Sharing an opportunity for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community 💙
Your experiences matter. A UCLA student research team, working alongside a founder who is Hard of Hearing, is looking to better understand how D/HOH individuals stay aware of emergencies, alerts, and important situations while asleep.
The survey is short (about 3 minutes), your perspective could help shape more accessible and inclusive solutions for the future.
If you're Deaf or Hard of Hearing, we'd greatly appreciate you taking a few minutes to share your experience.
