Why do they say hearing is the last thing to go when you are dying?

Your eyesight goes as soon as you lose the strength to keep your eyelids open. Your sense of touch diminishes as your blood pressure drops and blood is reserved for the brain and heart. Your sense of smell and taste probably stay, but what use are they for communicating? Since your ears are close to your brain, they will have a decent blood supply as long as your brain has blood. And it takes no physical strength to operate the ears. If you have ever fainted, you know this first-hand; the last things and first things you will remember before and after fainting will most likely be sounds. -DJ Craig
