My hearing is really good, sometimes too good. Whar do you think about the sense of smell. It too, can bring a flood of thoughts. I used to take different things for the kids to smell, then write a journal about what it made them think about. Fun.
As someone who has very poor vision, albeit correctable , I feel it has helped me develop my other senses, especially my hearing. I think I would rather be blind than deaf if I had a choice and had to pick one.

Smells really do evoke emotional responses and memories, don't they?

Yes, somehow it seems like being deaf, especially all of a sudden, would feel lonelier. But I'm sure either would be difficult to adjust to.
