Related for Chagigah 4:5

וממאי דמדבר ואינו שומע זהו חרש שומע ואינו מדבר זהו אלם דכתיב (תהלים לח, יד) ואני כחרש לא אשמע וכאלם לא יפתח פיו ואיבעית אימא כדאמרי אינשי אישתקיל מילוליה:

And from where do you infer that he who speaks and does not hear is deaf, and that he who hears and does not speak is dumb? Since it is written, (Psalms 38:14) "But I as a deaf man hear not; and I am as a dumb man, who opens not his mouth." And if you want, I'll say [alternatively], according to the proverbial saying, A man stumbling in his words.

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.
