meikyo (つんぼ): "聴力を失っていること、また、耳の不自由な人をいう差別的な語。"

G n-grams:
みみしい	69
耳癈	No matches
  Comments:
みみしい is more or less obsolete and should be a separate entry. It also has a kanji form that doesn't apply to the other readings.
つんぼ is definitely "差別用語".
ろう isn't an old reading. And unlike つんぼ, it isn't considered offensive. I've created a new entry for 聾/ろう.
