Deaf I think... I don't think I could ever get used to having no sight and not seeing my kids etc ever again.

Deaf. I dont think it would impact on your life as much as being blind would.

I was born deaf but then I had a fair few operations to put some special implants in my ears so that I could hear.

My hearing's around about average, perhaps a little less. It dips quite harshly when I'm ill though but I can hear fine most of the time.

Only certain types of deafness mind. The implants I had wouldn't work on everyone. I was just lucky that mine was treatable.

I thought I had put this in General Chat.

I'd rather go blind I think, a world of silence would be awful.
