I'd rather be deaf, then blind.

That is such a difficult question. I think it would be worse to be deaf. I'd hate to think that I could never see my children again. Of course, to be deaf I'd never be able to hear them say I love you Mommy. Hopefully I won't have to deal with either. Good post!

i think blind would be worse, because you couldn't tell the look on people's faces when they look at you - how could you ever trust someone who says "hey lets have a drink" while holding their... oh you know. or "i love you baby" with their fingers crossed, rolling their eyes, while counting the money they've ripped you off from your disability pension (conveniently they're telling you it's $400 a month, pocketing the other $1000).... yeah. blind is worse.

I think blind. Reason being, I could not play my video games.

i would also say being blind would be worse. There are several "alternatives" for hearing (sign language, reading lips, reading text, etc) but there isn't really much that you could do as an alternative to being blind.

I think blind, because not being able to hear, you could still read people's mouth's.

This is an extremely tough question. I'm torn between the two. Music is so important to me that I would find it devastating to be deaf. Being blind though would also be really harsh. No driving, computer, etc. Gosh! I really can't say which one would be worse. They are both equally bad.
