    Just because there is magic doesn’t mean everyone can afford it.

    Also interesting to think about, if a deaf person has a magic amulet that grants different hearing, are they no longer a deaf person or are they a deaf person with a magical aid?

      are they a deaf person with a magical aid?

      I think they’d still identify as deaf for community purposes.

        I think they would do the exact opposite for community purposes. In a medieval fantasy world they might be the only deaf person in their small town, so they don’t wanna be ostrasized for being different and weird.

      That’s basically hearing aids or cochlear implants and the thing is sound is uncomfortable if you’re used to not sound.

      Are they naturally deaf or just hard of hearing? A deaf person would get a zero to sound checks no matter what.
