Hand signals. I make a point to teach these to all of my dogs in the event that they ever go deaf. You can also mouth the words out and sometimes they react to both the hand signal and the pronunciation.

Great Dog - another vote for Radar.
Try a stimulus collar for the easy training - one that simply vibrates. To get him to come to you sit/ stay etc...You may want to get one that provides some electronic stimulus as well to stop any bad behavior.

Dogtra makes great collars.

Deaf dogs are tough. I have a deaf english bulldog and she is a handful. Hand signals are about the only thing that sometimes work. I look like an idiot waving my arms around in my backyard trying to get her attention. Best advice I can give you is keep him on leash when outside or keep him in a fence. If he goes after something there isn't much you can do. Hand commands don't do shite when they are running after another animal in the other direction. Luckily mine is an inside dog so I have control over that.

Because everything you say will go right over its head.

I have a deaf boxer that I got from a rescue group that was already trained. Having another dog definitely helps. There is a lot of good info on the Internet and i would recommend going to a trainer for help.

Good looking dog! Wish there were more people like you in the world. I heard hearing impaired dogs are awesome companions and are really fast learners and smart as hell.

Get a not deaf dog. That one is going to bite somebody.
Deaf dogs are very easy to surprise and surprised catahoulas bite.
ETA: throw that in with it not being able to tell you're yelling at it unless it's looking at you and you have a four legged liability. Shoot it and get another one.

I had deaf cat once while in college....it was pure white, big as a baby cougar, deaf as a mute could be and I named him Beethoven. Lived outdoors, mainly hanging out in the woods for many years!!

My first thought was making pressure waves (noises) to get him to look at you, then hand signals.
When people lose one sense, their other ones get much better. Why not the same for dogs?
Good looking dog though

Sadly I don't think it matters what you call him, his arse ain't coming.

Catahoulas are great dogs, but there are some things you should be aware of. Health wise, some Catahoulas may get hip dysplasia and suffer arthritis with pain due to limited hip motion. As you already found out, deafness and eye conditions are another condition they seem to inherit.
Training your dog is also going to be more problematic, but even more important since he can't hear. This is a breed that really needs to learn to accept their order in the pack. They can be very independent, territorial and protective. You have to be the Alpha leader, not the dog. (No, I'm not talking about OT wannabe slang.)
The easiest way to establish dominance would be to walk him on a leash and teach him to heel. It also gets rid of his excess energy. Most bad behavior in dogs is poor training by humans. Establish a good set of rules and eliminate confusion and your dog will be fine.
