In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn Baaz
Kitaab Majmoo' Fataawa wa Maqaalaat Mutanawwi'ah li Samaahat vol. 9, p. 336
Are those who are deaf and mute accountable, and do they have to do the obligatory duties prescribed in sharee'ah?
Praise be to Allâh.
Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez ibn 'Abd-Allâh ibn Baaz explained that the child who is deaf and mute, when he reaches the age of puberty, is considered to be accountable and expected to fulfil the obligations of prayer, etc. He added that he may be taught what he needs to know by means of writing or signing, because of the general meaning of the shar'i evidence which indicates that these obligations apply to everyone who reaches the age of puberty and is of sound mind. Puberty is reached at the age of fifteen, or when maniy (discharge) is emitted as a result of feeling desire in a dream ("wet dream") or otherwise, and when coarse hair grows around the private parts. In the case of women, there is a fourth sign of puberty, which is the onset of menstrual periods.
The shaykh called upon the guardian of the one who is deaf or mute to pay zakaah and fulfil other financial obligations on his behalf. He also has to teach him what he does not know by all possible means so that he will understand what Allâh requires of him and what Allâh has forbidden for him.
The shaykh quoted as evidence the words of Allâh (interpretation of the meaning):
"So keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him as much as you can" [al-Taghaabun 64:16]
And the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allâh be upon him): "If I command you to do a thing, then do as much of it as you can."
And the shaykh explained that the accountable person who cannot hear or speak, or who becomes unable to hear or speak, should fear Allâh and keep his duty towards Him as much as he can by doing that which is enjoined upon him and abstaining from that which is haraam. He should try to learn as much of the religion as possible, by watching, writing and signing, so that he may understand what is required.

sis, it seems you have acted exactly the same as one of the Sahabas , i can't remember his name, but he was Allah-fearing very much, so he cried a lot, but later he got blind, Allah took his sight, and he was a very pious muslim that Allah would accept all his dua's, and some sahabas asked him "why don't you make dua so Allah can bring back your sight", he said "wallahi the kadar of Allah swt is more loved to me then the sight"...
inshaAllah when i find the exact story, i'll post it.

Yes, I use wear hearing aids for learning Quranic reciters or nasheeds music, etc whenever I need to hear something I like to!
I feel being deaf are bit of struggled when I am little girl...but I've took my time to realised that Allah Ta'ala who created it for me..I don't bothered about it now..Alhumdilillah!
Between deaf and hearing is bit of different because deaf people cannot hear anything but only silence! Hearing people who can hear almost anything!
