It\u2019s never too early to encourage young people and share your passion for your own profession. That\u2019s why the Academy for Hearing Acoustics (afh) joined the Luebeck \u201eMiniMaster\u201c series of event again with a lecture suitable for a young audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an understandable and interesting way, afh lecturers Lena Geschwandtner Lukas R\u00fcting explained to their young audience how hearing works. They covered the middle and inner ear and the functions of hearing. Moreover, they discussed the effects of a hearing loss and how hearing aid professionals can help mitigate it. Interactive experiments made the lecture lively and were very well received. There were many amazed children\u2019s faces during the tuning fork experiment on the transmission of sound waves. In a listening task at the end of the event, the audience was asked to identify animal noises and everyday sounds from a piece of music. The children participated actively and obviously had a lot of fun. With many new insights, they left the Hearing Acoustics Campus for home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201eMiniMaster\u201c series of lectures provides children with the opportunity to get to know places of science and education in Luebeck and meet with lecturers and researchers. This extra-curriculum activity promotes understanding and access to exciting topics and current issues, which can only be dealt with briefly during the regular school classes. The lectures each last 45 minutes and are free of charge. For organizational reasons, a registration is required. Children can collect stamps for their attendance and once they have reached a certain number, they will be named \u201eMiniMaster\u201c at the closing event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
