A single word from your lips overwhelms your foe’s hearing.

You utter a single word of power that instantly causes one creature of your choice to become deafened, whether the creature can hear the word or not. The duration of the spell depends on the target’s current hit point total, as shown below. Any creature that currently has 101 or more hit points is unaffected by power word deafen.

Hit Points	Duration
25 or less	Permanent
26–50	1d4+1 minutes
51–100	1d4+1 rounds
