IMO not being able to hear isn't as bad as you think. I could *not* live without my sight, however. No way.tai95 said:

I don't know. I guess if I was born deaf I could deal with it, but to just lose your hearing after having it would just be to hard. I know what you mean about sight. My friends little sister lost her sight when she was 14, and I don't know how she ever managed to deal with that. Have you ever tried to describe a color? Try to describe Blue to someone who was born blind. I don't know how you could do it.
I choose hearing.
Its got to be the best one to lose.
Think about it...
You could sleep in with no problems because you couldn't hear the kids fighting, the neighbor cutting grass at 9 AM, the dogs barking etc..
Also wouldn't hear the spouse nagging you.

Sight: couldn't look at my fish tank.
smell: as said above, lose taste too.
taste: almost said this because then I could eat only healthy food and it would be ok, but the thought of never enjoying a pizza or a big fatty hamburger and french fries, well no thanks.
touch: I have my reasons.
Hearing: I work around very large aircraft so its starting to go anyway.

I've wondered about this. Do you notice that humans will look at something or someone when they really want to hear what is going on?
Have you ever been driving a vehicle, hear something on the radio that really interested/shocked you, and you notice yourself look at the radio like it would help you to hear it? Have you ever noticed that if you are bored with a conversation you tend to glance around a lot, but if you are very interested in a conversation you stare intently at the person you are talking with?
But blind people have a reputation for being able to "hear" better than people that can see. Isn't that contradictory?
So if lack of sight, even though we act like it enhances hearing, actually tends to make people utilize hearing to a higher accuracy, would not lack of smell remove a crutch in some manner and enhance a person's ability to taste?
After all smell and taste are not listed as the same sense. So it would not make logical sense that the loss of one would diminish the other.
How many people pop one of their eardrums and immediately lose the ability to see in one eye?
I love music and "look" both ways with my ears, I'm less likely to miss something with my hearing than if I looked anyway. I'd give up two senses befor giveing up hearing. Granted sight would be the most difficult to adjust to, but I'd miss hearing things more.
Pink Floyd and Creedence Clearwater are too good to lose hearing
Driving is too orgasmic to lose sight
Wouldn't want to lose touch for the same reason as sight
I love to look, but I could live without taste, ONLY if I couldn't smell as well. Smelling amazing food and not being able to taste it would be horrible.
I vote smell. No napalm in the morning for me.
