Deaf Community Discover The App 'Glide'
VIDEO [CC] - App for the masses finds niche among the Deaf.
FromTheGrapevine - Find out why a video messaging startup has joined the ranks of Microsoft and Google.
We've all heard the hit song "Let it Go" from the Disney movie "Frozen" enough times to, well, let it go. So when film director Jules Dameron decided to make her own music video of the now ubiquitous song, the bar was set high for coming up with a unique rendition.
So how was Dameron's music video different? It was sung in American Sign Language, and used an entirely Deaf cast and crew.
And for Dameron, who herself is Deaf, communicating with that many people on set was made simpler thanks to a video messaging app called Glide.
"I instantly fell in love with it," the Hollywood-based director told From The Grapevine. "For once, I felt like I could function, and fully express myself through communications with everyone that I used sign language with. I just adored the fact I didn't have to rely on English text anymore.
American Sign Language is a completely different language with its own set of grammar, rules and structure, and for me to discover a social medium to express just that, as opposed to English, meant the world to me."... Read more: http://www.fromthegrapevine.com/innovation/glide-deaf-app

Student Uses Hearing Loss To Motivate Others
VIDEO [CC] - A Scott County college student who was born Deaf is achieving things others thought were impossible.
WATE KNOXVILLE - After two surgeries that allowed her to hear and speak, for the first time she is hoping all of her accomplishments will show people hearing loss doesn’t have to hold anyone back.
WATE 6 On Your Side spoke with the student and her mom about the hearing implants that changed her life.
Before she had implant surgery, she tried to use hearing aids because if we could get benefit from that then would’ve been wonderful but unfortunately the hearing aids just didn’t work for her,” said Melissa Roberts Cheyenne’s Mother.
18-year-old Cheyenne Roberts received her first cochlear implant from Advance Bionics at just 15-months-old, and her second when she was 12. Afterwards, she had to learn how to hear and speak for the very first time.
“I was a cheerleader and I was able to hear everybody else cheer and hear what was going on at the game so cochlear implants just really helped me,” said Cheyenne Roberts... Read more: http://wate.com/2015/09/13/college-student-uses-hearing-loss-to-motivate-others/
