Not sure about this using Apt, as I always let the kernel updates go

Perhaps he will have a suggestion.

Btw. I apologise if you don't understand some of what I've said. I'm
sighted, but find it difficult explaining something that I can see, to
someone who is blind. Perhaps I should just speak to you, just like I
would with a sighted person, perhaps leaving out the GUI stuff.
It is possible to rig GRUB so that you can fly it blind, so to speak,
even if you don't have a speech synth available at that point. You'd
remove the hidden menu option, so a menu is always presented (that
avoids having to hit another key at the right moment), and set it to
beep when the menu appears (just with a control G key sequence somewhere
in the printed text). When you hear the beep, you'd know that you had a
few seconds to cursor up or down to a different kernel (counting the key
strokes), and press enter to proceed, or you could just wait and let it
boot up with the default.
