If people here actually lived without hearing for a couple of months they'd wish they chose to lose their penis.

It's literally.

Penis

Can't orgasm anymore.
Can't have more biological children. (can still adopt or use a sperm donor).

Hearing

Difficulty communicating with others,
No music
Can watch movies/tv with subtitles, no sfx/music.
Issues playing many games (especially online competitive).
Greatly reduced employment options.
More isolated from the outside world, one less connection.
No singing/playing instruments.
Many party games you cannot play.
life-threatening in certain situations. Unable to hear alarms or instructions, confusion in dangerous situations.
If you have children, or are going to adopt children, you will never hear their voice or laughter again, or ever. Just as you will never hear the voice of anyone you love again.

You use hearing 24/7, for everything. Not just for entertainment but as a connection to everything around you. The feeling of helplessness and isolation from losing it would be great, everyone choosing their penis over hearing would quickly learn to regret that decision.

And that's not entirely true
