Lilred doesn't know about being blind,but I lost hearing in one ear when I was 17, the other is headed that way.IT SUUCKS! I would not want to be blind, but a constant ringing is what happens in my left ear and sometimes my right.Its hard to understand folks unless your looking at them,in restraunts it really blws as all the sounds blend together.
As bad as its been,I could not imagine not being able to see.My grandaughter, oh she is si precious,I would not pick either and crossing my fingers one day technology will be able to fix my hearing.It really blows.
