Two ears.... acoustics. A blind or just blind-folded person can still sense depth and range from the sounds his two ears pick up. Try it, it's fun.

Ooh, I like Shari's answer. It is really well put. That is kind of what it is like alright. Maybe we humans do have a little 6th sense in us.

damn that is a good question...\n\nfirst idea was touch... it is hugely important... also if you didn't have it you could injure yourself without knowing...\n\nthen i thought taste... because you could eat something bad and die from food poisoning.. \n\nsight you can work around, so thats not as bad not to have\nsame with hearing\n\nand do you believe i can't remember the fifth sense! LOL

Sound is a sense. The tree's fall causes vibrations, but, unless something is around to interpret those vibrations as sound, it is never "heard."

nothing exsits if there is nothing there to see/hear/feel it.  Everything that is reality and what we think is real, is just a representation of what information from our senses, our brain processes them into being.  There is no real reality its just our own reality in our heads that we think is real.

Well... maybe your question is not clear. Live without them yes, because "Avid reader" is right: in western societies we can live without hands and feet, we can live if we are deaf or blind, extremely old or even in a coma.\nBut do they serve no purpose for us? No. If you never use your hands other than to type in your PC, they seem useless or even a burden, but if you do any kind of handy-work, then you notice that "Dan D" and "Zube" have the wrong references. Human nails, though evolved from similar uses as other animals' (as claws), are useful to protect fingers, they are not designed to be used as weapons or hunting devices. We still need them for a lot more than opening Cd's. Without fingernails you would find a lot of people with "fingertip mutilations" shaking your hand. A kind of handicap you seldom see now a days.

Go to the internet under Psychokinesis they have online free tests to take and give you some examples of things to practice to heightened your senses. It's fun, try it.

In addition to the classical 5 senses we can sense temperature, pain and equilibrium (balance).  We also have coutless other senses which work subconsciously to keep us alive (water, sugar, salt balance).

Deaf and blind people aren't tainted by all of these evil, unpleasant, mis-leading things that the rest of the world is bombarded with nearly every second of every day. Imagine how much more clear and unjaded the mind would be without hurtful words or disturbing visuals forced to be processed constantly.\n\nWe all have the ability to find spirituality within ourselves. The answers, and the paths. All societies are just so crudded with s*** that we aren't afforded the chance to do some true soul searching.\n\nThey will probably know "God", or whatever spiritual powers that may be, more than most any seeing or hearing man ever will.

No.  Reality is what we perceive it to be.  Absolutes do not exist.  Without perception, therefore, reality does not exist.  And hence, a tree falling with no one to hear, makes no sound.

Any of the five senses can be damaged by environmental input from the bright light of an industrial welder to the lost of the sense of taste that is a byproduct of working with some industrial chemicals. Heavy metal exposure can damage touch. Loud noises can damage hearing and some chemicals can damage the sense of smell. Find an entry on the given sense in wikipedia or some were and look for problems with or deceases of.

Life because without meaning understanding and communication would be impossible. \n\nUnderstanding because without being able to integrate perceptions into concepts we are unable to plan, to act other than randomly in response to our environment and we would not survive long. \n\nCommunication because without meaning the symbolic representation of what we perceive would be impossible. Without such symbols we would be unable to benefit from cooperating with others and enjoy all the advantages that provides to our lives.

Thats strange. My ex-wife had a bad case of food poisoning but I don't recall her complaining about lack of taste senses. Hopefully you will get your sense back. How can a person eat without tasting their food? Thats terrible.

Sure you can. The sense of smell is controlled by brain synapsis just like the ability to see or hear or really any other function of the body. If there is damage to these synapsis then you can lose this ability.
