Hotel Survey

Hello! My name is Courtney—I am a HOH undergraduate researcher at Penn State.

I am conducting research on the accommodations for Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing individuals in hotels. This research study was made to determine whether Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals want to see more accommodations in hotels, and the findings will be reported to the lodging industry at-large. The goal of this is to make sure that hotel owners and operators understand the needs and desires of the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community.

Would you be willing to take this 7-8 minute survey?

Also, if you have any Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing friends or family members that would be interested in participating in this anonymous survey, please share this link with them.
