impersuadable

Deaf to arguments

Impersuadable describes someone whose mind cannot be changed—immune to argument, evidence, or appeal.

The word emphasizes futility: attempts at persuasion will fail.

Once she'd made up her mind, she was impersuadable.

Also spelled impersuasible, though neither form sees much use outside formal contexts.
