Thanks for posting this.. I am Deaf, born Deaf. 1. Check in (check bags, get your boarding pass, etc). They can't provide preboarding. 2. Once you get past security, you can ask any one of the individual gate agents for preboarding-give them your ticket, and they'll give you preboarding on the basis of disability. 3. Can anyone answer the concerns about understanding announcements once onboard? I have the same concerns-I can't hear announcements, so the only way seems to be to call down a stewardess and that is always a crapshoot-many don't explain what the announcement is (ex: we're delayed 20 minutes, please wait..). Thank you! Oh yes, and you can identify yourself as Deaf/hard of hearing when you buy your boarding pass online, FYI. And then yes, again at the gate or at the front when you check your bag, let them know again.
