If you could only keep only one of your five senses?

Question

If you could only keep one of your five senses. Which would it be? Why?

Answer 1

Hearing...I would die without music....

Answer 2

Hearing.  I would still be able to speak, could hear people around me so I could maneuver through everyday tasks (although I would get a slave to help me out so I don't bump into tables).  I don't think I could live without hearing music.  I could listen to books on tape and learn something, and well, hearing is my favorite sense.  Good question.

Answer 3

hearing, because i just cant stand not hearing a good sonata or symphony by beethoven or mozart, also it makes it much easier to communicate if you can hear, also i have the blissful hope of developing some sort of bat sonar which i can use to "see" lol

Answer 4

Tough question because they all have their value.  I think I would keep sight.  I can already communicate some in sign language and we have such a visual world.  I could learn to eat without tasting food or smelling it.  Losing touch would be hard because of not being able to feel the touch of family and friend or being able to feel heat, cold, etc to protect ones self.  Also, hearing would be rough, but...we have so many things that rely on sight in this day and age..and we communicate with text, with computers, with closed captioning on movies, etc....so without sight I think it would be the biggest loss.

Answer 5

sight. i wouldnt be able to see without it :)

Answer 6

I would want my sight.  

I can still read, so I won't need my hearing.

I can see were I'm going or what I'm touching.

I can see what food I'm eating, so I won't need taste or smell.

I can still drive a car, go outside, see a movie with subtitles.  I will be able to see.

Answer 7

Sight for sure!

Answer 8

it would be sight.

i can't stand not seeing wath i want to.

sound, that's easy to forget , why you ask ? well i can read lips and have a machine talk for me just like steven hawkins.

if i didn't kept sight. i would suicide right at the instant i lose sight.

Answer 9

I'm sorry, but it would be my eyesight.  Not being to hear music would be a drag, not being able to taste food is ok because I don't eat much. Not being able to smell is ok cause a lot of things smell bad anyway LOL and lastly, the sense of touch is not that big of a deal either.  Being able to see is what I value the most and would go crazy without it. I don't know.... It's just me.
