ESA Getting around safely

Are there reasons why on ESA50 Q8. 'Getting around safely' applies to claimants with visual loss only? My friend, who is deaf, experiences many problems with traffic and crossing roads. She also has some spatial awareness issues which often cause her to step out into oncoming traffic if there is no controlled crossing point on her route. Can she record her 'Getting around safely' issues within that space or will it just be ignored as her vision is not impaired?
Thanks in anticipation for any advice on this.

Thanks for reply, Gordon.
I have since asking seen this article on 'ESA: sensory impairment activities guidance' from Disability Rights UK (2014) which says DMG Memo 7/14 advises that where an ESA claimant has impaired vision and/or hearing, the DM should consider if any of the LCW descriptors in:
Activity 7-Activity 8 apply as both these activities are designed to assess the functional ability of people who have difficulties with sight and/or hearing due to sensory impairment
apply as both these activities are designed to assess the functional ability of people who have difficulties with sight and/or hearing due to sensory impairment.

Maybe this guidance has been over-ruled since...
Mind you, other Govt descriptions (non DWP related) of 'sensory impairment' also clearly identify deafness, especially from birth, as being a sensory impairment/disability in the same way as visual impairment/blindness.

However, I agree with you that my friend will struggle to score...
