not sure about touch and brachot, nor about taste/smell/hearing
No blessings associated with touch — I need this clarified further. Aren't we to hold food in the right hand when we bless? Does "le-haniach tefillin" not count? "al netilat yadaim"? Are the brachot on food even dependent on having a sense of taste? Does the body benefit from a good smell? (I had heard it was just the soul)? Does a person need to hear the good news to make a bracha on it? Sight's the only one I don't doubt. (I ask these questions not knowing their answers. )
