Useful?
People with hearing impairments do not usually have problems with the architectural accessibility with the exception of alarm signals in hotels or apartments. It is more important to know where people are available who can communicate with people without hearing. They can at least give an idea of the precautions which have been reached for people without hearing and to which extent the staff is aware of their needs.
