Do you find yourself using aural cues more than visual ones?

It depends on the person and the situation. Hairstyles, clothes, things like piercings or really unusual facial features (I can recognize Stephen Fry because he has that really weird nose, for instance), and context like where I see them ("Mary has long blonde hair, and she works with me") are usually what I go by. Of course, since any of those can be easily changed, they're far from infallible. I am generally more visually oriented, but I supplement it by going by people's voices, too.The way I actually function on a day to day basis isn't that much different from what I figure everybody has to deal with. He's got a point there. It's kind of hard to put into words how it ends up being different, because the way to compensate for it is to do what everybody else has to do to a degree anyway. I guess it's just a difference of degree, and the extent of that differences is pretty fucking variable.
