Abstract
In design development, the architect must plan the space in a way that encompasses both physical and psychological comfort, taking into account the premises of universal design. The ergonomic intervention suffers some limitations due to the flawed design process, requiring a greater cost to adapt the space in specific cases. This study aims to demonstrate the importance of using universal design as a design guideline, to specify the restrictions experienced by people with hearing impairment that impede or hamper the process of social and cognitive interaction and to demonstrate how design solutions can bring solutions to these problems.
