I would also take blindness. If you are blind, you loose your connections to objects, however if you are deaf, you loose your connections to people. I would rather be able to talk and communicate than see.
I think people automatically answer that they would rather be deaf without really thinking about the implications.

When you are deaf, you can still use sign language, body language and writing (and even speech, unless the question assumes that you are deaf from birth), while leading an otherwise quite normal life, whereas being blind means that you pretty much lose the ability to work, read (braille
), ever travel by yourself, et cetera; you're basically dependant on other people for the rest of your life.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
