Long questionnaire in Italy

Eugeni conducts an initial pilot study with a reduced sample of respondents, who are asked about their views on different aspects of SDH (font, position, character identification and relevance of paralinguistic components). This pilot study serves as a basis for the analysis of the longer and more thorough questionnaire presented in the second part of the chapter. The results of this study show a potentially changing situation in Italy, with a great deal of differences in the respondents' preferences depending on whether they are deaf, hard of hearing or hearing.
