Trivia

• This episode has no audio beyond music and the actors say all their lines in ASL. The entire point is to give hearing people a taste of being deaf.
• This episode received many complaints about the lack of audio and sounds meaning that viewers have to reply on reading the subtitles or captions in order to follow what is going on in the episode.

Goofs

• When Daphne walks up to Noah and tells him her hearing aid battery died his locker is open. When he hands her new ones it is closed. He is in frame the entire time he is not seen closing it.
