Bold white text on black reads “RESEARCH QUESTION” with italicized text beneath that reads “How do the d/Deaf and hard of hearing experience music in various socio-technical contexts?”

Eight screenshots of participants in zoom interviews, with their faces blacked out. Black text on light gray background reads: “11 participants, 8 interviews, 2 co-design workshops.”

White text on black background reads “DESIGN RESEARCH ACTIVITIES: 1. word exercise, 2. image mapping exercise, 3. Drawing exercise. Screenshots of participant’s exercises and drawings of concert setups, stages, and a radio.

Eight black and white zine spreads featured on a dark gray background. The following spreads are included: “music accessibility guidelines, captioning, live performance spaces, music interpretation, and do’s and don’ts.” Participants’ quotes and descriptions of each guideline are included on each spread, with black and white imagery.

Music accessibility

This research explores the music experiences of deaf, Deaf, and hard of hearing people, through interviews, co-design sessions, and literature review. We examined the differences in accessibility depending on the socio-technical context and we learned more about the DIY workarounds that the d/DHH people employed to enjoy music on their own terms.
