Southwest High School Biomedical Pathway (Good Vibrations)

You’ve likely experienced older adults with hearing aids struggling to hear what you’re saying to them. You probably feel like hearing loss might have something to do with age, right? But have you ever considered which types of sounds they find the hardest to hear? Since sounds are made of waves which vibrate at different frequencies, certain types of sounds are harder to hear!
In this exploration, festival goers will participate in an experience to investigate how aging impacts hearing.
