If I was hearing impaired I think I'd ignore audiobooks altogether. I'd stick with the written word in ebooks/pbooks which would also be a lot cheaper.
Mind you I'm also someone who can't see the point of buying the same book in both ebook and audiobook format for 'immersive reading' (or whatever it's called) when every text-to-speech app I've ever used perfectly synchronises voice and words on the page using highlighting and auto page-turning.
Perhaps I'm just not the target market for this stuff.
