Deaf at Airport 

When your family orders the tickets they can put they are riding with someone who is deaf and then your family will be assigned seats with you

@Just Chill I think they believe deaf people cant hear alarm, or Deaf is disabled.. Disabled people cant sit by emergency door

Christopher my deaf family and i sit in the front because it would be easier and also we sit in normal seats. i never ever had to sit in another seat apart from my family. probably because we are all deaf with some hearing people.

Same here.

I have ADHD and am HoH, plus auditory processing disorder and probably sensory processing disorder. Airports were a lot for me before the pandemic. Traveling now on an airplane with my mom would be impossible, since she also has ADHD and is HoH plus is a full-time electric lift wheelchair user and is immunosuppressed and extremely high-risk for COVID. Even if we both manage to understand everything spoken to us over all the noise and successfully get on the plane without being overwhelmed or confused, the airline could still break or lose her wheelchair in transit. I don't know if there are any trains or buses that are accessible to a six-foot-tall person in a 250+ lb electric lift wheelchair. She can't physically enter a lot of buildings and finding reliable wheelchair accessible public transportation locally is usually a nightmare. I really wish that the ADA was enforced so we actually had equal access to transportation in the US.

What was their reasoning? Why should it matter to the airport employees if shes beside or behind you?

Yes! I am the adult child of a mom who uses an electric lift wheelchair full-time; she has a degenerative neuromuscular condition and can't lift herself or use a manual chair anymore. We are both HoH, but even if airports were totally accessible for the deaf, I know she would still be excluded and disrespected as a wheelchair user. At least Tammy Duckworth got a regulation added to the US Federal Aviation Administration bill that requires airlines to report when they break or lose wheelchairs. It's something.

Hi! I am deaf and youngman, from India..

My mom and me are both HoH and my mom is a full-time electric wheelchair user. When we go to the park together, dogs always bark at her. Is that because dogs are freaked out by motorized wheelchairs? Maybe some are, but our dog doesn't mind them at all. She even licks my mom's wheelchair and lays her head on it lovingly, like it's a part of my mom. I think that the humans walking the dogs immediately tense up when they see my mom in her wheelchair, so the dogs sense it and get nervous too. Hearing people and non-disabled people really need to calm down. It's not that serious.

Yeah my mom and me are HoH and my mom uses a 200-300 lb electric lift wheelchair. Insurance wouldn't pay for it and buying a used one cost as much as a car (thousands of dollars). Airports where I live (the US) constantly lose and break wheelchairs and don't always reimburse passengers. Even if airports were made wholy accessible to D/HoH people, my mom would still be excluded because of her physical disabilities. We need universal access to solve both audism and ableism.

I agree. I was in an airport at D.C. with a school group and we were going through security. I took my hearing aids off because of altitude and I put them in my case, so obviously I couldn't hear as well. We were putting our bags in the bins and one of the ladies was trying to talk to me. She got mad when I didn't respond so one of my chaperones had to tell her about my hearing loss. I was so embarrassed.😡😤

Malene's World! Same

@Christopher no its not because deaf is just a NORMAL person with a hearing loss.
