Bionic Ear Show
Wednesday 21 October, at 2pm in LT2 in the LRC in Harrow. Free entry. No need to book.
Look after your ears now…enjoy music forever...
The Bionic Ear Show is particularly relevant for those who are interested in music and reliant on good hearing for their careers.
The Bionic Ear Show tells the story of sound as it travels through the ear to the brain, what happens in different parts of the hearing system, and how each part of the system can fail or break down.
The show aims to raise awareness of the importance of hearing, how it can be damaged and what you can do to protect it.
During the show, the presenter builds the world’s largest ear on stage – a huge outer ear on one side and a giant brain on the other. In between, interactive demonstrations and models illustrate every stage of the hearing process.
Anyone who wants to know how to protect their hearing or who might be experiencing age-related hearing loss and wants to know more about the condition will find the show fun and informative.
