PRONUNCIATION NOTE FOR DEAF
Deaf is usually pronounced [def], with the vowel of left.
In uneducated speech the dialectal pronunciation [deef],
to rhyme with leaf, is still heard occasionally, but it is increasingly rare.
USAGE NOTE FOR DUMB
Dumb in the sense “lacking the power of speech”
is perceived as insulting when describing humans (but not animals), probably because dumb also means “stupid; dull-witted.”
The noun dummy in the sense “person who lacks the power of speech”
is also perceived as insulting,
as are the terms deaf-and-dumb, deaf-mute, and mute.
The adjective hearing-impaired is acceptable though not the term of choice, partly because it lacks directness.
The preferred term is deaf, which makes no reference to an inability to speak or communicate; the capitalized word Deaf signals membership in this community.
American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language
deaf′ly adv.
deaf′ness n.
Usage Note:
The rise of the Deaf Pride movement in the 1980s introduced a distinction between deaf and Deaf,
with the capitalized form used specifically in referring to deaf persons belonging to the community—also known as Deaf culture—that has formed around the use of American Sign Language as the preferred means of communication.
COLLINS COBUILD English Usage
deafly adv
ˈdeafness n
Usage: Referring to any group using the formula the deaf
is nowadays felt to be inappropriate because it glosses over people's individuality and perpetuates stereotypes.
It is preferable to use phrases such as deaf people
