Understanding Communication Challenges for Deaf and hearing Impaired individuals

Hello,

We are students of NIFT working on an academic design project focused on improving how Deaf and hearing-impaired individuals receive important alerts and communication in daily life, especially during situations like sleeping or bathing.


This survey aims to understand your experiences, challenges, and needs regarding alerts from others and daily communication so that we can design more accessible and effective solutions.

Your responses will remain confidential and will be used only for academic purposes.

Thank you for your time and valuable input.

Only if you feel comfortable, please proceed with answering the following questions; your responses will help us gain deeper insights and develop appropriate solutions.
