Living With Deafness: My Own test of what it’s like to be hard of hearing

As part of my research into deafness I decided to test what it actually felt like to be hard of hearing and in doing so it opened my eyes to what millions of people all over the world had to live with day in and day.

For my test I used industry strength ear plugs, these are the kind that people who work day in and day out with heavy duty industrial machinery use, they are very affective in deadening sound.

I conducted my experiment over a weekend this way my family were home and I could see the effect if any that it had on family life. I went to bed and inserted the plugs into both ears which felt a little strange at first but I wanted to wake and start the day off as hard of hearing.
