deaf-mute

Adjective

 * 1)  Unable to hear or speak.

Usage notes
Note that individuals formerly called deaf-mute are rarely actually unable to speak and hence are merely deaf. The inability to speak is related to either choice or the unavailability of educational resources for the deaf. Thus, the preferred term now is simply.
