Passport Experience: Hearing
Passport ID: Viking Dana
Simulation: Hearing Impairment
Passport Experience:
Viking Dana is watching a senior podcast on a TV in the CFA lobby. There is a music competition in progress and Dana can't hear the podcast.
Let's step into Dana's shoes to watch the podcast. We will discuss possible solutions after the passport experience.
Department of Art Podcast: YouTube Captions Simulator
Resource for loud noises in the simulator: YouTube People Talking
Steps for the experience:
- Open the podcast in one tab of your browser. Play the podcast video on mute.
-
Open the People Talking video in a separate tab. Play the YouTube People Talking video aloud.
- Turn on/off closed captions on the podcast video. Look for the transcript.
Thank you for participating! VCSU will continue to foster an understanding of how people with disabilities experience and use technology. While participating in this passport exercise, we hope you were able to discover empathy on three levels:
- Cognitive: Being able to take another person's perspective.
- Emotional: Sharing experiences. Truly understanding the person's emotional state.
- Compassionate: Being able to feel a person's situation. Feel with them and take action to help.
