I can never decide if the discount for the registered blind is...
One thing to bear in mind that being registered blind doesn't mean that you have no sight - just that it is difficult to perform activities for which eyesight is essential. Many registered blind can get a lot visually out of a TV broadcast.
Also remember that the licence fee pays for the beeb's web presence and (if you include digital) ten national radio stations + goodness knows how many local ones.
You're right that there isn't a discount for the deaf (but there is subtitling available on most programs AFAIK.)
