Listen Up!

This week we had some visitors from Kings College come to speak to us about protecting our hearing.
The girls presented some fantastic experiments to help us really understand how easily we can damage our ears.



We even got to test a decibel meter to see how loud our class is when we are working.  Thankfully we have learnt that as long as we use normal talking voices and not raised voices, we stay in the safe zone. That's great motivation for keeping the noise level down!

If you are exposed to noise that may be over the safe limit of 85dB, there are three actions you can take.  They are:




The Kings' College students ran this workshop as part of a community service program that runs at their school.  They did an amazing job of presenting - like professionals.  Thanks girls - we learnt heaps!

That was really great to learn how our ears work. We should start protecting them now so in the future we'll have good hearing like now. I don't think anyone would want to have bad hearing!
