Yesterday, I had the pleasure of presenting to the students of Crescenta Valley High School's Academy of Science and Medicine program. The presentation is part of the grassroots effort on behalf of House Ear Institute's (www.hei.org) teen hearing conservation program titled, "It's How You Listen That Counts!"
The presentation included a range of topics including: basic anatomy of the ear, noise-induced hearing loss information and prevention, benefits of earplugs, how to use earplugs and the myth of cotton swabs. Afterwards, the students had some of the most thought-provoking questions about hearing and ear health! They were an outstanding group, not to mention very respectful!
Hopefully, the group will be able to schedule a field trip to visit the House Ear Institute to check out the ear model in the lobby and a few research labs!
I hope that I will be asked to return for more presentations at Crescenta Valley in the future!
I plan to post some photos from the presentations soon.
