The deaf community should get together and lobby to pass a regulation that Flight Attendants have to do their safety speech with Sign Language for the deaf, and name it after the flight attendant who caused it, so every other flight attendant will know who to hate.
That's an option.
Alternatively, that speech has been given millions and millions of times; there are almost no survivors of most plane incidents that would engage any of that data. It's generally theater to make you feel better about flying. A sticker on the back of the headrest in front of you could easily solve the need for that BS.
Sticker? They give you that whole colorful laminated brochure in the seat pocket. Besides, we know the drill. Just take note of the exits. If we even survive the crash, get out of the plane through the nearest hole. It's not that complicated.
