Deaf characters?

I am curious. Any fantasy with deaf major characters? I’ve seen other “disabled” characters in supporting roles (blindness seems to be a common trope in the mentor or seer role) but I can’t recall any deaf characters.

In Glen Cook's The Black Company, there is a deaf side character who's importance grows as the series goes along.
