Hello Stephen!
Sorry, to contradict you in general. :-) But I simply have to. I met a
few other blind people over the years and I found, that a good deal of
them, can't hear any better than sighted people. Including disco damage
and all that. I grant you, they are worse off, than those who do take
care of their ears and train them.
My hearing is OK, but not fabulous. I met loads of sighted people, who
have a better sense of hearing.
OK, remembering someone by voice is an essential thing. Otherwise
you're simply marked as forgetful and you will have problems. :-)
Everyone's brain begins is different in its balance between visual and
audio processing (although I supposed someone blind from birth would
grow up as a very strong audio processor simply because the visual
processing side wouldn't develop as much.
I'm a very visual processor who plays very well by ear (started playing
by ear at age 2). Go figure!
