  1. deaf-and-dumb person

    A deaf-and-dumb person, a term considered outdated and offensive, typically refers to an individual who has the dual impairment of being both unable to hear and unable to speak. This usage has been largely replaced by more specific, respectful terms like "deaf," "hard-of-hearing," "nonverbal," or "speech impaired." Furthermore, it's important to note that being deaf or hard-of-hearing does not imply an inability to communicate as many people in these groups use sign language, other visual communication methods or technological aids.
