I like it, but would you allow something with blindsight or tremorsense to "see through" the hiding? If not, you would need to add stipulations (or a blanket statement about it). In my mind, the language of 2014 "unseen and unheard" was good because it explicitly told you that it wasn't just vision-based.
I would absolutely allow Tremorsense, but would be iffy on Blindsight. Tremorsense could detect you through a wall, so there's no way that you would really be able to hide. Blindsight would probably depend? If it was, say, a bat with really good hearing, then yes, I would allow that. If it was a Fighter with Blind Fighting style, sure! It only works 10 feet out anyway.
In the current rules, what makes the hidden state preferable to straight up invisibility is the ability to move quietly that the successful stealth check grants you (as per the definition of stealth).
Your proposed definition of Hidden doesn't mention that at all, and therefore every creature would always be able to estimate the location of any other creature, so long as their hearing is not impaired.
5.5e Hiding doesn't take hearing into account either. The only thing it gives you is Invisible which explicitly only affects vision.
All of these things about being unheard would typically be done out of combat and are covered by a Stealth roll. The Hide Action is specifically an action you take in combat, so it wouldn't affect all of the "I hide under the bed and hold my breath" or "I slink through the bushes outside of the light of the campfire". Those are just a Stealth check just like climbing a rock wall would be an Athletics/Acrobatics check. Either could feasibly be done during combat, but might have other qualifiers (i.e. climbing a 60 ft. rock wall might require your action to maintain your hold between turns).
