<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">refusing to listen</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for deaf that I've seen before include "Aurally challenged" , "Unable to hear" , "Hard of hearing" , "Deprived of the sense of hearing" , "Refusing to hear (entreaty)" .)
