Science and Engineering Festival 2024<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, 16 March 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the theme of British Science Week was ‘Time’. We had key messages for people of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young children<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We wanted to raise awareness of hearing interventions such as hearing aids and cochlear implants. Our aim was to change mindsets and reduce stigma associated with hearing inventions from an early age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teenagers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We looked to raise awareness of safe listening. We encouraged visitors to limit unsafe noise exposure through personal head and ear phones when gaming or listening to music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key message: Set safe listening levels on your devices!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adults<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We raised awareness of the importance of regular hearing tests and it’s importance for brain health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

This year, we had a second exhibit where visitors could try out the free online RNID hearing check<\/a>. This hearing check takes just 3 minutes and can indicate if you may need to book a full hearing test. We had queues of visitors wanting to have a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to ALL_EARS@UoS members for running the exhibit!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
