Description 249-263
The study examines soundless success: a comprehensive study of academic information access for hearing-impaired
students in Karnataka. The data was collected using both quantitative and qualitative methods, including in-depth
interviews, survey methods, and focus groups conducted among 1027 hearing impaired students in the state of Karnataka.
The results of the study showed that hearing impaired students' information-seeking behaviors are similar to those of normal
students. Although, their challenges involve searching for information because they do not have modern facilities, due to the
lack of support infrastructures at school. In other words, they are bound to encounter barriers before they can meet their
information needs. This causes them to waste much time in the information-seeking process, so they are slowed down in
many ways. This study identifies constraints and challenges and suggests ways to improve current digital and electronic
information sources and services.
