"Dumb" originally meant "unable to speak". For the rest of the answer I'll use it in that sense.

A person who is deaf from an early age is likely to be dumb as well. It's difficult to learn to speak if you can't hear. Even those who do manage it can't hear themselves to get feedback on whether they're pronouncing things correctly.
