If they can hear but just not speak, I agree that music would be a good way to go. If you aren't sure what type of music they like, something relaxing like classical music or other instrumental types of music are usually appreciated.
If you're looking for something less expensive, most things would be appropriate. A nice bathrobe, for instance, could be both helpful and appreciated. Perfume or cologne, depending upon the gender, would also be good. If you want to give the gift of music without the often expensive price tag, a radio of some sort would also work. You can usually find radios with very simple/easy-to-use controls that you don't necessarily have to see in order to operate.
Gift giving can be hard enough as it is, but, when you have other limitations, it can be downright confusing. I hope I helped in some way. Maybe if you didn't think any of my suggestions would fit, my ideas have perhaps sparked some creativity to allow you to think of an even more personalized, fun or interesting gift. Good luck!
Sincerely,
Stephanie

Appeal to the other senses of touch, smell, sound and taste.
A beautiful set of new sheets for the bed or a hand/foot massage;
perfume or aftershave with a ribbon around it so they can recognise the bottle;
music you know they like, or a radio with good audio;
chocolate, flowers, or a home-cooked meal.

My dad was nearly blind before he died and had trouble with his speech. We got him a top of the range radio which he absolutely loved. We also got him a portable CD player so he could listen to books. He had to fumble about a bit with the buttons but he didn't mind.

A good radio with a seek button. And, some headphones, but not the earplug kind, the good kind that goes over your head.
The seek button will enable them to simply press a button on order to search for new things to listen to.

A CD is the first thing I thought of. Perhaps the person would also enjoy a personal visit, being read to, etc.

Something involving music (or other noises) or something involving touch. Maybe a favorite CD, and an extra soft sweater?
Hope I helped!

Your company. Spend the day with them. If they can go out take them to eat. If not just visit.

Fancy assorted chocolates. If they are a child, you could get them the bop-it game.
