As a person with disabilities (congenital atresia of both ear canals; I now wear a Ponto, a bone-anchored hearing aid), I think VR is just fine. I've also heard it works well for people who are legally blind due to extreme nearsightedness.
Also, I hate the word "privilege" being used like it's a dirty word. My having the privilege of using VR is not taking anything away from anyone else; in fact, it's opening the door for EVERYONE to have the same privilege. Someone, after all, has to be the early adopter who helps iron out all the bugs before it goes to mass market.
