Hello, my name is Aisling and I am currently studying my Postgraduate degree in Audiology in UCC. I am currently working on a project looking at the positive and negative experiences of people who are Deaf. I would really like to know what situations you face everyday and if there is anything that could be done to help people who face this negativity on a day-to-day basis. There is a link to a short survey below of 10 questions which lasts approximately 4 minutes. If you do not wish to further answer any questions, that is no problem. Your results are completely anonymous and individual results will not be shared with anyone. I would really appreciate your opinions on this survey and hope to educate others on your daily experiences. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FB6YD2T
