Of all your five senses, which one is your weakest?

Okay, a brief and UNSCIENTIFIC survey:
Of all your five senses, which one is your weakest?
1. Hearing;
2. Sight;
3. Smell;
4. Taste;
5. Touch;
6. What about my sixth sense?
7. I am a ghost and I have limited or no active senses to interact with the real world.

(Note: Isn't it odd that hearing as a noun to describe this particular sense has the -ing suffix where the others need not...?)

@tsarstepan,
The only logical answer to this is to decide which one you could possibly do without, and that must be smell (with some effect on taste).

@tsarstepan,
My word memory. At age 82, after being in severe pain for four years before my knee surgery, I've discovered that my ability to find the word I'm trying to say is improved some what after my surgery. Now that I'm able to do more physician things I sense some improvement. Exercise is a wonderful thing and I hope I can be a blather mouth again. I've noticed that my spelling correctness is getting less accurate. When I look at some of the writing that I wrote up to about five years ago, I wonder why I don't write as well as I once did. Is it just my age or was it the severe pain I had for so long. I forget. Wink Confused

@tsarstepan,
1. Hearing: moderately effected (or affected?) by tinnitus.
2. Sight: my vision is notably getting worse with age.
3. Smell: never had a keen sense of smell.
4. Taste: fine enough though I'd never try to convince others I can detect suble notes and hints of flavors in gourmet coffee or fine wines.

I will inanely state hearing for my answer.

My vision is terrible. Without my glasses, I see nothing but a blur.

My taste was affected by radiation. Not sharp, but I still know good when I taste it.

My hearing was once acute. Now it's not.

If I had to pick, I'd say vision. Helpless.

@Roberta,
some days my eyes are bad. some days worse than that.

I would trade for losing taste if I could, as I can't eat anything that tastes good anyway...

I'm myopic - my eyes are -600 (as in what a person with 20/2o vision can stand 600 feet away and see clearly, I have to stand 20 feet away to see it as clearly.
If I didn't have glasses I'd be disabled. Even with glasses - my night vision is pretty bad - last night I was coming down a hill at dusk and I had to really concentrate to keep from falling and breaking my ankle.

But they've been that way since I was seven - no better no worse - I'm used to it and just happy I live in a time when they can be corrected to 20/20 without alot of fuss.

My other senses are very acute - hearing, smell, taste, touch.

My sight is my weakest and the one I would most hate to lose. I'm an extremely visual person.

At 51, I can definitely tell that all of my senses have become weaker with age, however, I cannot say that any particular sense has become noticeably weaker than another.
I would say that I am generally more aware of the weakening of my vision, because I rely so heavily upon sight.
