How does one sense not work and then another just becomes better

Like is it true like blind people have better hearing and deaf people have better sight or something
if so how does it woooork
much question very curious

 

Those senses don't "become better" when others are lost. It's just that when you have to rely on one sense more than a regular person would, you get better at using it. Blind people don't have better hearing, they just know how to use their hearing more effectively. Deaf people don't have better eyesight, they're just better at using their eyes to compensate for what their ears should be doing (more finely tuned peripheral vision, for instance).[DOUBLEPOST=1402368651][/DOUBLEPOST]

Seriously, though, send me your dogecoin address and I'll give you some free doge. I'm always happy to see a fellow shibe.

 

I read that as, "how does one sensei not work and then another just becomes better", and I thought to myself, "Ah, the free market at work."

 

i think radioactive waste factors in somewhere. idk.

 

Also keep in mind that with neural plasticity the parts of your brain used to process the sense you no longer have can be partially re-purposed. Though that part isn't as significant and takes a LONG time.

 

It's Magic!
