Someone posted how can we communicate with a blind person as a joke but got me thinking how is it done with both blind and also a deaf.

    There’s a few different ways. If the person is mostly/fully deaf and blind, then communication is primarily through touch sign language interpreter (signing on the person’s hand) or a device that you type into that outputs braille for the deafblind person. Some deafblind people are not fully deaf or blind and can see sign language if the interpreter is very close to them.
