Can zombies see or hear?

Applying Bekesy's post-mortem data we can estimate that zombies likely have at least a moderately-severe sensorineural hearing loss. It is also plausible that loss of non-linearity and elevated thresholds may compromise loudness growth leading to sound sensitivity (recruitment/hyperacusis).

Why zombies can t talk?
