Well, this would be the two of you who are losing something so that is a tough question. In a Special Education class I took it was proved that to be deaf is more of a handicap than no sight. Reason being is that when you are deaf you also cannot speak and you can't learn. Being blind, you can be educated. Make sense. I thought the same as everyone else until that course.

I definitely agree. Eyesight is more important than hearing. The federal government agrees: worker's compensation provides more money for loss of eyesight than for loss of hearing.

I agree with you, I am losing some of my eyesight, I hate it, Hearing is no big deal, it just means I do not have to hear people talk bad anymore.

Each has it's own challenges. I guess if I had to choose I'd rather have sight than hearing.
