A lot of stuff has been done to help those that lost their hearing, those that were born with a loss  and others, regain whatever hearing they want. There are still quite a lot of us, who either will not benefit form that technology or such and who also don't wish to. We have embraced and accepted our hearing loss and deafness as a way of life and are happy for the most part. We would just like to be treated as equals. They make accommodations for the low vision, blind, and wheelchair bound, why not the hoh/deaf? Most places I have been in for a few years, have elevators available for the wheelchairs, and braille for the low vision/blind. I think they could do more for us hoh/deaf as well. I'm not talking about CI's, HA's or whatever else. Like others have said, we just want something to let us know which gate to get to for a plane, when our food order is ready, proper captioning for the television and movies.
