It would almost certainly be a community with very few if not zero active posters, and there's already a few relevant communities on .world, and nothing's stopping people from posting d/Deaf or HoH-related content on other communities... But even keeping all that in mind, I still think having a /c/deaf would be nice anyways.
The community could also be called /c/dhoh or something else entirely, it depends on what people prefer.
I'm not sure what I'd post on there but i just had my first hearing test in which i am technically hard of hearing (and in no way claiming to be deaf or disabled by it) and i have had tinnitus since childhood so you have one potential poster
Hell yeah brother
I've had bouts of hearing loss for a while now along with tinnitus and would be interested in this as well.
