About Visual Sounds Effects

Thanks for the answer.
It is true that some people with hearing loss play with sound.
But I feel that visual audio effects are too effective for a game like APEX.
It seems to me that the only way to bridge the gap between the deaf and the hearing impaired is to turn off the sound effects.
I wonder what would be the best way...
@Masuder_T I think fortnite have this well covered as I can and do (at times) play that game effectively with the sound down.
I have the visual effects on all the time too, with sound, so it's a combination that works well for me.
In fairness, I do not think you can have an option available to use in game that is not available to everyone. The option is available to all in fortnite.
The idea has been brought up a number of times before, and the poster had a very well worked out idea.
Unfortunatly, there are also problems with the in game sounds, such as inaudible footsteps from behind. Ive been blown away by a Gibby creeping up silently behind me more than once 😃
How that would translate into a visualisation, I don't know.
It's not just silently. I'd be fine with the visualizer not showing someone crouch walking up behind me. What ticks me off is someone jumping down from 20 feet and landing behind me without a sound! And it's not just my deafness, normal hearing player complain about this.
I play a lot of fortnite zero build these days seeing as how the state of Apex is, well.....
Fortnites visual sound indicators are excellent. Why Respawn hasn't at least tried to implement this considering their sound for this game has been broken/lacking for almost 18 seasons now is madness. That alone tells you so much right there.
Fortnite's sound is fine without the visual aids. But having the option for the hearing impaired and just to help out more is great and appreciated.
Do better rEAspawn!
