How to reference this medium
In experiments and self-testing, the students should experience hearing impairment themselves and as a result understand how difficult the everyday life of deaf people is.
Preparation:
One third of the class is given earplugs to put in both ears; another third gets just one earplug. The other students retain their full hearing ability. The earplugs are removed for the class discussion and then the three groups switch roles so that in the end each student has taken on each role.
Relevant for teaching:
Hearing damage/hearing impairment
