וְשָׁמַע אִישָׁהּ — לְהוֹצִיא אֶת הַחֵרֵשׁ. וְשָׁמַע אִישָׁהּ — אֵין לִי אֶלָּא שֶׁשָּׁמַע הוּא; הִשְׁמִיעוּהוּ אֲחֵרִים מִנַּיִן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר וְקָמוּ כָּל נְדָרֶיהָ. וְהֶחֱרִישׁ לָהּ — זוֹ חֲרִישָׁה לְקַיֵּם. (סִפְרֵי)

What Is Learned
“Ve-shama ishah” excludes a deaf husband from the power of confirmation by silence. Hearing includes being told by others. “Ve-hecherish lah” on this verse is silence-for-confirmation (as distinct from silence-to-distress taught later in the parsha).
