Read once being blind separates you from things. Deaf separates you from people. Even after pondering that I could not choose blind. Ladies. Sunrises. Color. Hard to imagine losing that.

Which impediment do you think is worse?

Ima go with deaf.

Deaf was my choice as well.


blind, well, that seems about a thousand times more challenging

Being blind is much worse.

being blind as already stated would be so much more of a difficult life.


As the OP asks, which do I think is worse? Sit me in front of some great music, and I'll wish I never go deaf. Sit me in front of a great scene, and I'd wish I never went blind.

This thread brought to you by 50 minutes last night where I woke up, couldn't fall back to sleep, and started thinking about that commercial for that drug they are selling for blind people with a circadian rhythm problem.
Dumb question. Blind would be awful. Deaf would be much better, although suck

How can anyone answer this question without more information?

1. Where are you?

Geography counts. I would rather be blind in France than deaf in Italy. Definitely.

It was meant to provoke discussion... lol there is no exact right answer.... you are welcome to put parameters on your answer as you did.

Though I was thinking in terms of modern America.

I feel like technology is so out of reach for the blind.... as most people have said, being functional as a deaf person is much easier than as a blind person.
