If that's the case, it's still a no-brainer to pick deaf - a zero-effort upgrade of combat efficacy while making them non-communicative to everyone around them, which is a net negative for everyone else playing. I'm not a huge fan of a completely silent valid-hunting machine or completely silent antagonist.
This means that the vampire screech that should knock them down close range would not, per testing on a local server. Same with flashbangs. It does do some slight disorient, but actually applied more to me throwing it than it did them.
