Since there has been 50,000 layoffs in the tech industry recently, you might be better off going into stem cell therapy and related fields. That would help us out a LOT better.
Actually I was going to suggest he focus on creating more awareness of relay services in the countries he's talking about. Canada, the USA and many other countries have fully functioning relay services that make it very straightforward for deaf and hearing to communicate with each other ACCURATELY.

70,80 even 90% accuracy isn't good enough when it comes to conversations, especiall in an emergency, or when dealing with health or financial issues.

The technology already exists - I'd focus on finding ways to implement it in areas currently lacking.
