The entire article was presented for your reading pleasure. It didn't say anything about her being deaf. One would presume that a subway rider would KNOW which direction the train would be coming from, so she was probably looking right at its' headlights.

DS had a high school best friend, "Mike", who died of Acute Terminal Stupidity. One night Mike and his girlfriend were sitting on the wooden cover over the 3rd rail of the Long Island Railroad, near the Valley Stream station. 

In the dark.

Electric trains are silent. The engineer didn't see them until he hit them.

Yes, it's awful.

I think about Mike at least a couple of times a week when I drive down his street.
