===== Hard of Hearing (Minor or Major) ===== Characters who have lost some or all of their hearing have this disadvantage. As a Minor Hindrance, it subtracts 4 from all Notice rolls made to hear, including awaking due to loud noises. A Major Hindrance means the character is deaf. She cannot hear and automatically fails all [[Notice]] rolls that depend on hearing. Hearing aids reduce the penalty by 2, but require batteries and have a 50% chance of falling out when he’s Wounded, falls, or suffers some other trauma.
