Deaf and Hard of Hearing Americans' Instant Messaging and E-mail Use: A National Survey.

Bowe, Frank G.

American Annals of the Deaf, v147 n4 p6-10 Oct 2002

A survey of 884 adults with hearing impairments found they were using e-mail and instant messaging (IM) more than TTY and telecommunications relay services. Virtually all participants had e-mail and IM at home. While the vast majority also had and used e-mail at work, just 1 in 3 had IM. (Contains 2 references.) (Author/CR)
