I had a deaf character in one game. I made sure the DM knew that nothing short of a regeneration spell would heal the damage she had taken to [her] eardrums that caused her to be deaf (backstory). Even though the party tried (against her wishes twice) to restore her hearing I said “no effect” to the spells and thankfully the DM backed me up. She was still deaf, and she got pissed at them for doing something to ‘help’ her that she hadn’t asked for or even wanted.
