Can't They Just Text Everyone? Or Tweet It All Out?

Here's a "hadn't thought of that" thing that might help you even if you're not deaf yourself: In response to deaf people complaining that they miss airport announcements, some airports are putting up electronic message boards to, in effect, closed-caption the PA system. Even if you're not deaf, it's really easy not to be able to hear clearly what they're saying on the PA. I'd want to check the board at all times, just to make sure. (And another example is at ballparks, which increasingly have captions on a board for everything the PA announcer says, although the other week when I was at Citizens Bank Park in Philly, I noticed that the captioning was often hilariously wrong, especially with names....)
