Workers were left stunned after taking part in a surprising experiment – designed to replicate what it’s like to deal with hearing difficulties in the office.
The participants were fitted with specially-moulded hearing plugs that partially blocked their ability to hear, before being put in everyday office situations to see how it impacted their ability to interact with others.
With the plugs blocking their ears, they were tested to see just how much they could make out of what was being said to them in office conversations.
