or genuinely helpful.

If the former, then I guess only certain disabilities matter? Because you obviously have little understanding of just how crippling this form of hearing impairment can be in daily life, including in trying to understand any kind of an accent at all. Just because hearing impairments are not outwardly visible doesn't mean they don't exist and aren't difficult to deal with.

If the latter, the problem is that a lot of companies don't yet utilize that.
