Stimulated Hearing Loss Assignment
For my stimulated hearing loss assignment I went to four different locations, which included ODU’s Café, CVS, the movie theater, and my apartment. I attendant these places with two of my friends who were also wearing earplugs. While completing this assignment I used HEAROS ear plugs, which had a NRR of 32.
My first destination as an individual with a hearing loss was the Café. When the lady at the entrance took my ODU card and told me to have a nice day I realized right away that it was awkward to talk. When she gave my card back to me I said “thankyou”. When I said “thankyou” it felt like I couldn’t hear myself that well. So I wasn’t sure if I was talking really low or really high. After getting my card back I went in line to get two hot dogs and some fries. When I arrived at the line the guy who was serving the food said something but I wasn’t sure what. …show more content…

The experience that I had with the ear plugs when I was actually watching the movie was much better than the experiences I had earlier that day.

With that being said, I now feel like I can understand why many individuals with hearing losses talk louder than, slower than, and not as smoothly as individuals without a hearing loss. I feel like it’s because they can’t hear themselves as well when they talk. Therefore, they have to overcompensate and take more time when

    584 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the novel Seeing Voices (1989), Oliver Sacks digs into the exploration of American Sign Language and the culture of Deaf people. Sacks studies the complex ways and effect in which language is used to impact the cognitive part of the brain. The Deaf community is very different from the hearing impaired because the community has had its challenges, language, and history. Denied the opportunity to take in a language, a child will grow up uneducated with no means of understanding and in no way have the ability to communicate with another person. With that being said deaf people in past were not "dumb" or uneducated in fact it was never their fault they were like that, but it was because they never had the chance of being taught a language.
