DEAF STUDENT KNOCKED OUT OF NATIONAL SPELLING BEE WEDNESDAY
An 11-year-old, who was born deaf, made it to the preliminaries of the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. He was knocked out of the competition by misspelling 'polychromatic' Wednesday. Neil Maes was diagnosed with profound sensorineural hearing loss when he was 6 weeks old. His anatomy in his ear was perfect, but his brain couldn't interpret sounds. At 11 months old, he had his first cochlear implant, and a month later they turned on his transmitters so he could hear. / WYFF

JUDGE: COURT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST DEAF MAN BY DENYING MEDIATION INTERPRETER
A deaf Indianapolis man was discriminated against when a court denied providing him an interpreter during a mediation session ordered in his child custody case. A federal judge ruled Friday that Marion Superior Court’s decision to deny the interpreter in a court-funded mediation program violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. Dustin King sued the courts in 2014, claiming that he was entitled to an ASL interpreter when he participated in Marion County’s modest means assistance program. / The Indiana Lawyer

VICTORY FOR DEAF TEACHER WHO FOUGHT FOR HEARING HELP AT GRADUATION
After nearly a year, East Brunswick High School teacher Richard Koenigsberg has won his battle against the district over a request for hearing assistance at graduation. Koenigsberg, a 30-year veteran of the high school, had a simple request: for the district to provide him with a CART reporter at the June 16 graduation ceremony. The CART reporter offers a real-time display of text typed by a stenographer. Koenigsberg doesn't use ASL but instead reads lips, and he has normal verbal skills. / NJ.com

For many years Iowa School for the Deaf students had dressed in their finest clothes on Memorial Day to remember the students and staff who had been laid to rest on campus between 1879 and 1900. As time passed the memorial ceremonies faded. But each year Shirley Hicks ensures the 10 will not be lost to history once again, by holding a memorial involving the school’s present-day students.

Imagine standing on a stage, in front of thousands of people and translating a rapper into a completely different language, in real time. If that seems like a completely unrealistic job, it's not. It is exactly what ASL interpreter Amber Galloway Gallego does for a living. "ASL is a foreign language, it's grammatically different than English," she said. "I'm actually … painting the pictures, more so than just following word by word." Ms Galloway Gallego has been doing this in the US for more than 14 years.

There are more than 40 Uber drivers in Montreal who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. They say they are at risk of losing their jobs if Quebec instates new laws that will push Uber out of the province. “80 per cent of the deaf are unemployed and on welfare,” said Benoit Landry, who is deaf and became a part-time driver for Uber last year. / CTV News

THE TECH INDUSTRY CAN DO BETTER WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEAF COMMUNITY
You are probably familiar with the two University of Washington undergraduates who just won a $10,000 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for their invention of gloves that can supposedly translate sign language. But, what you don’t know is how little these gloves will actually contribute to the Deaf community as a whole. Although these gloves may be a leap in technology, they’re not a step in the right direction. / The Daily Dot

WHY 1 EAR DEVICE IS BETTER THAN 2 FOR MANY HEARING-IMPAIRED PATIENTS
When it comes to devices for the hearing impaired, using less can sometimes mean a lot more. So says Lina Reiss, who investigated an odd trend among people using both cochlear implants and hearing aids. Many subjects reported improved hearing after using the combination of devices, but a smaller group, about 25 percent, said their hearing was more distorted and less comprehensible with both than it was with just a cochlear implant. / Portland Business Journal
