As you my know, the co-produced project, brings together art, healthcare and science to raise awareness of hearing loss and encourage early identification. Visitors are invited into a safe space to interact with the exhibition and listen to birdsongs emitted from handmade bird boxes. The 5 birdsongs contain frequencies that are similar to those lost with an age-related or noise-induced hearing impairment. Visitors can chose to have their hearing check with the HearCheck by a trained member of staff. More details attached.
Please do pop in for your free hot drink and to experience the installation! No need to book, just turn up and say hey!
