If you can't see, you are blind. If you can't speak, you are a mute. If you can't hear, you are deaf. What do you call someone who cannot smell? I am sure it has a name. I thought perhaps senseless? This is not a joke or a riddle. I want a real answer to this question. Only serious answers please.

My guess is that this person would learn to experience life without vision at all, and thus would dream sounds, tactile sensations, etc. but would see very few visions in their dreams at all beyond those they would see during the course of a day (most blind people are not 100% sightless).

Deaf-mute was a term historically used by hearing people to identify a person who was deaf and could not speak. This term first appears in the Code of Hammurabi, an ancient set of laws from the near east, in 1700 BCE. [1] It is also referenced in ancient Greek writing of the 7th century BCE. It continues to be used to refer to deaf people, mainly within a historical context, to indicate deaf people who cannot speak, or have some degree of speaking ability, but choose not to speak because of the negative or unwanted attention atypical voices sometimes attract.\n\nAdditionally, it is sometimes used to refer to other hearing people in jest, to chide, or to invoke an image of someone who refuses to employ common sense or who is unreliable. "Deaf and dumb," "semi-deaf" and "semi-mute" are other historic references to deaf people. Of these latter examples, only "deaf and dumb" prevails as a reference.\n\nThere are connotations of insensitivity to deaf people concerning these terms of reference and for this reason the prevailing terms are generally looked upon as insulting, inaccurate or socially and politically incorrect. From antiquity (as noted in the Code of Hammurabi) until recent (and less enlightened) times [2], the terms "deaf-mute" and "deaf and dumb" were even considered analogous to "idiot" by some hearing people.\n\nIn Europe and western society, most deaf people are taught to speak with varying outcomes of ability or degrees of fluency. The simple identity of "deaf" has been embraced by the community of signing deaf people since the foundations of public deaf education in the 18th century and remains the preferred term of reference or identity today.

HMMMM: taste and smell corelate as roughly 80% of taste is scent...but I'd rather loose those than hearing, sight or touch.\n\nI can live without tasting: I may loose a pound or so if not everything taste great\n\nI can live without smelling: not all things with odor are pleasant\n\nI can't live without touching, seeing and hearing my kids...\n\nK

Yes, I know what you mean.  I don't think everyone is capable of smelling death, but I am.  It happened when my aunt was very sick many years ago.  I could smell death on her for a couple of days before it happened.  It happened again recently when my sister was sick in the hospital.  I don't tell anyone, but they always wonder why I don't like to visit people who are in the hospital and close to death.

Sight, of course. Without your sight you wouldn't be able to get around yourself or see your children as they grow.\n\nMy grandparents are deaf and they get along just fine. They live exactly as I do without having any problems.\n\nLoosing my sense of touch would be very strange, but most likely manageable. I've never actually heard of anyone loosing this sense.\n\nTaste and smell are the same to me. I could easily go without them. I don't particularly like to eat that much and I foresee that as being the biggest problem that would come of losing these two senses.\n\nSo, yes, I pick sight. :o)

Sometimes theres no gentle way to do it.  Tell him he smells and its very unpleasant for everyone around him.  he probably cant smell it any more.

as long as you don't make any noise. We all do that once in a while but knowing we all do that and actually being there and acknowledge someone did that in public are 2 completey difference experiences. I'm someone standing next to you farts, AND makes noise, how would you react? I know whoever did that didn't mean it and that person must be very embarrassing but I also think it's only natural that people would look at the one who did it with "unfriendly" eyes

have you had any head trauma? I was in a severe car accident and I lost my sense of smell completly, i couldn't even smell nail polish, it has dramitacally improved over the years though. Some have a sense of smell that isn't a receptive to others.  If you are really worried, ask a doctor, they may be able to do some tests.

Ugh. Sweaty armpit. When you walk by a person, you can't smell their nasty feet with shoes on.  But when you walk by someone with B.O., you can't help but notice it! Especially when you're in an inclosed room! OMG! x0P

thats interesting ..i never thought about that before ...can a blind person dream of something that they have never seen ? i think maybe they would dream more of the things they experinced while not being able to see ...since the theory is , when u lose one sense another one gets stronger .(.touch , smell , and taste ...)

I guess I'd say smell just because with the other ones you could live pretty normal. Without your sight it would be really hard to get used to it and live,without your hearing you would have to use sign language and that would be a pain because you have to talk a lot,usually.I still think tasting and touching would also be better because you have to eat,but I mean smelling also has an effect on your taste.Also touching I qould want more becuase you wouldn't feel pain or know when too much hurt is too much.

No, it has been my experience that people will not tell you that you smell.  They find it akward, so they will dicuss it behind your back instead.  Best way to fight that...shower all the time and always smell fresh.  Only a real friend will tell you that you have BO!

Becoming deaf and blind is a fearful concept to me. Loosing both of those senses would be very difficult to overcome.
