Regarding the deaf vs. blind thing, I think I'd rather go blind than deaf. I think being deaf would make me feel more isolated than being blind. I would hate for music to no longer be able to lull me to sleep. I would hate to miss seeing what my daughter looks like as she grows older, but I think I'd miss being able to talk to her more.
Also, I've never seen anything so beautiful that sends chills down my back, but numerous times it has happened with music.
I think one of the best things of modern society is that you can hear music whenever you want. Imagine living before electricity. Yikes.
