    Switched At Birth Summary

    • 903 Words
    • 4 Pages

    After watching three episodes of Switched at Birth (the persistence of memory, the stag hunt, and uprising, respectively) my knowledge of growing up with any sort of hearing loss, whether that’s total hearing loss or partial, has expanded immensely.

The first episode I watched was titled the persistence of memory which is episode six of season one, and very important to learning about deaf culture because it explores Daphne, the main character, adjusting to a hearing school while being fully deaf.…
