One of your senses is now ten times more effective...

which would have the worst effect and which would be quite useful?

My sense of smell is usually non-existent so having an enhanced sense of smell would be too overwhelming! Better eyesight would be great for me as I'm blind as a bat 😂

My sense of smell is quite effective already annoyingly sometimes. I always seem to pick up on smells more than others. 😅

I think touch would probably be the worst if it meant you felt more pain.

And hearing would be the most helpful because I sometimes struggle there (probably because I blast my music so loud in my headphones).

Well after almost 42 years to the day of wearing NHS hearing aids, I'd definitely want hearing.

That sounds like a good idea @SheffieldMan1976! Which sense would be the worst for you?

I didn't think about pain and touch @Holly_Scope. Let's say it doesn't cause pain, it just makes you able to feel more, if that makes sense 😂

Probably sight, well up to just over 7 years ago I had hereditary cataracts in my eyes, then I had an op on the 8th of April 2019 to have one in my left eye removed.

As for the hearing, about 3 years ago, following a ton of research on Google, I booked an appointment up at the Hospital to discuss getting a Cochlear Implant (like Fury on Gladiators), they eventually turned round and said I'd function better with 2 hearing aids!

False! I've had a ton of problems ever since.

I think being able to taste better would be so much fun! Imagine your favourite foods tasting x10 better🤩

I've got quite good hearing so i don't think I woujld like that to be more effective as I think it would be really overwhelming to be able to hear everything everywhere I went!
