I would say the best way is to make a noise near it to see if it reacts. Dont knock the cage or touch it as it will feel the vibrations. If it responds or jumps when a noise is made, it isnt deaf. If you make a noise and nothing happens then you touch the cage or knock it and it will stir. It will feel the shock of the knock. Dont breath on it while testing for deafness as it will feel it, in other words, dont stand over as it might feel your breath but make sure you can see it.
