If hearing impaired is considered a class 2 or 2A disability, then yes. I'm not 100% sure but I believe 2 and 2A are both physical disabilities.
DISABLED OR BLIND PERSONS:
In order for disabled or blind persons who are Illinois
residents to fish without a license, the person must
be able to show proof of disability in the form of one
of the following:
1. A State disabled person I.D. card (available
from the Secretary of State through the .. drivers
license examining station) showing ........ a Class 2 or Class 2A disability.
Applies to .............. Illinois residents only.
2. Veterans disability card - (available from the
Illinois Department of Veterans™ Affairs Office)
Veterans who are at least 10% disabled with service-
related disabilities or in receipt of total disability
pensions may fish with sport fishing devices during
those periods of the year it is lawful to do so without
being required to have a license, on the condition
that their respective disabilities do not prevent them
from fishing in a manner which is safe to themselves
and others. Applies to both Illinois residents and
non-residents.
