Can deaf fly under sports pilot rule?

For the most part they were average unless you factor in the additional
work it took for them to pass their flight checks and the hassles they
did for the medicals. It took some extra effort on my part in learning
to adapt their physical problems to the physical acts of control
manipulations, etc. It was a challenge and ended up being educational
for me as well as fun, and frustrating, and satisfying, and gratifying,
etc.
