People blessed with sight and hearing sometimes play the “sense game,” wondering which sense would be the worse to lose. It’s a silly diversion with impossible answers. It’s as difficult to imagine being unable to see the sky or a child’s face as it is to imagine being unable to hear a violin playing or a daughter’s sparkling laughter. And since all of our senses are so precious a gift, it is that much harder for people to understand how the loss of a portion of this bounty could happen so gradually as to go unnoticed.
