Explain how vision is affected by the loss of one eye. Explain how hearing is affected by the loss of one ear. In reality, how disadvantaged are people who are blind in one eye or deaf in one ear? Would loss of half the tongue or half the olfactory epithelium have any comparable effects on those systems? Explain.

Binocular vision provides for accurate depth perception. In people who have lost vision in one eye, their prior experiences with relative sizes of familiar near and distant objects allows them to compensate for this loss and function relatively normally. Binaural hearing provides for accurate sound localization. People who have lost hearing in one ear are poorer at sound localization, but can cope well based on past experiences. Comparable losses of sensory tissues for taste or smell would have far less impact on those sensations because there is no similar central comparison of inputs from the two sides.
