The term considered derogatory is "Deaf-mute." This term is outdated and often viewed as offensive because it implies that deaf individuals cannot speak or communicate, which is not necessarily true. Many deaf individuals communicate using sign language or have other forms of communication. The more appropriate terms are "Deaf" or "Hard of Hearing."
