Hard of Hearing Users
Hard of Hearing Users
There are a view important actions you can take to best serve hard of hearing or D/deaf users.
- Make sure no content is presented in entirely audio format.
- All content should have a full text alternative – this means audio files must have complete transcripts, and video files must have accurate captions.
- When gathering user information via forms, the telephone number should not be the only communication information you collect.
