Toddler won’t stay in bed!

Help please! My 3 year old will not stay is his own bed if I put him down in the evening. Transitioned him from cot to cot bed few months ago and all was fine. All of a sudden this past month he has decided to jump out of bed the second I leave the room and pull open drawers/ knock items over. I walked in and put him back in his bed over 80 times the other night. He just laughs at me or kicks/ bites/ scratches me. My husband however, it is a different story. He goes straight to bed. Have copied what my husband does but no joy. Have tried keeping a serious face/ not making eye contact etc., no luck. He is profoundly deaf so cannot raise my voice/ use a firm voice etc., as he does not wear his equipment at night and his communication level is that of an 18mth-2 year old. Am at my wits end.

I appreciate the shouting part but what ramifications are there for his behaviour?

Can you sit next to his bed until he falls asleep. If he starts trying to get up you can put him back down before he can get out of bed. After a few nights hopefully he will stay in bed and go to sleep, then you can bet gradually start sitting further and further away until you just pop your head in every few minutes?
