That "disabled" one sounds interesting. I haven't read a lot of books with deaf characters (I think blindness is the more... "popular" disability in books, or in sci-fi/fantasy anyway) but I know that on TV deaf characters are often very controversial with real deaf people, especially if the story touches on cochlear implants. It's probably the touchiest subject in deaf culture and it's almost never done right. The implant is pretty much always treated like some sort of miracle, which is far from reality.
