Ferrets are more pure beings who live on a higher level.

Large ferret groups are very accepting of any ferret, no matter if deaf or hearing.

Some ferrets may become hoh due to presbycusis. I am certain they maintain their membership and ferret ranking, and the other ferrets just gesture more broadly until they acclimate.
