Have you ever played professional golf?
You don't become a golfer overnight, it take years of practicing to get involved with tournaments. Golf is not a rough sport, and people should be allowed to have hearing aids or cochlear implants on them during golfing. People does rely on their remaining senses to play golf, as explained in the complaint. If you take these away from them, they'll feel disoriented because they're not accustomed to playing in these conditions.
It's hard to imagine how a hearing aid or cochlear implant would get damaged while playing golf.
