As someone who spends a lot of time with a deaf person, in a high-quality of life country with a social welfare system, I can tell you that these alternative systems to support off-mainstream modalities generally suck, if they exist at all. You can’t hand-wave these things aside as if some powerful faerie will come solve the problem for you. It hasn’t worked like that for centuries and even in my country, where we’re comparatively quite good with this stuff, we’re shit with this stuff. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve had to call someone to book tickets for something requiring deaf support, on their behalf, when I can use a web interface for my booking. It’s crazy.
