The JSD Teachers for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing Team has created a monthly newsletter. The full newsletter for August can be found at the link below. Stories include:
Reverberation - Reverberation is the way sound bounces in an environment. It makes hearing difficult because it smears speech. The chart below gives a visual representation of what hearing sound is like with increased reverberation.
Improving Acoustics - Use FM/audio devices. Close windows/doors. Use sound absorbing items like bookshelves, cork boards, drapes, carpet. Put rubber or tennis balls on chair legs. Good lighting also helps.
Closed Captioning - Just a friendly reminder to make sure all videos are accessible by turning on closed captioning or subtitles.
