The current WoW expansion has one of the faction leaders as a centaur who happens to be Deaf. Considering all the magic and technological nonsense in the game there's probably no reason there couldn't be a magic fix, but instead there's a wealth of not-quest-relevant information on how to interact with her (talk directly to her even though someone else interprets for her), how she handles being Deaf (she has a guide dog and there's a specific interaction that explains how he helps!), and other stuff. In fact you can pet most of the dogs in the area but if you try to pet hers it tells you he's on duty.

It was one of the most interesting things in the whole area imo!

Warcraft, like many franchises, has also just always given characters irreversible disabling injuries despite having established magic that they could use to fix it. One of the most iconic troll characters in the franchise lost an arm and an eye, and it was an active choice by the writers to not have him regenerate them, as trolls are capable of regrowing lost parts. Another troll took permanent damage to his throat as an in-universe explanation for why his voice changed, and it renders him physically unable to speak his native language correctly. There's at least one elderly magic user who uses a wheelchair instead of using magic to move around. And one major character who is himself skilled in healing magic sustained injuries so severe that they left him with with something akin to nerve damage, although that pain has not been referenced in several years, so Blizzard may have collectively forgotten about that one.

A lot of storytellers who aren't actively trying to be inclusive still include acquired disability, if for no other reason than to show that their world is still dangerous even if they have magic or incredibly advanced technology. A world where everything can be easily fixed is a world without stakes.
