Would be being born blind and deaf be that bad?

During my work-place meanders, I found a leafleat asking for money for some charity. On the front of this leaflet was a pictures of a boy, who was blind and deaf, and it read: "Can you imagine how it must be like to be this boy?"

Obviously they assumed that his life was awful, and that he needed money, and I'm sure if I did donate he'd most likely benefit along with everyone else the charity caters for. But is his life that awful?

We imagine that living without sight or hearing would be awful, and rightly so. But what if you'd never had those senses in the first place? Surely you'd be missing nothing. He wouldn't be sitting at home thinking "Gee, I sure wish I could see" as he wouldn't know what seeing is. Surely he'd be reasonably happy?
