Abstract
W3C has been establishing guidelines for the standardizing of WEB technology used in building WEB-sites. These guidelines can be applied internationally, however, as yet, W3C has no guidelines for hearing-impaired people. This is because it is thought that non-impaired and hearing-impaired people do not have a difference in the use (except for sounds) of WEB contents. I think that momentary recognition power and image sensitivity are different, between non-impaired and hearing-impaired people. I performed an experiment and considered how different web designs effected WEB accessibility of people with different disabilities. I found some differences between the non-impaired and the hearing-impaired people in this experiment. These were the differences in the reaction to text and picture information.
