As part of an assignment for my special education class for the education department, we had to simulate a disability. I chose a hearing impairment so I wore noise cancelling earplugs for 6 hours this past weekend to compare what was different. I found that I could do almost everything as I normally would. However, several things had to be done differently than normal. I had to put my cell [hone on vibrate in order to know when I received texts or other messages and I had to put subtitles (which were not very accurate) on the videos I was watching.
