Oh! I didn’t know. What is the correct term?

2429

Just “deaf” or “hard-of-hearing”.

[I looked it up.]

2430

What if they’re really mute?

2431

If they are unable to speak, “mute” is an outmoded word that carries baggage. It’s like saying “crippled.” There is nothing with saying someone is deaf and does not speak.

2432

Well then what is the PC term for mute? Someone can have a condition that makes them unable to speak whether or not they also suffer from deafness.

Anyhoo:
