Fostoria, OH
FATAL OHIO HOUSE FIRE VICTIMS WERE HEARING IMPAIRED
Relatives say the two people who died in a northwestern Ohio house fire earlier this week were hearing impaired. Three people are charged in connection with the fire in Fostoria. Investigators have not released a motive but say the fire was intentionally set. City officials say the victims were 48-year-old Danny Marker and 44-year-old Tara Lynn Vance. A third woman was rescued from the home and is in a Toledo hospital. / The Newark Advocate

3 SENTENCED IN 2012 KILLING OF DEAF MAN
Two young women connected to the stabbing death of Michael Shull asked for forgiveness in court Thursday. His parents had none to give. And as the terms of three prison sentences were read aloud, Cliff and Josee Shull visibly struggled to accept what they believe is insufficient punishment of those responsible for their son’s death. Michael Shull, who had recently graduated from the N.C. School for the Deaf, died shortly before Christmas 2012, the victim of a plot by people he knew. / Charlotte Observer

DEAF MAN LEFT FOR DEAD AFTER HIT-AND-RUN
Virginia Beach police are searching for the suspect in a hit-and-run crash near Naval Air Station Oceana early Sunday morning. The victim, who is deaf, was riding a moped home from his job at Oceana. Chris Valerio spoke to WAVY.com using sign language and a translator. “He thought he was going to die,” said Katherine Alvarado, the victim’s close friend. She said the suspect vehicle followed Valerio’s moped closely, until it hit him. / WAVY

Another Houston-area Denny’s was held-up overnight as five men stormed a restaurant in northeast Harris County.

HEARING-IMPAIRED KAYAKERS GET HELP THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA
Two hearing-impaired kayakers on the Conemaugh River were too exhausted to make the return trip to their vehicle Monday evening, and turned to social media for assistance with contacting 911. Terry Shepherd, first assistant chief with Blairsville Volunteer Fire Department, said the two men set out in separate kayaks. About 6:30 p.m., firefighters were contacted to meet the men, who indicated they were somewhere below the Route 22 and Livermore bridges. “That's a pretty long span,” Shepherd said. / TribLIVE

GOOGLE GLASS ADAPTATION OPENS THE UNIVERSE TO DEAF STUDENTS
Ordinarily, deaf students are left in the dark when they visit a planetarium. With the lights off, they can’t see the ASL interpreter who narrates their tour of outer space. With the lights on, they can’t see the constellations of stars projected overhead. That’s why a group at Brigham Young University launched the “Signglasses” project. Professor Mike Jones and his students have developed a system to project the sign language narration onto several types of glasses – including Google Glass. / BYU

DEAF VALEDICTORIAN GIVES INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH
Evan Mercer was born deaf, but it wasn't discovered until he was four years old. Specialists told his parents he would never read, and speaking was out of the question. Evan defied the prediction in his valedictorian speech at Harrison High School May 22. "Deafness has taught me to never give up," he said from the stage. / KSDK

KENTUCKY SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF GRADUATES LISTEN TO LIFE LESSONS AT GRADUATION
It doesn’t matter who your friends are, you can make good choices in life or bad choices. The choice is yours whether you go straight on your path to success, according to Savannah Marie Hobbs, a lesson she modeled for fellow Kentucky School for the Deaf students this year. Her hard work paid off, as the 17-year-old graduated Thursday as valedictorian of KSD’s senior class with a slew of scholarships to attend Gallaudet University, while also completing certified nursing classes. / The Advocate Messenger

Jupiter, FL
HEARING-IMPAIRED STUDENTS MUST HAND OVER DISTRICT-BOUGHT HEARING AIDS AT GRADUATION
Hearing impaired students in Jupiter, Fla., who borrowed expensive hearing aids from the school district will have to turn them over at their graduation ceremony, but teachers are hoping to change that. "It broke our hearts to see them lose their hearing aids and go silent right at graduation, so we go out and find donors in the community and we find ways to purchase them hearing aids,” Dr. Kelly Easterling told WPTV. / Opposing Views

TELECOMMUNICATION ACCESS OFFERS NEW OPTIONS FOR HEARING IMPAIRED
A household object that many take for granted is the ticket to independence for the deaf and hard of hearing. It’s a telephone, and for the past 25 years, the Montana Telecommunications Access Program has helped people get access to devices that can help them communicate. Still, the program, which was created by the state Legislature in 1989, lacks public awareness. / Great Falls Tribune

An 18-year old girl who is deaf after contracting meningitis when she was a baby has secured €5m ($6.8 million US) in settlement of her High Court action.

DEAF FOOTBALL TEAM CONCEDES 164 GOALS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T HEAR REFEREE'S WHISTLE
A deaf football team ended a season on minus six points – because they could not hear the referee’s whistle. Birmingham Deaf FC’s sequence of shocking results were among the worst in the city's AFA Saturday League’s history. They lost all but one of their 26 fixtures, shipped 164 goals and ended bottom of division five. But the team, made up of profoundly deaf players, at least had a decent excuse. The squad couldn’t hear the referee’s commands – and claimed their pleas for flags to be used instead were ignored. / Mirror

MAT GILBERT TALKS LIFE AS ENGLAND'S ONLY DEAF PROFESSIONAL SPORTSMAN
Mat Gilbert has come a long way since he drew his first breath in Sidcup 28 years ago. At the age of two he left for Hong Kong and by then the degenerative hearing condition he was born with had started to take hold. It wasn’t until Mat was five that doctors discovered the hairs in his inner ear were not growing properly, leaving him to scale the heights of professional rugby without ever knowing what it was like to play the sport without being deaf. / News Shopper

DEAF HUMOR INSPIRES FILM
A director and writer who grew up in a deaf family has made a film in sign language telling the tales of four deaf Yorkshiremen on a trip to Blackpool. Originally inspired by a Monty Python sketch, Charlie Swinbourne’s film Four Deaf Yorkshiremen Go To Blackpool was shown on Film4 this week and can now be seen online. Swinbourne, 32, says the film is based on his experiences of growing up. His parents are both deaf and he grew up seeing stories told visually in sign language. / Ilkley Gazette

DEATH OF A DEAF-FRIENDLY DISCO
More than two years since it closed, many people in Madrid are still nostalgic for the Equal Deafriendly Video Disco.

VIDEO REVEALS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LISTEN TO SOUND USING A COCHLEAR IMPLANT
Around one in every 1,000 babies is born deaf and many people lose their hearing as they get older. Cochlear implants have revolutionized life for people who are deaf or hearing impaired and cannot benefit from a hearing aid. But until recently, the experts who design and implant the devices have not known what they sound like. Now, scientists have revealed what it sounds like to hear via an implant. / Daily Mail
