If there are issues with liabilities, insurance, etc., then the player/competitor could sign some form of paper indicating she/he is entering the competiton at her/his risk and will not hold anyone respondsible...simply can be done--
Another point, as I'm Hoh and have participated in many sports in my time and not once did I feel the need to take it off except during water sports...although, I do sympathize with Lnanaa's plight and perils with the regulations that is in writing...perhaps it IS a discrimination to her and any other Hoh or CI user since they (the committee/regulators) may not want to be consider or construed as an 'almost hearing' professional competition...but, the point is this, a player/competitor who has a hearing-aid or CI is legally considered 'deaf', turning off the CI, turning or taking off the hearing-aid, a person is 'deaf', allowing them to benefit from using such devices...hence, a golfer can choose to use his feet and walk the golf course or benefit from using a golf-cart to get around on the golf course...it's pretty much almost the same general concept or idea...I believe that it's possible that the governing body/committee feels threaten...or simply it's a major discrimination against great golfers such as Lnanaa and other professional competitors...who purposefully wants to compete in the professional field with others.
