It is not society-wide yet.  The drive for Silent Heralds began about 4
years ago.  I don't have a direct URL for it, but if you want, I can
backchannel you the e-mail address of the lady who started the Silent Herald
drive in Middle/Aethelmarc.

I know Middle uses the same standard.

You're correct.  The lady in question has two hearing-impared children and
saw the need for obvious reasons.

Like I said, I can point you towards her, if you'd like.
