-- deaf driver and blind passenger
A deaf Uber driver picked up a blind passenger.
At first communication was awkward, as the blind
passenger realized the driver was deaf. What
helped were these apps (VoiceOver iOS, Android
TalkBack and wireless braille display). At
the end of the ride, both men shook hands.

-- learning how to look for lost deaf hikers
Many deaf people like to hike through the hills
and the mountains. Just like hearing hikers, a
few deaf hikers get lost, requiring a search
group. Law enforcement officers from 12
different agencies in Utah and Arizona
had a workshop to learn how to find lost
deaf hikers. Two deaf actors were hired to
play the role of lost deaf hikers!
-- a deaf crook in Great Britain
A deaf man, a house builder in Great Britain,
is a crook. He took money for home improvement
jobs that he never completed. He said:
The courts can't do anything to me because I'm
deaf. I'm too clever for them.
DeafDigest hopes he will be arrested and
brought to justice some day soon.
