A silent Braille printer would be very useful, and could be built with current tech.

He knows some ASL. Phil and Clint practice it whenever Clint's hearing goes out. I haven't written him as deaf in this series, but have stipulated that he has weak ears -- so if he gets an ear infection or someone throws a sonic grenade, he may not be able to hear conversations for a while. It's something I'd like to explore later.
