Synonym for "deaf and blind"
... I don't know one!
Does anyone here know a synonym for "deaf and blind" or "deaf, blind, mute", etc?
I just need one word that means both (or all three)
Please help if you can!

Of course, disability covers them all, but many other things as well. These are all completely different disabilities so there is not one single word to cover both or all three. The nearest I can think of is the phrase 'sensory impairment', which will cover deaf and blind (but also a few other things), but it does not cover mute.
