I'd rather be deaf, in the long run I could continue bodybuilding, driving, MOST other things (including sex, etc...).  If you were blind, how the hell could you TRUST what was going on in sex??

Louie was only an infant in the cwib, and he devewoped this ear infection. We didn't know it at the time...until Louie was about thwee wears old, we found out that he was hard of heawing. That's why he never took an interest in things...other kids would take an interest in, like tewevision. He was late wearning to speak and ewerything. Louie would become a lip weader.

When I met Lou at the AC in 2007, I was talking to his deaf ear.   :-\  I honestly forgot that he was deaf.  I hadn't watched Pumping Iron in years.  Maybe that's why Lou was giving me a dirty look but he did allow me to get a pic with him, after he tried to charge me $20.  My friend who had paid for a pic stepped in and reminded Lou that he had paid for a pic so not to charge me.  I got a freebie.

Deaf fo sho homey.  Too many pretty babies walking around bouncing their perfect jugs and asses for me to not enjoy.  Besides, being deaf would spare me all the asinine bullshit i am inflicted with daily.  I work at a major university and the pretty babies are everywhere.  Whenever i see them i thank god for putting them here for the betterment of the world.

I have old age hearing problems which are annoying, both for me and for those who have to repeat what they say to me. When I had my hearing checked, the technician didn't think it was bad enough to warrant the expense of hearing aids yet. My vision started getting worse when I was in my late thirties. I wear glasses and sometimes contacts. Lately, my vision has improved, which is weird. I would rather be deaf then blind, if I had to choose between the two. Hope it never comes to this though.

ah ya. deaf for sure.

I was in Central America in 2005. I contracted a parasite that feeds off the cornea of your eye. it only attacks contact lens wearers. I got it diving.

by the time I got home and got it properly diagnosed it had taken half the good vision in my left eye (20/20 to 20/50) and had spread thru tears into my right eye. I could have lost my eyesight completely. the top cornea surgeon in the country said he's only seen it a handful of times in his entire career. I was very lucky.

so ya. deaf for sure. potentially losing your eyesight is a very scary, horrible thing.

I'd rather lose my hearing.

But if I had a choice i'd rather be blind from birth rather than deaf. Blind people can still envision the world with their other senses and with heightened ability of those senses too.

the proposition of the question does not say whither you have always or become blind or deaf

if you are blind you cant see very well (not all "blind" people are totally blind) but others can see you are
If you are deaf then unless others know you are likely to be very isolated and depending on when you become deaf you may also lose the ability to speak (for how will you hear your self?)

is it significant that sound deprevation is frequently used as a method of torture or/ and punishment?

good point.....if you were born blind, you are a much different person than if you were born with it and loose it later on in life....steve wonder was born blind, but his ability with music was awesome....his hearing is more advanced than most people......but in the case of Beethoven, the greatest musician who ever lived, he started loosing his hearing in his mid-forties until he lost them completely by the age of 50, his condition would have been treated in this day and age....he must have been thru hell. loosing his hearing, the very sense all musicians need....stories said how he wrote letters to his friends about committing suicide because he could only feel his compositions internally and only felt vibrations

Deaf for sure. I dated a deaf girl back in the day for over a year. She didn't talk much and made loud sounds in the bedroom that reminded me of a dolphin hahaha ..  first couple times she got mad cause at some point she'd make a sound that made me laugh. Women apparently don't like when you start laughing during sex  ;D

This means when people are looking into your eyes and not you seeing them. I guess if you were blind you'd have to figure out some other way to see other people's soul. BTW the other part of this saying is that you mouth reveals who you've become.
