Deafness was a medical condition causing an impairment to hearing, from mild to total loss of the auditory sense.
History and specifics[]
Deafness was one of a number of handicaps that randomly afflicted Grey Orions, due to their genetic mutilation. (FASA RPG - The Orions module: Book of Deep Knowledge)
The Ramatin ruling line of Ramatis III, such as Ambassador Riva, suffered from hereditary deafness. (TNG episode: "Loud as a Whisper")
