What does the term "hearing Mass" mean?

Sometimes people use the term "hearing Mass". For example, it is used in the [Six Precepts of the Church](https://www.preces-latinae.org/thesaurus/Numeri/SexPrae.html) where it is a translation of the Latin "*Missam audire*": > 1. To hear Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation and to refrain from servile work. > > 1. Diebus Dominicis ceterisque festis de praecepto Missam audire et ab operibus servilibus vacare. What does the term "hearing Mass" mean? What about deaf people who cannot hear? Perhaps "hearing" could be a problematic translation?
