Screaming Longbow
Weapon (longbow), rare (requires attunement)
Arrows fired from this sickly longbow let out a screeching howl audible up to 100 feet away as they fly by. Creatures struck by these arrows take an extra 2d4 thunder damage. When you roll a 20 on an attack roll made with this weapon, all creatures within 5 feet of the target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be deafened for 1 minute.

The language is uncertain as to whether the deafening affects the target as well.

I don't think it is. It says "all creatures within 5 feet of the target". The target is 0 feet away from itself, so if the target is a creature, the deafening affects it.
