Editor: on second thoughts, maybe it's better without a hyphen, since it's not necessarily used as an adjective (modifier).

e.g.:
1. Tone-deaf violinist (Tone-deaf is a single adjective unit describing violist.)
2. The violinist was tone deaf. (http://www.uhv.edu/ac/newsletters/writing/grammartip2004.11.30.htm)

莎拉: 我见过你的朋友,我不太相信其中没有半个音痴。
Sarah: I've seen your friends and find it hard to believe that none of them are tone deaf.
Diff:
- 音痴 音痴 [yin1 chi1] /tone-deaf/
+ 音痴 音痴 [yin1 chi1] /tone deaf/
