The power of your ears
Curious how the world sounds to someone with hearing loss?
Step into our sound booth for an ear-opening experience! You'll listen to sounds captured by special microphones on a head dummy and discover how they change with different types of hearing loss. Then, explore how hearing aids and cochlear implants can help people hear again.
Prepare to:
- hear the difference between normal hearing and various hearing losses;
- experience how sounds are processed by hearing aids and a cochlear implant;
- learn about the amazing technology that helps people overcome hearing challenges.
This immersive experience will give you a new appreciation for the sense of hearing and the incredible ways we can help those with hearing loss.
