Zechariah may have been unable both to speak and to hear, but Gabriel only told him that he would be unable to speak, so it is more likely that the people simply assumed he could not hear because he was not speaking. If you think your readers might wonder why the people made signs to Zechariah, you could offer an explanation. Alternate translation: “because Zechariah was not speaking, the people thought he could not hear either, so they made signs to him”

the_‹name› what ¬wishfully ˱he˲_/might_be/_wanting /to_be_being/_called him
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who would do the action. Alternate translation: “to ask him what name he wanted to give the baby”
1:62-63 they used gestures: Zechariah was mute and deaf (see study note on 1:20). Zechariah’s obedience in naming the child John confirmed his faith, and his voice and hearing were restored.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
