HoH/Deaf/deaf Accessibility Suggestion!
I played DBD since 2018. Back when Spine Chill was actually good. I am a survivor main, but only because I cannot stand 1st person point-of-view that killer has. I am a deaf player that uses audio visualizers to play. Here to discuss accessibilities and the experience it is to face against specific killers - Spirit and Twins. There are certain things that my speakers WILL NOT pick up, which are: footsteps, certain survivor injured noises, the hatch noise, Spirit phasing, and little Victor lurking about. Maybe there's more things, but these are the only things that affect my gameplay that I know of.
I am suggesting for something similar to a "damage indicator" (picture above ↑ to give visual example) for the killers mentioned. I also have been told that hearing people are able to find out which direction Spirit is phasing and where Victor is lurking. I can NOT. This makes the matches an unpleasant experience, hinders my team, and gives an unfair advantage just because I have hearing loss. I feel I need to clarify - I do not suggest this for hatch, only for Spirit's phasing and Victor. If not the directional indicator, then at least a similar effect of the heartbeat from Huntress' singing be applied when Twins and Spirit activate Victor and Phasing (second picture attached below on the right ↓ for example).

Sorry to hear about your struggle here - I'm not gonna argue against it. Just wanted to deliver a trace of empathy. Hope this goes well heard.
More should be done for those with accessibility issues, I'd love to play more with my friends who struggle with sound they avoid this game for very good reason.
