I don't like hearing nothing..
Believe me, I would rather hear all of the noises that annoy me all at once then to not be able to hear at all! I have a disorder where one of the canals in my ears colapse if put under too much pressure. Think about that feeling when you have to pop your ears when changing elevation but not being able to no matter what you do. It makes me go completely deaf if it gets bad enough. I can't see very well, so I rely on my ears to navigate for me most of the time. I'd be completely lost without my hearing, and when I do go deaf (On airplanes mostly) I panic! It scares me to the point of crying even though I know it is temporary...I couldn't immagine being without my hearing forever!
I think a lot of people would be suprised at how much loosing ones hearing would affect them.
