Audio Accessibility

Audio Accessibility was founded by Svetlana Kouznetsova (Sveta). She has been providing consulting services to a wide variety of businesses on how they may better reach 466 million deaf and hard of hearing people in the world. Sveta became profoundly deaf from meningitis at age 2. She has had to use various alternative solutions to effectively navigate communication and information barriers throughout her life. Sveta is a former hearing aid user, a current cochlear implant user, a native Russian speaker, a fluent ASL user, and can communicate in at least 5 languages. Captions on TV changed Sveta's life when she was 15 years. They played a major role in helping her master English as her third language and access aural information in the same language. Since then Sveta cannot imagine her life without captioning access. She has also interacted with many deaf and hard of hearing people from all walks of life. Many people think that deafness is a weakness, but Sveta has proven them otherwise through her consulting and international speaking. If your business is interested to learn more about accessibility or to improve your accessibility strategy, you can send Svetlana a message to request a consulting service, training session, or speaking engagement. Looking forward to working with you!
