Can a person be deaf without being a mute and vice versa?

yes - most deaf people can speak and vice versa (though as you can imagine it’s harder to learn to speak when you can’t hear)

incredible - I'd assume they have a longer feedback loop and take longer to correct themselves

yeah - it’s pretty rare for someone to be born profoundly deaf and speak exactly like a hearing person and it takes a lot more work just to learn to be understood
