Hearing Accessibility.

I have mentioned, in the past, that I follow a list which is predominantly game designers who care about accessibility issue.  There is frequently one post over the course of a week, but some are technical and others relate to specific events of the Game Accessibility SIG for the International Game Developers Association. 

Accessibility for online gamers can be challenging if the designers don't think about accessibility issues at all.  This video by Mark Brown is interesting because he illustrates the good and the problems, and has suggestions.  This video focuses on hearing accessibility, and he promises to produce more on other disability issues.

I found it helpful to get a better understanding of some of the issues people with hearing disabilities face.   It runs a bit over 12 minutes.
