22.01.2022 Hearing aids are not just for hearing speech....

22.01.2022 After watching Australian Story tonight on children swallowing batteries, please be aware of 'Hearing Aid' (button) batteries also that were not mentioned. They can pose a great risk to children who may think they are lollies and swallow them! Accent Hearing Clinic has a battery collection point for safe waste disposal of spent batteries. Parents and Grand Parents, please DO NOT KEEP BATTERIES WHERE CHILDREN CAN ACCESS THEM! Safety reforms passed in 2020 have made Government... listen to concerns of parents who have had children die from swallowing these types of batteries and changes are in place over the next 18 months until 2022 to help with this preventable issue! So those with old hearing aid batteries, come and see us and please dispose of them properly. Even with new batteries still in the packet are at risk, so again do not store at accessible levels to children. Please share https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgQvwBz7R-g&feature=emb_logo See more

17.01.2022 Does this mean other dolls can hear us!

07.01.2022 A section through the organ of Corti in the cochlear of the inner ear. The tectorial (upper) membrane (beige) has been lifted. V-shaped arrangements of outer hairs (stereocilia, white) lie on top of a single outer hair cell (red). The hairs are surrounded by endolymph fluid. As sound enters the ear, it causes waves to form in the endolymph, which in turn causes these hairs to move. ... Outer hair cells amplify the vibrations, which are then picked up by inner hair cells (rows of hairs at right) that transmit the signal to auditory nerve fibres. This amplification enhances the sensitivity and dynamic range of hearing. At far left are Hensen's cells, a type of support cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM).
