The DiscovEARy Zone

The DiscovEARy Zone (DZ) is an exhibit designed to promote hearing loss prevention (HLP) and educate the public (and your patients/consumers) about the negative effects of listening to sounds that are too loud for too long. Enter the Zone and learn how you can incorporate the hands-on displays and activities into your practice.

• See colorful posters that can be used in your office are at health fairs.
• Meet Hank and Herbie Hair cells – the icons of DiscovEARy Zone.
• Experience low-tech (flip-up posters) and high-tech (iPads) interactive games for children of all ages (including adults)!
• Test your ability to properly use hearing loss prevention devices (HPD) by performing “fit” tests!
• Come in and meet Tim Panic and Kali Bration and see if YOU are listening to your personal music player at safe levels.
• See the dBCheck – a hand held device that displays both listening level and safe exposure time.
• Learn about musician monitoring systems and how you can promote HLP in your local schools and churches.

DiscovEARy Zone is now set up as demonstration centers for you to experience. See how the DZ can work in your practice waiting room, a counseling room, or a pediatric waiting room.
