摘要：

Discusses the potential of computer-mediated communication to reduce the social isolation experienced by many deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. Communication presents significant problems for this group of people, some of which can be bridged by communicating via the Internet or e-mail, deaf Internet users were surveyed by use of a questionnaire. Their options, summarised in this paper emphasise the significance of computer-mediated communication for the deaf namely that interaction can be both less stressful and faster thereby reducing the isolation many feel due to the Physical constraints imposed by their deafness.
