If you had to choose between your sight or your hearing, how would you choose?

Is seeing or hearing more important to you? What if you had

to lose one of these senses? Which one would you rather lose? Why?

sight of cause. eye contact make me feel save.

Iris's picture

I am a near -sighted girl,I know very well about this point :if you cant see ,you will be afraid.As for me ,seeing is very important.If I cant see,I have a strong feeling that I am staying in a corner,and will be forgetten by the world.

It is said that life is full of beauty if you use your eyes to see ,to discover .So I think our eyes are used to look for beauty!

 If  I am deaf,I can learn sigh language or use my imagination to know what is going on   ,but if I cant see ,I cant distinguish what happen just by hearing.

If one day I loose my sight the world is nothing to me .My life without movies ,theme park ,my parents ,my friends and so on .I can't imagine such boring life .If I loose the sight people must take care of me ,I will become a burden on others.So I would rather choose hearing.Cry

It's hard to give up one of them.

I like to see all kinds of people,all kinds of things.I care all about what happen around me.So I'd like to experience them with my eyes rather than my ears.

As a near-sighted girl,I deeply feel that sight is more important than anything else in our life.Without sight,everything in our eyes is just the same---dark and dark again.You couldn't enjoy the colorful world.Without sight,doing everything is extremely inconvenient and troublesome.Occasionally,it will result serious consequences,for example,some people will lose their temper and become out of control of themselves.

Therefore,in my point of view,sight is more substantial than hearing.Though we miss the chance of listening wonderful sounds,we,at the same time,can still have the advantage of forever being far away from the disturbing noise.WinkWhat's more,possessing good sight,we can have a wide looking at handsome gentlemen.Tongue outJust kidding...Give a smile...

Amber's picture

I will choose sight!

The world is beautiful,I can not really enjoy it if I just has my hearing.I also can not know the colorful nature and the people's expression around me.Without hearing, I can enjoy my life as well.But without sight,my life will full of fear and darkness.So I am really sorry to the blind person.

It is hard to live without sight or hearing ...

 

And I don't want to choose between them !BUT I think in different age ,my choice is different@@

 

When I am young  I would like to choose my sight,because there are so many things I haven't seen ~this is a cognitive process~It is difficult to know things whitout sight~

When I am old I can't move and react fexibly,I need someone to take care of me.If I couldn't hear,I would become annoying people!so I would like to choose my hearing~

Serena's picture

Given the choice, i would rather choose  sight  than hearing.

Because if you lose your sight , you can not see the most beautiful view in your  life. You can not see the blue sky , the colorful rainbow ,  what's more , you can not see your lover. It 's a pity that you are unable to see your lover even if he just stand in front of you.

so , i 'm side with sight!

yuki's picture

Between losing sight and losing hearing, i will chose to lose my sight.

Because i love music! I love voices from everything! If i can not hear music, my heart will be empty.  Losing sight means u can not see your lover, but u still can hear his/her voice and feel how much he/she love u by your heart!

My  answer  is  sight.If  you  can  not  hear ,you still  have  a  chance  to  heal.Because  I  have  seen  a  news  before.It  says  scientist  have  already  invent  a  new  way  to  make  people  hear  things  again .But  I  think  it  will  take  a  long  time   to    invent  a  way  to  make  a  new  eye  for  people  to  see  again.

i must admit that it is a cruel question.I hope the tragedy will never perform in our life.What is more,it is also difficult to answer.Forced me to stand for the election between the hearing and the sight,i would choose hearing.

Without hearing,I will never know how wonderful the sound of nature is;

Without hearing,i will never know how the music stir our heart and memory;

Without hearing,i will never know how the encourgement given by my family and friends enrich your life.

Without hearing,i will never know how to pronounce the important names appear in your life.

It is terrible!

 

Sight can be replaced by your imagination if you possess a positive attitude to life.

Houston's picture

Looking on those posted comments, i try to imagine what a soundless world should be? What a black world should be?  The answer is ,to me, a soundless world is terrible as well as a black world. But if i had to choose, i would choose to hold my sight. I love music and hate annoying noise. I think a deaf man may live more easily than a blindman. I just don't want to bring much troubles to my family. I don't want to lose the images of my family. I want see the faces of those people I love.

beety's picture

I love singing,dangcing,playing the piano,and all about music.Every day and night,if I have time,I will listen to varied beautiful songs.Music is my soul.I can't imagine what I can do if I lose my hearing.

But,if I must make a choice between these,I think I would choose to lose my hearing.Although it must be a horrible shock for me,I can see my beloved,see my parents and my friends,see what I am look like,see everything in this world.Maybe then,I will live in a silent world,looking for a peace world in the bottom of my heart.

Therefore,today is a present.I will cherish everyday to work hard to realize my dream.Because no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

Believe in myself.Never give up!

Irene's picture

If I have to choose one of them,I prefer to my sight.Because without sight is far more awful than without hearing to me .without the sight ,I can not do many things by myself .On the contray,I have to bother others to help me in my daily life.This will bring much inconvenience to both my parents and my friends.what's more ,I even cannot figure out what my parents look like.I can't stand it.

Tina's picture

I would rather lose hearing .I can not imagine that my world was dark. I can not imagine  that I can not imagine that i couldn't see my families' and my friends' expressions on their faces,especially simle. I want to travel to many places to see the beautiful nature and the morden cities. I love to see the world made up of different colors. I would be more sad if I lose the seeing instead of the hearing.i could judge what others say by observing their mouths.

Journey's picture

If asked to make a decision,I would prefer my sight.

The beatiful and courful world is not very important.

I just want to hold my families,my lover and my friends...I can't amage that if I can' see all the people I love.They can write down what they want to tell me, I see their expression,their smiles and their tears...I  feel the feelings through seeing more than hearing.

I remember that when I was eighteen my mother had ever persuaded me to accept a surgery for myopia. Though I hate wearing glasses, I reject her suggestion. I am extremely afraid that I would lose my sight if the surgery is unsuccessful.

World is colorful and lovely. Darkness is horrible and miserable. Without hearing, we still can appreciate the beautiful scenery, “hear” by reading people’s lips. Without sight, we will be dangerous when we walk on the streets or stay at home alone.

Above all, if I was destined to be blind, I would frankly accept it. I can give up everything, but I just can’t stand not seeing the people who I love and who love me!

 

 

Habe's picture

 Absolutely sight is more important !

 I can stand to lose sound, but I can not bear to lose bright. Because I scare the darkness ,and i think the blind is more inconvenient than the deaf in the daily life .

 

Tree's picture

Seeing this question,I think of him in no time.I knew him in the middle school.He was unable to hear the sounds when he was born.I" talked" to him with my hands and expressions,but mostly we used pens .He wrote the things that he wanted to ask,and so did I.In others' eyes,it took a lot of time.Yes,it did.But I just want to say that a soundless world is also attractive.That is what i learn from him.He is so active and energetic.So for me,if i have to lose one of the senses,i'll choose hearing.And i am sure i 'll also live a wonderful life like him.

claire's picture

I am convinced that sight is the sun!  Absolutely!! The brightness can cheer up our mood,    Sight bring about hope and power.

If one can see everything ,he can touch happiness directly, he will not feel lonely.  However without sight one would sunk into darkness and cause a major scare.

So I choose sight and give up hearing

Melody's picture

Losing sight ,without a doubt ,is hard to carry on wonderful life--I will no longer read unrestrainedly what I love ; I won't have the chance to observe my surroundings, the bright smiles and exquisite objects.

However,taking this into consideraton , I'll ask myself what will be  the most beautiful thing in my life .I want to live a simpler life now .Magically,when I was unable to see anything ,I feel a quiet world ,just like the state of meditation .I think ,SOMEBODY,who show care to me ,I wanna treasure.Through voices,the more real what they express I can feel. It's nice to have friends to speak our mind freely:A lover that sighs,the words of love fall into my heart.

 

Leafia's picture

I will choose my eyesight without hesitation if this is a must-answered-question.I knew the importance of eyesight and facultyof memory meexactly since the experience of missing in the big and busy city without anybody could help me.If I could not see eveything around me,maybe i can not have my parents and be here answering your second question .......

Sugar's picture

Without sight,it's dark;without hearing it's silent.Like most of the girls,I'm extremely scared of darkness!FrownI would keep my sight instead of hearing if I have to choose.With my sight(though I am near-sighted) ,it would be more reassuring.

Emma's picture

Taking into consideration,both sides are all important for me! If asked to make a decision, I would prefer the sight.Because I am afraid of darkness ! Without light my life will loss hopes.I am unwilling to  part with this colourful world ! Maybe lossing hearing would influence my communication with the others ,but I can express myself  by eyes and hands .So I am in favor of the choose of sight.

cherry's picture

I would rather lose my hearing than lose my sight.

I am near-sighted.Without glasses ,i am just like a blind girl.I can hardly do anything.so since i was very young,i have realized that sight is very important for me.Besides,our world is colorful and lovely.I can't miss it.,and I don't want to live a world without light.

Lo's picture

I cannot stand the world without light.I do not want to konw the world just by the descripton of my friends.If i have to pick one out of them,please take away my hearing.

Caleb's picture

Sight,of course,if I have to choose!  Darkness is always the most fearful thing.A lot of things can still be done with your eyes, but can not with your ears. The beautiful and meaningful things that you saw can easily  make up what you lose without your hearing.

Ally's picture

I will definitely choose sight.

The beautiful landscapes ,the wonderful colors, the kindest faces do amuse me. I will keep them in my memory as tresures,whenever  I take it out ,I could enjoy that happy feeling again ...It would be rather cruel that I couldn't see those amazing things.   Maybe  sounds have it's own attraction, but seeing is much more important to me. If i could only see , it should be very sad, but I will try hard to learn sign language to communicate with others. But if i could only hear, I almost lose the whole world.

And my biggest regret is getting near-sighted . I didn't take care  of my eyes when I was very young. I watched TV all the day...that did harms to my eyes.

I do wish I could cure my near-sighted one dayLaughing

Star's picture

I think that there are ways to cure your near-sightedness, true? Can't you have an operation? Have you thought about that?

sympathy liang's picture

 

           in, my opinion,it's a difficult mutiple choice.but,i must choose one,i will choose my eyes,without the eyes.i loose the opportunity to see my surrounding scenery.i hold that eyes can express one's emotion.though i can't hear anything,i can experience the sight see by my eyes,i also can feel the miracle of the world.Smile

Christine's picture

    Both of them are of great inportance to us.If asked to make a decision,I would prefer the sight.

    I hold that loss of sight is a horrible thing.You can't  appreciate the wonderful world any longer.In the darkness,you are alone.This kind of feeling is unbearable.What's more,you can't tell the one you care is happy or not through his eyes.I consider that eyes can reflect your heart directly.Furthermore,if you lose you hearing,you can use audiphone to help you hear the voices.Restoring sight is a more complex and difficult matter.

   Seeing is very essential to us!

Leona's picture

If I have to choose,I will choose losing my hearing.How could I bear not seeing my families,lover,and friend's smile and tears and every beautiful scenery in the world?Without hearing,I can create a language and pieces of music of my own.Moreover,I am afraid of darkness,so I do not want to lose my sight.

Star's picture

Yes. Losing sight would be horrible,especially in marriage, where you would no longer be able to see your wife or your kids.

Joypang's picture

If i loose my sight i will have no sense of safety.That's horrible.

On the other hand,loosing my hearing may not be a bad thing because the world seems too noisy~haha~

Nicole C's picture

I prepher hearing.It is universally konwn that hearing has a tight connection with speaking.Provided that I am a baby just begining to learn how to say,If I can't hear the sound,how can I imitate?Then if I can't imitate,how can I learn to say.

No hearing,no speaking.

Shirley TU's picture

As a saying goes:"Seeing  is  believing ."  If I were blind, I would be incredulous  about  many things ,and I would feel unsafe.I  hate to feel insecurity

sue's picture

    I prefer to sight instead of hearing.Though it is very important to hear the sound outside. However, in my point of view, if I can't see beautiful scene, I would feel sad.

Niki's picture

   it is  obvious that most people would choose  their sight .nobody prefer to lose the opportinity to see the  wonderful  world.but if i  happen to lose my sight ,i would never lose hope.i would use my hearing to imagine how beautiful the world is. throught different kinds of sounds,i can  imagine a new world which  is just belong to me.

Connie's picture

It is  a tough question indeed . However, if I have to choose between them,I will choose to hold my sight.I remember that there is a time the light was cut off,everything around me is dark. I felt without security at that time beacuse i don"t know where is the chair and where is the road i should go ahead.So i believe sight is more important.we can see everything in the world whether it is good or not.what"s more,without sight,we will become a burden for others.How can we be independent?

daisy's picture

people's eyes can be a window into their heart.so i believe that eyes  can be more important .at least,if i am deaf,i don't need to worry about any undesired sound.there is no quarrel ,complaint, and with the bright sight,we can appreaciate the colourful world.most important thing is that we can take care of ourselves.

Maggie's picture

It's really hard to make a choice. Both of them are important. If I have to lose one of them, I will forgo my hearing. I like to read people's expression, because it can tell me lots of things which words can not give me. Though eyes, I can know things better. Therefore, hearing is my choice.

Cherry L's picture

if i lose my hearing,i cannot listen to music.But i can still watching,reading,walking without help.i 'd love to see the colorful world,to watch the sun rise and sun set ,to feel the seasonal changes.. what's more,i can catch my lover's hand easily .

Vivi's picture

I will choose to keep my beautiful eyes~~

Without hearing,I still can do everything I want to do.But,I will lose all the beautiful things in the world without my eyes.

Therefore,I will choose to use my eyes to hear all the beautiful and colorful things in the world, to tell all the good and evil arond me,to feel the sunset and sunrise everday,and to feel people's pleasure,anger,sorrow,joy...

In a word,I will use my eyes to hear the sound of life if I lose my hearing!SmileSmile

I  think  seeing  is   more  importantant   than   hearing .If I  can  not  hear,I  also understand  other people   with   the   help  of other things .however,without  sight   ,I  could   not   see   the   most  beautiful  of   world  . I   do  not  want   to   live   alone  ,  just   darkness   world .

AIR's picture

 if i have to choose,i must choose to hold the sight! I love the world . The world is beautiful .I am afraid to lose my sight ,that means I will be lonely in the world .Without hearing, I also can tell wether everyone's happiness or sorrow from his/her face. Without sight , I don't know the cruel fact in the world will happen to me and then escape from that ...

I would choose sight. I think it's harder for a man to live without his sight. If I can't hear anything, at least I can still take care of myself, and I can see the expressions of others.

Catherine's picture

I would choose sight with a sigh... cause such question is really...

But if I have to choose just one, I prefer sight. Because I think without sight, my world would become colorless~ with more difficulties life will become much more difficult.  (but I really don't want to lose my hearing~ oh~ music... I love music...)

I have a good friend, her grandpa has a very bad hearing, so he always can't hear what others complaint about him~ My friend once badinaged to me that to have a bad hearing is not that bad, especially when we are old, we won't hear the complaint from our grandchildren.

so, finally, I choose sight~

Star's picture

I hope I have that good attitude when I get old :). Unfortunately, as we get older, both of those senses -seeing and hearing - start to slip away from us. It's just what happens...

Josie Chow's picture

wow ,that's a dilemma.If I have to choose,I will choose my sight.

The most wonderful thing for me is 'on the way'. I mean I really love to take a bus,a plane ,or a ferry. I love to see the landscape outside the car windows,see the sea outside the ferry,and see the gorgeous blue sky and high moutains.

Losing my sight is  like losing the whole world.I can't see people's face and appearance.People may hise their emotion to me .That is uncomfortable.
