Some people who cannot talk CAN hear. It depends on their particular disability. If a person is born deaf, it can keep them from learning to speak normally, and some people may have other reasons they can't talk, such as damage to their vocal cords.

How deaf is related to dumb?

"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.
