    From what I understand Cactbot should do the job to put alerts on your screen for things.

    All of the alerts are more visual than audial anyway. The sounds are often so repeated that the same sound can be used for radically different things and a deaf player might actually have an advantage of not being distracted by deceptive noises.

    I believe you should be okay. I can't think of a single mechanics that really has audio as its single, only cue. There's the audio-visual spectrum in the accessibility options if that can help.

    All mechanics are visual.
    I play with sound at minimum and background music just fine

    If you can, try to memorise/look for queues from the boss. Alot of the time bosses say something in green text or a text bubble over their head before they cast an ability. Best example is Trial 87 EX. She has alot of queues that show in green text/chat bubble above her head and in game of what shes about to do. Not alot of Raids/Dungeons have stuff like that but it helps sometimes when they do have it!
