Abstract(in English) This paper discusses acceptability of textual information and sign video as the information assurance method for hearing impaired people. We prepared three kinds of video for the test data; sign only sign video, sign video with caption and only caption video. Either of three videos was presented to subjects. Subjects were divided into three groups; deaf native signer of JSL, deaf non-native signer of JSL and hearing people who were studying JSL. Then four Japanese written sentences, which were related to the contents of test data and included one wrong sentence, were presented. Subjects were instructed to select and answer the wrong sentence among them. While subjects were watching the test video, points of gaze were measured and recorded using an eye tracker. As the results of the experiments, deaf signers, especially native signers were good at reading sign language proportioned to that of written sentence. From the result of the analysis of eye tracking data, people who were good at reading sign language concentrated their gaze in the signer's face. From these results, for the communication method of wide variety of hearing impaired people, it is desirable to present by sign language than by written sentences.
