Becoming deaf is actually one of my greatest fears in life. I could imagine myself not smelling anything, not seeing anything, but I couldn't imagine myself in a totally silent world. I think I'd go crazy.
I know it could appear as contradictory to the fact that I never wear earplug on concerts, for instance - though I might begin to do it, as I realized it doesn't alter the sound quality as much as I thought it did -, but I try to be careful about it - I never listen to music too loud for instance, especially when I'm on headphones.
Seriously.
