This baffles me

Answer 1

Short version – all input processing is done in your brain. What you “see” with your eyes is actually happening in your brain. With or without your eyes, all the necessary processing ability exists to generate visualizations. Ergo, you don’t need eyes to “see” or ears to “hear”. It’s like having a computer without a monitor, except you’re the computer.
