Students will analyze how hearing loss influences behavior of individuals and interactions among individuals within larger social/societal groups across the lifespan. They will consider the importance of early detection of hearing loss, advocacy and promotion of hearing conservation in different environments, and socio-emotional effects of hearing loss with aging. Approaches to promoting behaviors that enhance communication in the presence of hearing loss will be explored. Philosophical, policy, and cultural controversies for defining hearing loss as a disability will be examined.
