| Study subjects will first be asked to fill out an information sheet to confirm that they do not meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Raven's Colored Progressive Materices (RCPM) will be administered as existing cognitive function tests to confirm whether cognitive functions and basic language functions are maintained. We also evaluate whether there are any items that are difficult for the deaf person to respond to. Finally, a sign language call test is conducted to evaluate the response of the deaf person. The test time is limited to a maximum of one hour per person. The responses of the subjects during the test will be recorded by video camera and analyzed. | — |
