Saturday, 15 March 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were back again for another day of talking to people of all ages about hearing and cochlear implants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our key messages were:<\/strong><\/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

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. We had a new activity to demonstrate the parts of the brain that are involved in hearing and how these regions cross over with regions involved in anxiety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
