!
Hugs and good-night!
Night! Have a good, and patient week.
