לא יתרום. לכתחלה דצריך להשמיע לאזנו כשיברך:
חרש שדברו בו חכמים בכל מקום וכו׳ לאו כללא הוא, דבריש חגיגה תני חרש, ומדבר ואינו שומע בכלל, ובפרק מצות חליצה לענין חליצה:
שאינו שומע ואינו מדבר. שנולד חרש ממעי אמו, וכיון שלא שמע מעולם מה שמדברים לו א״א לו שידבר:

Bartenura
רבי יהודה אומר: תרומתו תרומה – de facto, for Rabbi Yehuda does not [hold] by this interpretation of מאת כל איש/”from every person” (Exodus 25:2) -except for a minor.
עד שלא בא לעונת נדרים – A male at the age of twelve years and one day and a female at the age of eleven years and one day, and from that period onward, if he donated the Terumah/the sacred heave-offering (2% gift to the Kohen), what he set aside is Terumah. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yosi.
רבי יהודה אומר תרומתו תרומה. בדיעבד, דלית ליה לרבי יהודה הך דרשא מאת כל איש פרט לקטן:
עד שלא בא לעונת נדרים. הזכר בן י״ב שנה ויום אחד, והנקבה בת י״א שנים ויום אחד. ומאותה עונה ואילך אם תרם תרומתו תרומה. והלכה כרבי יוסי:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

לא יתרום – ab initio for one needs to let his ears hear as he makes the blessing (see Mishnah Berakhot, Chapter 3, Mishnah 3 which also deals with the issue of “letting his ears hear”/"צריך להשמיע לאזניו" .
חרש שדברו בו חכמים – it is not a general principle, for at the beginning of Tractate Hagigah it is taught that a deaf person who speaks but does not hear is included, and in the chapter מצות חליצה/The command of Halitzah (see specifically, Mishnah 4), regarding the subject of “removing the shoe” [of the dead husband’s brother who refuses to perform a levirate marriage].
שאינו שומע ואינו מדבר – who born deaf from his mother’s womb, and since he never heard what they are saying to him, it is impossible for him that he could speak.
