I don't think they are heightened, but the person with a deficiency will learn to use other senses better. Most of us take our hearing for granted, until we can no longer see. We touch things all the time, but when you can't see or hear, that touch becomes much more powerful.
Did you know that if a baby is born with either a hearing or a visual deficit, their walking, sitting, etc will be delayed...because the most stimulus they receive at any given time is laying down or being held...i.e. touch. And, a vibrating boucy seat gives more than they will ever get walking around.
In the end, they are not heightened, just more finely tuned.

Yes! My step-father has recently lost his vision (he is not even 50) and now my mom can't mumble anything under her breath without him hearing it. He also knows what is going on outside all of the time while my mom has no idea.
