Hearing impaired and speech impaired. Total hearing impaired can be deaf. Totally speech impaired can be mute. There is also elective mutisim in children where a child will not speak outside the home—like in school.

Deaf and dumb is not acceptable since deafness does not equal dumb at all. I have several deaf friends that are college graduates.
Deaf Mute is questionable since Mute means cannot speak and some deaf people can speak quite well they just can't hear.
Especially deaf who were not born deaf but became that way in childhood or early adulthood.
Hearing Impaired is the acceptable term.
