I am just as deaf as I am blind. The problems of deafness are deeper and more complex, if not more important, than those of blindness. Deafness is a much worse misfortune. For it means the loss of the most vital stimulus – the sound of the voice that brings language, sets thoughts astir, and keeps us in the intellectual company of man. ~Helen Keller
I'd have to go with deafness because i feel like there are so many more ways to connect with people using the other senses. You have verbal language, music, touch, scent is more closely related to memory than any other sense. Sure there are many beautiful things to look at but also things that you cannot unsee.
