“Given the choice between having to live the rest of my life without my voice, or living the rest of my life without the ability to hear, I would choose…”
Having read a few answers already, I have to say both options provide pros and cons. Not an easy choice!
However, I’d have to pick having to live the rest of my life without my voice. I’m someone who gets my foot in my mouth a lot, so I think that would benefit me greatly. Also, I really don’t think I could go the rest of my life not being able to watch my favourite movies or shows, listening to Josh Groban when I have a bath, hearing my boyfriend say “I love you”, or being able to hear my friends. I mean, I’d still be able to communicate with people – I’d still have a blog, and I’ve always loved white boards, so I could make use of those.
If I couldn’t hear anything around me, I probably would feel really lonely. Even if I couldn’t tell someone how I’m feeling verbally, at least I could still listen and hear how they’re feeling. Sometimes I need to learn to shut up, so having no voice would probably make me more attune to the people around me.

interesting response. You’re probably become the world’s best listener!
Same here… I need that noise which I’m always complaining about
Yeah, me too, if I didn’t I think I’d go insane from the quiet!
Why did I picture you with your foot in your mouth? You do have a way with words but I agreed with you. As you know I want to keep my hearing if given the awful task of choosing.
Sometimes I just get verbal vomit and I say the worst thing possible, so this would probably save me some future grief
CC , I always enjoy reading your blogs keep them coming
and agree I would let my voice go too.
Thanks! I didn’t realized you read my blog
I would say that we should all remain hearing and speaking, it’s a torture to live a life without being able to do something, but given the choice, I’d let go the voice too!
