Dangerous Decibels Program Walk-Through: 5. What's That Sound?

Make sure that you point out how difficult it is to hear some sounds and how much work you have to do to recognize them with a hearing loss. It doesn’t mean you completely lose the ability to hear anything at all.

You can play the sounds more than once, especially in the beginning to help students hear the differences. The differences can be discussed very simply: softer vs. louder; clear vs. unclear, sharp vs. dull for instance.
