I lost a significant amount of my hearing from an autoimmune disorder. I can't hear soft noises or any higher pitched sounds such as a smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, police and ambulance sirens, rattlesnakes, doorbells, kitchen timers, rattlesnakes, and etc... I am blessed with a hearing alert service dog that alerts me upon hearing such important sounds. I have never experienced a fire or CO2 poisoning in my home, but my service dog alerted me to a timber rattlesnake that was within 2 yards of my feet and a tornado siren (when visiting my elderly mother in Oklahoma). I'm saddened that you are so uneducated and believe being blind is the only disability. I hope I never have to meet you or sit anywhere near you on a SW flight with my service dog.
