Title:
When you can't hear very well, you are...
Answer:
Deaf as a post
 
Equivalents:
1. Stone deaf
 
Explanation:
'Post' in this usage means a strong piece of wood or metal in the ground, usually used to create a fence or to hold up a sign. Posts are very thick and dense (and are obviously inanimate), so I guess that's where the saying comes from - they can't hear at all
