Its root in the classical dictionaries

الصمم: فقدان حاسة السمع، وبه يوصف من لا يصغي إلى الحق ولا يقبله. قال تعالى:

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالي: ﴿صم بكم عمي﴾ [البقرة: 18] الصمم فقدان حاسة السمع، وبه شبه من لا يصغي إلي الحق ولا يقبله. والقوم- كانوا- سامعون ناطقون مبصرون، لكن لما لم يسمعوا القرآن ولم يقرؤوه ولم ينظروا في دلالاته جعلوا كذلك. وليتهم كانوا فاقدين لهذه الحواس خاصة إنما المصيبة في فقدان تلك البصائر. وأصل الصمم السد.
