It is extremely important for audiologists and speech-language pathologists who provide aural rehab services to understand the impact hearing loss has on a patient’s daily life. To stimulate these experiences students will wear foam earplugs during a minimum of 4 different activities. Two activities must be ones where oral communication is used. Do not choose activities where hearing is needed for safety (driving, running, walking, biking, or in course lectures! Etc.). Students will write a 1-1.5 page double spaced reflection on their experience.
