this is probably a bad question to ask you and maybe your followers could provide a better answer if they know, but I have a friend who is deaf/hard of hearing and I suggested she attend a few anime/comic conventions with me at some point in the future bec

Wow.

This is a great question, I’m kind of ashamed I don’t know the answer. I’ve paid a lot more attention to disability-friendliness and accessibility at conventions lately (sadly, it doesn’t seem to be a priority at many, yet). But I’m not aware of specific programs for the hearing impaired.

A lot of the anime shown at cons is subtitled, I imagine she would be okay there, I don’t think cosplay needs to be heard to be enjoyed…It SEEMS like most things, except maybe panels, would have easy access for your friend, but I don’t want to speak for people who are hearing impaired.

So I’ll throw it out…anyone out there with experience relating to this question?
