Differences between Hearing-impaired and Hearing in Performing Web-based Tasks

Recently, computer-based support for the hearing-impaired has expanded with the development of a web-based interaction environment. The web is a promising medium for the hearing-impaired since it allows us to control content presentation. Currently, the issue of how the hearing-impaired interact with the web is inadequately studied. We believe computer-based support for the hearing-impaired will improve when we better understand their interaction with computerbased materials. Our study began with detailed observations of how the hearing-impaired use the web by tracking eye movement and hyperlink selections and comparing the results with those of hearing persons.
