Commentary for Berakhot 29:25
מאן תנא חרש דיעבד נמי לא אמר רב מתנה רבי יוסי היא דתנן הקורא את שמע ולא השמיע לאזנו יצא דברי ר' יהודה רבי יוסי אומר לא יצא
Who is the authority for the teaching that if a deaf person has read it, his recital is even post factum invalid? Rab Mattenah declared that it is R. Jose ; for we have learnt in our Mishnah : Who reads the Shema' without making it audible to his ear has complied with the requirements of the law. These are the words of R. Judah. R. Jose says: He has not so complied.

The point at issue is the fact that such a recital must be inaudible to the reader.
