Iconography for oblivious

Currently, the icon for oblivious, which conceals the killer's terror radius, is an image of a person holding their hand over their eyes.

The icon for blindness, which conceals any auras, is an eye.

This can be very confusing, especially for new players. A symbol of an eye by itself does not lead one naturally to the idea that sight is impaired. And showing a hand over the eyes does not lead naturally to an idea that audio clues will be hidden.

The hand over eyes could be used for blindness, but since that's already familiar to many, I'd suggest new icons for both.

For blindness, simply put a "no" slash over it (like the broken icon)

For obliviousness, I would suggest hands over the ears, or, alternatively, headphones with a "no" slash over it, or an ear with a "no" slash over it (per the wiki there was an unused ear icon for hearing).

    Would make more sense, since the "oblivious" status effect is effectively being deaf to the terror radius, so hands over the ears would work.
