Deaf technology

Think about your everyday life.

What everyday activities rely on sound? How much do you use sound to get through your everyday life?

Now consider the life of a Deaf* person and the adaptations they must use in order to make their environment accessible to them.

Go online and find a piece of adaptive technology (NO HEARING AIDS OR COCHLEAR IMPLANTS!) Describe how the device functions – what exactly does it do for Deaf* people, and how does it go about doing it. Consider the benefits and costs (both literal and figurative) of devices.

Do you think the devices are seen as a good thing?

Do you think they benefit the community?

Do you think they may in any way harm or hurt the Deaf community?
