wow … your reply sounds a little harsh…
Im assuming the OP is hearing deficient… not sure if he/she wears hearing aids of not, or if they do, maybe they dont work well.
to the OP.
I understand your apprehension… I too have issues, with travel, (not related to hearing).
airports are the most friendly place for hearing impaired. they are usually the only place that has tty on their pay phones…
(in the US anyways).
I would guess, if you were to locate the proper person at theairport, they would be glad to help you all the way to the gate. akin to the carts/shuttles they have, along with assistance for other disabilities/walking/age, etc.
I bet they have sign language interpreters, or other support personnel to help you make it. I bet you can make these arrangements at the time you book your flight…
Please check this out, and if possible, let us know what you find.
on an aside. where do you live, where does your daughter live… I bet you can find a traveling partner… (self included)… like I said, I like traveling, but would feel much better with someone else to share the trials and tribulations…
good luck to you nolo bastarde carbarundum (sic?)
