I cannot see any reason why a person with both visual and audio impairments could not be presented with a test to prove they are human.
Go on, I'm all eyes and ears... describe such a test.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha#Attempts_at_more_accessible_CAPTCHAs discusses this. And, I look forward to see what those doing research in this area come up with in the future. It does seem obvious that since they are human, that a good test can be designed which does not rely on security through obscurity.
