Tosefta for Terumot 1:2
חֵרֵשׁ הַמְדַבֵּר וְאֵינוֹ שׁוֹמֵעַ, לֹא יִתְרֹם. וְאִם תָּרַם, תְּרוּמָתוֹ תְרוּמָה. חֵרֵשׁ שֶׁדִּבְּרוּ בוֹ חֲכָמִים בְּכָל מָקוֹם, שֶׁאֵינוֹ לֹא שׁוֹמֵעַ וְלֹא מְדַבֵּר:
A deaf person who can speak but cannot hear may not set aside <i>Terumah</i>. But if one did set aside <i>Terumah</i>, one's <i>Terumah</i> is valid <i>Terumah</i>. A deaf person that the Sages refer to in all cases can neither hear nor speak.
Tosefta Terumot
One who hears and does not speak – he is mute. One who speaks and does not hear – he is deaf. And in both cases regard him as one who is sensible in all respects.
