When you can't hear very well, you are...

Hangman Game Feedback

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

Instead of "Deaf as a post", in Spanish we say "sordo como una tapia"
