A deaf rabbit will startle easily and be frightened by the sudden appearance of someone he didn't hear coming. For a prey animal such as a rabbit this is especially frightening. Approach a deaf rabbit slowly, from a direction where he can see you. K. Marie Mead discovered that a deaf rabbit is unable to pick up vibrations from some flooring (tile on cement slab) as well as they do from others (wood), and developed a system of hand claps to communicate with her rabbit Kali.
