Auditory fatigue

Tiredness due to the increased effort required for listening.

  • Raise staff awareness that deaf learners may experience auditory fatigue due to the increased effort required for listening.

  • Timetable regular movement breaks for all learners. This helps deaf learners recover from listening fatigue without feeling singled out and helps reduce cognitive overload for all.

  • Build in planned breaks for deaf learners to rest from intensive listening tasks. This helps prevent auditory fatigue and supports sustained focus throughout the day
