I've thought that one over before, DF, and as much as I simply ADORE music, and hearing people laugh, etc., I just feel like you can do more if you can still see. You can drive, you can type, you can read, you can see sunsets and mountains. So, as hard as it is to say, I'd rather lose my hearing.
Cupcake or muffin?
Edited: Aw, I was too late. But I'm leaving my answer up.
I think I'd go with french fries. They gotta be done right. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
