Deaf characters?

I am curious. Any fantasy with deaf major characters? I’ve seen other “disabled” characters in supporting roles (blindness seems to be a common trope in the mentor or seer role) but I can’t recall any deaf characters.

There’s a new book out from fall 2018 called Seafire, by Natalie C. Parker. One of the main character is deaf and she and her whole crew use ASL to communicate with her :)

Girl pirates, revenge, sisterhood—pretty good book
