Walk in my Shoes ( part 2)

I just ran across an article that I thought would be interesting to the hearing impaired community.  
Lance Cairns, a cricket legend from New Zealand, who is also hearing impaired, is asking KIWI CEOS  to participate in a challenge on August 2 . They will be wearing hearing protectors which will simulate deafness. During the day, they will experience a one-to-one meeting, a team meeting, a social get together, and tv time with the family. The purpose of the challenge is to raise nationwide awareness and funds for the National Awareness for the Deaf.

I think this would be a good activity for family and friends so that they could experience "walking in our shoes".
