It's a good question. Most people who are "deaf" are not actually 100% deaf, and the same goes for those who are "blind." Most deaf people I have met may not be able to hear well enough to carry on a conversation, but they do hear things, and that includes vibrations. So it is more than possible for a deaf person to play the piano and derrive enjoyment from it.
