Heading to the ACDC concert tonight in Perth? Don’t let the volume leave you Thunderstruck!

Concerts typically range between 100 and 140 decibels, putting you at risk for conditions such as tinnitus and sensorineural hearing loss.

What can you do to protect your hearing?
~ Wear ear plugs (your ears will thank you!)
~ Check sound levels using an app on your phone such as Decibel X
~ Move away from speakers
~ Take short breaks when possible

Enjoy the music and make hearing protection part of your concert essentials.

Does hearing loss run in families?

Yes! While noise exposure and aging are common causes, research now shows genetics can also play a role in hearing health, especially for middle-aged and older adults.

What should you do if someone you know is experiencing hearing loss?

✖️ DON'T
- Take it personally if they mishear or ask you to repeat.
- Speak facing away from them.
- Delay the conversation about getting help.

✔️ DO
- Be patient and understanding.
- Include your loved ones in conversations.
- Encourage a hearing check-up.

Understanding how to support a loved one is an important step in creating a healthy hearing future for everyone.

Experiencing a “blocked” sensation in your ears?

It could be the accumulation of too much wax leading to sometimes mild difficulties hearing, pain, itchiness or even ringing in the ear.

What should you do if you suspect a wax blockage?

〰️ It's best to avoid DIY treatment as cotton buds can cause more harm than good, pushing wax further down the canal.

〰️ For effective treatment, reach out to our team or book a wax removal appointment at one of our Lions Hearing Clinics today [see link in the comments below]

The Ear Science Institute Australia team recently visited Jigalong Remote Community School to connect with the local community and learn more about how a new headset design could best support listening and communication in everyday life.

By understanding the experiences of the community first hand, Ear Science researchers and our technology partner Audeara can co-design solutions that best support community needs.

This project has been proudly supported by Telethon7 Perth research grants, helping us bring innovative hearing solutions to communities across Western Australia.

For many people, hearing loss occurs slowly over a number of years. Here are 5 early signs of hearing loss to look out for

~ Often asking people to repeat themselves
~ Always turning up the TV or radio
~ Difficulty understanding people who speak softly, quickly, or with an accent
~ Struggling to follow conversations
~ Feeling fatigued after social interactions

If any of these signs feel familiar, it may be time to book a hearing check. Ignoring them can lead to isolation and affect your wellbeing.

Getting your hearing tested is easy, and there are plenty of options available. Connect with our friendly team via the link below to find an option that's best for you.

👂 Did you know middle ear infections (otitis media) are a leading cause of hearing loss in children?

At Ear Science, our researchers are developing an innovative drug-infused scaffold that will deliver a targeted treatment directly into the middle ear, fighting infections early and effectively.

Thanks to the CellCYTE X live cell and spheroid imaging system, kindly provided through a Telethon7 Perth equipment grant, our team can better study and combat ear infections, helping prevent hearing loss in Western Australian children 💙
