- 15. Ageing and hearingloss • Solutions • Captions • Audio contrast Image: https://www.3playmedia.com/2016/08/09/new-zealand-parliament-tv-adds-closed-captioning/
- 16. Ageing and visiondecline • Impact: • Decreasing ability to focus on near tasks • Changing colour perception and sensitivity • Decreasing contrast sensitivity • Prevalence: (significant vision loss) • 16% of people 65 - 74 years • 19% of people 75 – 84 years • 46% of people 85+ years
- 17. Ageing and vision decline •Solutions • Larger text • Higher contrast • Off-white background • Avoid florescent colours • Underline links • Reflow Image: https://www.giaging.org/issues/vision/

Example User Stories •As an older person with poor hearing, I want captions on videos so that I can understand the dialogue • As an older person with cataracts (blue and green is harder to see), I want links underlined so that I know where to click to find the information I need • As an older person with Parkinson’s disease, I want large clickable elements so that I can navigate more easily • As an older person with concentration issues, I don’t want animations autoplaying so I can read the article I selected
