Blindness cuts us off from things, but deafness cuts us off from people ( or so it has been quoted).

Helen Keller was often asked which was worse. In her advancing years replied that she had concluded "after a lifetime in silence and darkness that to be deaf is a greater affliction than to be blind...Hearing is the soul of knowledge and information of a high order. To be cut off from hearing is to be isolated indeed."

Not really. Sign language/writing notes. When you're deaf you can still watch movies, play sports, drive, watch your kids grow etc. It's not even a tough decision for me if I had to choose.

Well you probably don't want to read this. I didn't make it past the OP.

It does make me wonder, would it be better to have never had sight vs losing it for whatever reason?

id much rather go deaf than be blind.

The no arms/no legs or blindness is kind of a tossup tho.
