Answer:

I’m not sure if the quote is from a specific story, but unless the character is literally deaf in it, this is an example of metaphor.

Svetradugi [14.3K]
Usher's madness begins to increase because he can hear the sound of Madeline below.

He was tortured by these sounds until the protagonist came to visit him so he could share his troubles with him. Usher is afraid of his 'undead' sister and of dying himself, which is why he grows crazier and crazier by the day, until he is finally killed by his own sister in the end.
