No it is not. You can't hallucinate something you've never experienced. I have Tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and I asked one of my Deaf friends if he had ever had ringing in his ears, since it is not a real sound, and he told me that he hadn't.
Now of course that wasn't a very scientific way of going about it, concievably you could argue that some people, Deaf or hearing don't get ringing in the ears, or you could argue that since he doesn't know what the sound of ringing is, he wouldn't have known if he had experienced it, but the plain and simple answer is no.

The reason for being born deaf is Karmic.... that is, paying off a Karmic due bill. Unlikely the person was deaf in his/her previous life, and thus, replaying MIND-level memory from that or another life would include "auditory" input.... however communication at the level of the MIND and in higher realms, is by direct perception, so... there would be an understanding of what another in a dream is conveying by way of meaning, but chances are there would be no sound per se.
If you recall your own dreams, you will perhaps recall that people are not heard as much as understood. So, I would tend to believe that auditory vibrational sound would not be possible... and a hallucination would depend upon the elements of hearing being present in order to occur.... unless such hallucination included imagining what sound might be. In this case the "sound" would be imagination and perhaps the person's MIND would provide the "sound" effects as part of the hallucination. Any number of possibilities when speaking of a MIND that is not confined to physical limitations.
The same would hold true for visual MIND-level memory being available to a blind person if there was a "reason" for such an event.

They feel vibrations in the ears when loud noises are around them...
