Add an option for deaf players to "visualize sounds" - accessibility

There should be an option in the settings to turn on a "deaf mode" so people who are deaf could make the most of the game. I suggest a way to "visualize the sound" through some sort of icon on the sc...

@Schaapje1987 thanks for sharing your point, but it doesn't make much sense. We DO already know the direction of the sounds only by hearing them, so having it also present visually wouldn't add any information to what we already have but only help those who lack hearing sense.

@NandoRos2077 Understandable but in a high-intensive gun fight, some sounds get blocked out from all the shooting and focus. The one thing that does get seen is visuals, in that case it would be visual cues. No need for a hunter either, too.

    That’s a * thing to say tbh. It would be just like fortnite. It doesn’t give anyone an advantage whatsoever. I think it’s a great idea

    @Schaapje1987 Then deaf mode should also mute the whole game if deaf mode is enabled.

      @op 

      There is something called sonic radar that Asus provides as a download.

      I'm not sure if it is allowed so you should check with respawn first.  

      I was first on the mindset that it is a cheat.

      But now I think anyone with a good headset will outplay it, but it does what you are asking for, it visualizes sound into a visual radar overlay.

      I did not read the rest of this thread so apologies if it was mentioned already.
