I'm half deaf. I have nerve damage and a constant ringing in both of my ears, and there are certain times and conditions when I can hardly hear at all.

The truth will always fall on deaf ears!

It's all fallen on deaf ears.

If you want to connect with people who are in distress and great grief and scared, you need to do it in a certain way. I move kind of slow. I talk kind of slow. I let them know that I respect them.

Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

I think the plea is falling on deaf ears.
