Hearing. I'm best equipped to deal with that, although I would dearly miss some sounds.

Wench says,

Hearing as well. Although I love music and the sound of my little boy's voice, I think it would be harder not to see his face. Also, my mom is a Sign Language interpreter and my sister is fairly well-versed as well, so I feel like the transition would be easier than with another loss.

Taste. Food isn't all that interesting to me anyway.

Dragonflower says,

I think taste too. I think it is already happening...

canadafreeze says,

I wouldn't know how much I'd miss something until I didn't have it ...

SingerSomewhere says,

Smell. There are some smells I'd miss, but not as much as the other senses.

ShellDeFelice says,

Really H? You are telekinetic? This gets better all the time!

RaisedByWolves says,

Give up common sense. Most people do just fine without it.

Bevvie says,

Give up nonsense.

Ditto that Bevvie

Level1 says,

My sense of smell has already diminished because of my allergies. So when I really can smell something wonderful, it is deeply satisfying.

longing

lillybrook says,

I might give up sense-ibility... oh, wait, I probably already have! No, actually, smell would be the worst to give up because so much of taste is connected to smell so it's like giving up 2. No one has said touch -- that's a surprise to me.
