Medical Student Amanda Mooneyham, who has a profound hearing loss, participated in her surgery rotation with the aid of “tablet technology” and remote live captioning by a Student Disability Center stenographer. Amanda was able to “listen” in real time to every word spoken in the surgery theatre by reading the captions.
