People with unilateral hearing loss are those who has hearing impairment in one ear. People with unilateral hearing loss have trouble in their daily lives but suffer from not being understood that by those around them. One way for normal hearing people to understand unilateral hearing loss is to experience the condition of unilateral hearing loss. In this paper a website was created to help normal-hearing people understand the hearing of people with a hearing loss in one ear.
