Suggestion: gone deaf emote

Perhaps an option inside the Menu within a run? Where you can highlight yourself and select an option that brings up a transparent deaf icon above your head. This way other players will have a visual cue that something is amiss with your audio.

Can also be expanded to other uses, including showing other things (excited, ready to go, on timer/not a lot of time/hurry up, etc), as well as in uses in the lobby as well. All without needing to add further animations to do so.

Why would I care that one of my decoys has lost its audio?

I have also missed extraction due to being "deaf", for example.

If you have open mic you will be muted by everyone already in the lobby screen, so you can speak all you want

doesn't happen to me often but i still have that issue once a day usually. also very often the time kandros just stops talking, so i have to pay close attention to spawned objectives, people being downed, extraction, etc.

We need a krogan to appear in the bottom right of the screen and sign whats happening around you due to you losing this important sense
