This has been suggested many times, and will continue to be suggested by many people. As far as I recall, the dev stance on this was negative, so I doubt we'll see it added. Primarily the biggest hindrance using this trait is that it prevents communication on actually communicative jobs (such as Security), and it was often brought up that you can just "use the PDA instead", but PDA messaging is so barebones and overlooked that it basically just means "take this trait if you want zero departmental interaction on radio".
The only thing that truly bugs me is that it's an enforced mechanical blindness. I think it'd be much better and immersive for the game for you to be able to replace your eyes and ears or something at a roboticist, since they're bleeding for more stuff to do that'd help as well. I realize that may cause some powergamers to do so at roundstart, but that behavior can get ahelped.
