BrLXX Καὶ ἀκούσονται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ κωφοὶ λόγους βιβλίου, καὶ οἱ ἐν τῷ σκότει, καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ ὁμίχλῃ· ὀφθαλμοὶ τυφλῶν ὄψονται,
(Kai akousontai en taʸ haʸmera ekeinaʸ kōfoi logous bibliou, kai hoi en tōi skotei, kai hoi en taʸ homiⱪlaʸ; ofthalmoi tuflōn opsontai, )
29:18 The people were deaf and blind in heart and spirit (see 6:10; 42:18; 43:8). Yet humanity and all of creation would be renewed (see 35:1-5).
The Holy One of Israel
The phrase The Holy One of Israel is particularly prominent in the book of Isaiah, occurring around two dozen times. The Holy One is the King (6:5), the righteous and just one (26:7), the incomparable God (40:25), and the Redeemer of his people (41:14). Anyone coming to the Holy One must worship him in reverence and awe. The Holy One identifies himself with Mount Zion, called holy because it is his symbolic dwelling place (see 18:7; 24:23; 27:13; 56:7; 60:1-22).
The Holy One stands apart from all his creation because he is morally perfect. Sinful people cannot dwell with him (see 1:4). God’s holiness requires ritual purity and moral perfection. God is a consuming fire who purges away anything that does not conform to his holy will (see 33:14).
Yet the Holy One sets aside a remnant for himself (4:2-3; 6:13). He washes away their filth and commits to be present with them (12:6), his own redeemed people (35:8-9; 62:12; see also 49:7). He demonstrates his holy power as he comes to the aid of sinful and weak humans, rescues them from the exile that their sin creates, and opens up the new creation for them.

(Some words not found in UHB: and,hear in/on/at/with,day (the)=that the,deaf words writing and,out_of,gloom and,from,darkness both_eyes_of blind see )
This could mean: (1) this is literal and Yahweh will cause deaf people to hear and blind people to see or (2) this is a metaphor that means Yahweh will enable the people to hear and understand his message or (3) it may mean both options 1 and 2.
