Online Survey About Voice Telecommunication Use for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Telecommunications Access at Gallaudet University is conducting an online
survey to learn about the experiences of adults who are hard of hearing, deaf or have hearing loss in their use of voice telecommunications technology in the U.S. (regular telephones, cell phones, captioned phones, Skype, etc.). To participate in the survey go to http://tap.gallaudet.edu/telecomsurvey/.
The goal is to better understand how such adults use current voice telecommunications technology, what barriers they face using it, and what needs they have for improved accessibility. Survey participants must be 18 years or older, have hearing loss, use voice telecommunications regularly (at least once per week), and have access to the internet in order to complete the survey. The survey will take approximately 15-30 minutes to complete.
If you have questions or wish to take the survey over the phone or on paper, contact: Linda Kozma-Spytek at Linda.kozma-spytek@gallaudet.edu.
