It’s safe to say the people in here have experienced music at a high level of quality. If faced with the choice would you choose to give up your hearing and live without the joys of headphones or sacrifice your vision to continue in this hobby? Just something to think about. (Not trying to be offensive to the unfortunate ones who are blind or deaf.)
born blind is way better than being born deaf
but losing sight is a bigger deal than losing hearing
Why is it worse to be born deaf than to be born blind? My instinct would suggest the opposite, similar to the second line you wrote .
it’s because you’d have harder time communicating with people, language is a spoken tool before it was written, and sign language is not really as useful for communication you’d wish as it really depends on if others know it which in most cases they don’t
so being born deaf would isolate you a lot, just imagine seeing people talking in front of you and you can’t hear them, it would really feel bad, on the other hand born blind people don’t really know what they are missing out on
