Gillian,
Where our Colleges have taken deaf students they have installed
visual alarms in the student's room and in bathrooms etc nearby they're
likely to use. I would have thought the University Safety Officer could be
enlisted on your side? Wouldn't the University be liable for any injury
suffered by a deaf student, especially since you have raised the issue of
visual alarms?
Good luck!
